HABITAT ANALYSIS 1: HABITAT USE AND MOVEMENT

Catalog description

Effective habitat management necessitates an understanding of how animals use and move through the landscape, including rangelands. This is an advanced undergraduate and introductory graduate course designed to familiarize students with multiple techniques of assessing the influence of habitat on site selection of terrestrial animals (wild and domestic). However, topics covered in this course are broadly analogous to other ecosystems. Emphasis will be placed on analysis of habitat use (space use) and animal movement from multiple study designs.
