本課程以大學部學生入門生態學為目標，學生以基本化學、數學及普通生物學為基礎，透過演化學貫穿課程核心。本課程目標是以生態學主要概念之教授為主，以生物與環境、族群生態、群落生態與生態系統等四層次介紹生態學基本原理，其中含括自然史、個體生態學、族群生態學、交互作用之生態學、群落與生態系、地景系統與全球變遷等。因此每章節均以二至四個大概念，提供該章節應有之綜覽，以數個個案進行討論，並透過野外實習進行現地驗證，提供日後就業時蒐集現地生態景觀資料之基本能力。

This course aims at introductory ecology for undergraduate students. Students are based on basic chemistry, mathematics and general biology, and run through the core of the course through evolution. The goal of this course is to teach the main concepts of ecology and introduce the basic principles of ecology at four levels: organisms and environment, ethnic ecology, community ecology and ecosystems, including natural history, individual ecology, ethnic ecology, interaction ecology, communities and ecosystems, landscape systems and global change, etc. Therefore, each chapter uses two to four major concepts to provide an overview of the chapter, discuss several cases, and conduct on-site verification through field practice to provide the basic ability to collect local ecological landscape data for future employment.

1.從個體生態、族群生態、群聚生態、生態系的角度來瞭解環境與生物的關係及互動。
2.了解並關心我們生活的環境的問題及可能解決的方法。
3.了解生態學在未來的應用性

1. Understand the relationship and interaction between the environment and organisms from the perspectives of individual ecology, ethnic ecology, group ecology, and ecosystem.
2. Understand and care about the problems of the environment in which we live and possible solutions.
3. Understand the future applications of ecology
