Objectives: Application of ecological concepts to the study and
management of wildlife populations and their habitat.
Management of game and non-game species considered.
Computer exercises explore population dynamics, habitat use, and
harvest strategies.
This course will introduce students to
principles used to protect or manipulate wildlife populations
for a specific objective. Effective management first
requires an understanding of the ecology of wildlife and their
habitats, so we will focus on those topics throughout most of
the semester. We will also examine principles of sampling,
harvest, and human-dimensions as these concepts influence are
ability to manage wildlife. Lab exercises will generally
demonstrate hands-on applications of wildlife management
principles. Students will also be required to apply
concepts learned during lecture to a term project. BIOL 271
is a prerequisite for this class and students should have some
familiarity with computers.
