Course curriculum for the Population Biology program at the University of California, Davis, often works near the interface between ecology, the study of interactions between organisms and their environment, and evolutionary biology, which aims to understand how populations and species evolve. Areas of research are often directed toward basic science, but also often addresses applied problems such as overcrowding, invasive species, and extinction. Students gain advanced knowledge of population growth, structure and dynamics, population interactions, community ecology, food webs, biogeography, behavioral and physiological ecology, life history strategies, systematics, evolution, population and quantitative genetics, and genomics.

加州大学戴维斯分校的人口生物学课程课程通常在生态学之间的界面，生物与其环境之间的相互作用的研究以及进化生物学之间起作用，该研究旨在了解种群和物种的进化方式。研究领域通常针对基础科学，但也经常解决应用问题，例如人满为患，入侵物种和灭绝。学生获得了人口增长，结构和动态，人口相互作用，社区生态，食物网，生物地理学，行为和生理生态学，生活史策略，系统学，进化，种群和定量遗传学以及基因组学的知识。
