CONSERVATION BIOLOGY

BOTANY/ENVIRST/F&WECOL/ZOOLOGY 516

Investigate the science behind the protection of nature and preservation of biodiversity by focusing on both the biological and socioeconomic factors that underlie the challenges to and the impacts of conservation efforts. Explore the theory, research, and application of biological conservation from an interdisciplinary, international, solutions-focused perspective. Learn about the many threats to Earth's biodiversity but also examine in-depth and apply approaches to overcome them.

ECOLOGY AND THE GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT

ENVIRST 251

Ecology is the study of relationships in the natural world, many of which are increasingly being altered by human activities. These disruptions modify the environment on a global scale, affecting populations and communities of plants, animals, and other organisms, and making Earth increasingly inhospitable for life, including for humans. Explore the natural world and humans' role within it, as both instigators and managers of global environmental change.

BIODIVERSITY AND GLOBAL CHANGE

ENTOM 490

Explores the impact of global environmental change on biodiversity and the subsequent consequences for ecosystem function and human well-being. Examines species response to these environmental changes, such as migration, adaptation, and extinction, and the implications for the delivery of ecosystem services and planetary health. Applies ecological principles to identify and evaluate practical solutions to pressing environmental challenges.

CLIMATE CHANGE ECOLOGY

F&WECOL/ZOOLOGY 660

The evidence that the Earth's climate is changing at unprecedented rates is now overwhelming. Environmental tipping points are being crossed and many species are adapting or failing to adapt. Climate change poses a significant problem for conserving and managing wildlife and their habitats. Climate change, its ecological impacts, and the principle of climate change adaptation in natural resources conservation will be discussed.

PRINCIPLES OF WILDLIFE ECOLOGY

F&WECOL 318

Major environmental factors affecting wildlife; structure and behavior of wildlife populations; regional wildlife communities and their conservation.
