BIO 395-02 - Advanced Special Topic: Readings in Conservation Biology

2 credits (Spring)

Though the science of sustaining biological diversity is fundamentally associated with ecology and population biology, it also applies other biological disciplines (e.g., such as genetics, reproductive physiology, and epidemiology) as well as involving ethical, legal, political, social, and economic issues. In this course, we will explore the diversity of theory and practice in conservation biology, via a seminar format that emphasizes reading,
discussion, and writing about primary literature.
