Waterfowl Ecol. & Evol. Lab

Catalog description

The goal of this course is to familiarize you with the ecology and management of North American waterfowl throughout their annual cycle by applying broad concepts from life history theory, behavioral and community ecology, and conservation biology. Each lecture, I will strive to provide basic background information on specific topics, and integrate this with new advances on the forefront of waterfowl research. Labs will focus on developing practical skills in applied waterfowl science, and field trips will familiarize you with waterfowl, their habitats, and methods in habitat management.
