ENV 530 - Wildlife Ecology and Management (4 cr.)

Wildlife Ecology seeks to explore the natural history and behavior of wildlife species. Exploration of methods for surveying and identifying wildlife, specifically vertebrates, will offer opportunities for discussion of primary literature. Through trapping, surveys, animal tracking using GPS and radio-telemetry, strict adherence to the scientific method, and GIS analysis, students will gain first-hand knowledge of tools for the wildlife professional. An independent research project, requiring time outside of class, will be developed, implemented, and presented by the graduate student. Student may not receive credit for both ENV 430 and ENV 530.
Prerequisite(s): One upper-division ecology course beyond general ecology or POI.
