Examines species response to these environmental changes, such as migration, adaptation, and extinction, and the implications for the delivery of ecosystem services and planetary health. Applies ecological principles to identify and evaluate practical solutions to pressing environmental challenges. ### requirements text (BIOLOGY/​ZOOLOGY  101,BOTANY/​BIOLOGY/​ZOOLOGY  151,BOTANY/​BIOLOGY  130,ZOOLOGY 153,BIOCORE 381,GEOSCI/​ATM OCN/​ENVIR ST  102,ILS/​ENVIR ST  126,GEOG/​ENVIR ST  120,127, or139) and (MATH 112,114, 171, or placement intoMATH 221) or grad/prof standing ### credits min 3 ### credits max 3 ### credit offering ids * 1272:355:026503 ### llm job id enrich-8b774950c2b6adfdc46d1b82 ### llm output id 9362d3d3b9e8df730791430c482bb7b964b693c6c24cdd7ff28b4da92b4cc9fb ### llm model nvidia/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 ### llm model revision 1355db6a052410cfd62085d94b58866fd0f2c3c5 ### llm task version 14 ### llm search status valid ### llm summary Explores the impact of global environmental change on biodiversity, ecosystem function, and human well-being. ### llm topics * Global environmental change and biodiversity * Ecosystem function and human well-being * Species migration, adaptation, and extinction * Ecosystem services and planetary health ### llm skills * Identifying and evaluating practical environmental solutions * Examining species responses to environmental changes ### llm assumed background * Ecological principles and ecosystem dynamics * Species response to environmental change * Genetics and population biology ### llm search phrases * biodiversity global change ecology * ecosystem function human well-being * species migration adaptation extinction * environmental change consequences ### llm requirements status valid ### llm student summary status valid ### llm experience status insufficient\_evidence ### catalog variants None recorded. ### student summary #### context hash c9590e74b8b1238487d83c3c94af48b96ef435f8a4dadb577bba5d3df63a0e98 #### course id ENTOM 490 #### current instructors ```json [ { "instructor_uid": "instructor_a8e61978d56a52f7cd12a09e", "message": "No course-specific reviews available", "name": "James Crall", "review_status": "no_course_reviews", "rmp_instructor_id": null, "summary": [ { "citations": [ { "course_id": "ENTOM 490", "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "section_number": 1, "source_course_id": "bef40ea1-87d6-3cfe-8ceb-211901bd3fde", "source_record": { "entity_id": "bef40ea1-87d6-3cfe-8ceb-211901bd3fde", "file": "tables/observations.parquet", "kind": "grades", "source": "madgrades" }, "table": "section_grades_latest", "term_id": "1252", "type": "grade" } ], "text": "Recent recorded grades — Fall 2024: 3.91 GPA, 95.5% A/AB (n=22 letter grades)." } ] } ] ``` #### difficulty workload None recorded. #### errors None recorded. #### historical context None recorded. #### message No course-specific reviews available #### offered true #### profile hash 5cb4dabf887cdbcd8c00d5a1312e10828b95c63f30bc3ea76aea199565390d02 #### quick take Recent recorded grades — Fall 2024: 3.91 GPA, 95.5% A/AB (n=22 letter grades). ```json { "citations": [ { "course_id": "ENTOM 490", "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "source_record": { "entity_id": "bef40ea1-87d6-3cfe-8ceb-211901bd3fde", "file": "tables/observations.parquet", "kind": "grades", "source": "madgrades" }, "table": "grades_latest", "term_id": "1252", "type": "grade" } ] } ``` #### student experience None recorded. #### task hash 74fb0997943e888960bbc9e47db8c4fd12e4292d55c20509d8d89db6a9910f68 #### teaching history JAMES CRALL is recorded teaching in Fall 2024.
