This lecture combines basic ecological research questions with presently pressing questions in the Anthropocene. The main focus will be on biotic interactions (predator-prey interactions, competition, host-parasite interactions, mutualisms, etc.) and how they change in a globalized world. Interdisciplinary questions from e.g. ecological economics will be covered as well. close
