It delves into biodiversity, trophic levels, and adaptations in ecosystems. Key themes include practical methods like capture-recapture, and experimental design in salt marshes. Additional focus areas are genetic inheritance, antibiotic resistance, and the impact of human activities on food security and disease control. Ethical debates around genetic engineering and the management of pests are also explored, emphasizing the integration of theoretical and applied biology.
