ZOOL 772 (01) - Fisheries Biology: Conservation and Management

Fisheries Biology

Credits: 3.0
Term: Spring 2020 - Full Term (01/21/2020 - 05/04/2020)

Class Size: 20
CRN: 54934

Globally, many fished populations are declining, but 3.2 billion people eat fish and the average human eats >40 pounds of fish a year. This course identifies what biological characteristics are important to management and how they are measured. The course also explores quantitative methods describing fishery-population interactions and other management tools. Lastly, students will learn about the impacts of fishing on ecosystems. Prereq: ZOOL 710 or equivalent; permission. (Not offered every year.)

ZOOL 833 (01) - Behavioral Ecology

Behavioral Ecology

Credits: 4.0
Term: Spring 2020 - Full Term (01/21/2020 - 05/04/2020)

Class Size: 4
CRN: 56337

Behavioral ecology is the evolution of animal behavior played out on the stage of ecology--why might a certain behavior be adaptive in a certain context? In this course, we will pursue in-depth, high-level explorations of the central topics of animal behavior, all through the lens of evolution. We will also focus heavily on improving reading, writing, and presentation skills.
