Module description

The diversity of marine life is matched by the extremes of environmental conditions in marine ecosystems. In this module you will explore how animals interact with their environment and how this translates to the patterns we see today in our oceans. We highlight the latest research on charismatic aquatic vertebrates (including turtles, sharks, rays, cetaceans, penguins and other aquatic birds) from Exeter Marine staff and investigate their form, function, ecology and physiology. Through practicals with live marine organisms, guest lectures and applied data workshops we teach you the skills needed to study the biology and patterns of marine life.
