Natural Resources Conservation 497M - ST-Eco&Conserv/MigratrySpecies

Migration is an essential life history strategy for a diverse group of species, from whales to butterflies, songbirds to wildebeest, and bats to fish. Many of these species are experiencing significant population declines and their complex life cycles pose novel conservation challenges. We will explore the conservation and full life-cycle ecology of these amazing animals and include discussions on new technological advances that have led to exciting discoveries in this growing field.

A course in Ecology or Wildlife Conservation is recommended.
