| Course
Description & Goals |
Sampling vertebrate populations, modeling their population dynamics and the implications for management. Focus will be on study design, model assumptions, estimation of population parameters, and population projections. State-of-the-art computer applications will be employed in laboratory exercises of actual and simulated data. Prerequisites: BIOL 271, STAT 401. (Cross-listed with FISH F625). (3+3)
Lectures
and computer based laboratories will be used to develop
knowledge of modeling theory and skills with analytical
software. By the end of the course, students will be able
to determine appropriate design and analysis approach for
studies of "marked" individuals and be able to use appropriate
software to complete their analysis. |
