Ecology of individual organisms, populations, communities and ecosystems. Students will gain foundational knowledge and quantitative skills in ecology through local and global case studies and critical analyses of conceptual controversies in ecology, to illustrate ecological debate and the way in which ecological knowledge is advanced. Students will also participate in advanced topics discussion to see how ecology is applied in research.

You will be participating in all learning activities with students enrolled in BIOL2010 Ecology.

Watch this video for an introduction to studying BIOL2010.

We will examine the fundamentals in the field of ecology, building on skills and contentᅠcovered in BIOL1030 and SCIE1000. We will discuss ecological theory and methodologies using historical and modern examples from studies of many organisms, including plants, animals, and microbes, and in both local and global contexts.ᅠ

The course has four core modules that you will complete on UQExtend and in weekly workshops:

  • Module 1: symbiotic interactions and sensory ecology
  • Module 2: population and community ecology
  • Module 3: ecosystem and landscape ecology
  • Module 4: reproductive, behavioural and evolutionary ecology

In addition to UQExtend and aᅠsystematic series of workshops, you will participate in practical modules designed for you to explore ecological processes in a quantitative way, while allowing you to develop and test your hypotheses about these ecological processes. You will also participate in Journal Clubs throughout the semester to improve your scientific literacy skills by critically reading and appraising ecological literature. BIOL2010 is not organism or ecosystem specific and is appropriate for students interested in the study of plants, animals, and microbes in both marine and terrestrial systems.ᅠ

Majority of the student cohort in BIOL2010 are science students who have declared a biology-focussed major, but you'll learn with other students from environmental science, environmental management, biomedical science, biotechnology and wildlife science who are taking the course as elective study.ᅠ

For BIOL2910, you will participate in an excursion to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary on Friday 11th April to develop your science communication skills.

Please notify your Course Coordinator as soon as you become aware of any issue that may affect your ability to meet the assessment/attendance requirements of the course. The my.UQ website and the Course Profile for your course also provide information about your course requirements, the rules associated with your courses and services offered by the University.

A note for repeating students in this course

Any student who enrols in a course must not be given exemption or partial credit from their previous attempt(s) for any individual piece of assessment. Instead, the student must successfully complete all of the learning activities and assessment items within the study period of enrolment (PPL Assessment - Procedures).ᅠ

Applications for Extensions to Assessment Due Dates

Extension requests are submitted online via my.UQ – applying for an extension. Extension requests received in any other way will not be approved. Additional details associated with extension requests, including acceptable and unacceptable reasons, may be found at my.UQ.

Please note:

  • Requests for an extension to an assessment due date must be submitted through your my.UQ portal and you must provide documentation of your circumstances, as soon as it becomes evident that an extension is needed. Your application must be submitted on or before the assessment item's due date and time.
  • Applications for extension can take time to be processed so you should continue to work on your assessment item while awaiting a decision. We recommend that you submit any completed work by the due date, and this will be marked if your application is not approved. Should your application be approved, then you will be able to resubmit by the agreed revised due date.
  • If an extension is approved, you will be notified via your my.UQ portal and the new date and time for submission provided. It is important that you check the revised date as it may differ from the date that you requested.
  • If the basis of the application is a medical condition, applications should be accompanied by a medical certificate dated prior to the assignment due date. If you are unable to provide documentation to support your application by the due date and time you must still submit your application on time and attach a written statement (Word document) outlining why you cannot provide the documentation. You must then upload the documentation to the portal within 24 hours.
  • If an extension is being sought on the basis of exceptional circumstances, it must be accompanied by supporting documentation (eg. Statutory declaration).
  • For extensions based on a SAP you may be granted a maximum of 7 days (if no earlier maximum timeframe applies). See the Extension or Deferral availability section of each assessment for timeframes. Your SAP is all that is required as documentation to support your application. However, additional extension requests for the assessment item will require the submission of additional supporting documentation e.g., a medical certificate. All extension requests must be received by the assessment due date and time.
  • An extension for an assessment item due within the teaching period in which the course is offered, must not exceed four weeks in total. If you are incapacitated for a period exceeding four weeks of the teaching period, you are advised to apply for Removal of Course.
  • If you have been ill or unable to attend class for more than 4 weeks, you are advised to carefully consider whether you are capable of successfully completing your courses this semester. You might be eligible to withdraw without academic penalty - seek advice from the Faculty that administers your program.
  • Students may be asked to submit evidence of work completed to date. Lack of adequate progress on your assessment item may result in an extension being denied.
  • There are no provisions for exemption from an assessment item within UQ rules. If you are unable to submit an assessment piece then, under special circumstances, you may be granted an exemption, but may be required to submit alternative assessment to ensure all learning outcomes are met.

Applications to defer an exam

In certain circumstances you can apply to take a deferred examination for in-semester and end-of-semester exams. You'll need to demonstrate through supporting documentation how unavoidable circumstances prevented you from sitting your exam. If you can’t, you can apply for a one-off discretionary deferred exam.

Deferred Exam requests are submitted online via mySi-net. Requests received in any other way will not be approved. Additional details associated with deferred examinations, including acceptable and unacceptable reasons may be found at my.UQ.

Please note:

  • Applications can be submitted no later than 5 calendar days after the date of the original exam.
  • There are no provisions to defer a deferred exam. You need to be available to sit your deferred examination.
  • Your deferred examination request(s) must have a status of "submitted" in mySI-net to be assessed.
  • All applications for deferred in-semester examinations are assessed by the relevant school. Applications for deferred end-of-semester examinations are assessed by the Academic Services Division.
  • You’ll receive an email to your student email account when the status of your application is updated.
  • If you have a medical condition, mental health condition or disability and require alternative arrangements for your deferred exam you’ll need to complete the online alternative exam arrangements through my.UQ. This is in addition to your deferred examinations request. You need to submit this request on the same day as your request for a deferred exam or supplementary assessment. Contact Student Services if you need assistance completing your alternative exam arrangements request.
