Applied Wildlife Science

How many animals are in a wildlife population?  Are their numbers increasing, stable, or declining?  What are the primary threats to population persistence, and what management options do we have to counter those threats?  What information do we have, and how best can we use it to make effective management decisions?  These are the questions students are equipped to answer after completing Applied Wildlife Science - an essential course for conservation professionals.  This upper division course is offered every spring semester to undergraduates in the Wildlife Science major and is open to graduate students.

Graduate offering
Quantitative Methods and Models in R

Progressing from data to valid ecological inference requires the use of statistical models.  Recent years have seen an explosion in statistical tools, yet too little practical guidance is available for choosing among and applying these tools.  In this course students hone their modeling skills in labs and through the book "Ecological Models and Data in R" by Ben Bolker.  Next offered Fall 2019. Co-taught with Dr. John Stella.
