BIOSCI 394
: Terrestrial Ecology and Conservation2023 Semester One (1233)
Explores theoretical ecology from populations to ecosystems. Applies ecological theory to conservation management through a cross-disciplinary lens in the context of social and cultural values. Students will test theoretical hypotheses in the field, conduct an ecological site assessment for conservation management and learn to use population viability analysis to assess risks to threatened populations.
Prerequisite: BIOSCI 206 and 220, or 104 and 30 points at Stage II in either Biological Sciences or Geography
