A full compilation of all 15 lectures of the University of Bristol course 'Evolutionary Ecology'. Independent reading is included (highlighted in yellow). The module covers how natural selection has promoted evolution of biodiversity, using examples from a range of model adaptive radiations, including Darwin's finches, African cichlid fishes and Anolis lizards.

A full compilation of all 15 lectures of the University of Bristol course 'Oceans'. Independent reading is included (highlighted in yellow). The module covers the key concepts relating to the evolution and ecology of life in oceanic systems.

A full compilation of all 15 lectures of the University of Bristol course 'Optimisation of Behaviour: Sex, Behaviour and Life Histories'. Independent reading is included (highlighted in yellow). The module focuses on the evolution and maintenance of sex.

A full compilation of all 15 lectures of the University of Bristol course 'Social Evolution: Genes to Societies'. Independent reading is included (highlighted in yellow). The module explains the unified theory of social evolution that applies from genes to civilisations which can be use to underpin the key phases in the transition to social living.

A full compilation of all 15 lectures of the University of Bristol 3rd year module 'Staying Alive: The Behaviour, Psychology and Ecology of Predator-Prey Interactions'. Independent reading is included (highlighted in yellow). The module focuses on understanding predator traits as well as the anti-predator traits in prey, the ecological impacts of predator-prey interactions, and how technology has been developed and used to study predator-prey interactions.

An in-depth set of notes on the lecture material of the 2nd year Biology module at the University of Bristol. If you learn from these notes you will be able to achieve a 2:1. However, if you would like to achieve a 1st you will need to do further reading outside of the lecture material.
