Introduction:
Ecology is the science of relationships, amongst organisms and between organisms and their environments. It is a vital science of the modern age because it underpins how best we can interact with, use and conserve the natural resources of the planet.
It is also concerned, at the largest scale, with the role of organisms as components of the ‘Life Support Systems’ of planet earth. Humankind is totally dependent on the 'goods and services' provided by organisms and ecosystems: Food, fibre and fuel; clean air and water; recreation, and even cultural identity.
Ecology underpins sustainable development and as such it is mainstream in policy development and planning. The Ecology degree at Stirling is designed to give a robust introduction to the subject, making it well grounded in theory and strongly relevant to real-life situations and improving students’ employability prospects.
