    Study Notes

    Evolutionary Ecology

    • Intersects with ecology and evolutionary biology
    • Considers the evolutionary causes and consequences of ecological interactions

    Main Subfields of Evolutionary Ecology

    • Not a main subfield: molecular ecology
    • Primarily considers the evolution of interactions between organisms and their environment
    • A large part of evolutionary ecology is the study of adaptation

    Cell Biology

    • The nuclear envelope is responsible for maintaining the integrity of genes and regulating gene expression
    • The function of the nuclear envelope is to separate the nucleus from the cytoplasm
    • Prokaryotic cells (such as bacteria) have no nuclei
    • The nuclear matrix is a network of filaments that provides structural support to the nucleus
    • Nearly all of the cell's genome is located in the nucleus
