Course Description

Explores the application of demographic methods in the conservation and management of animal populations. Techniques explored include maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation, count-based models, mark-recapture models, occupancy models, matrix models, and sensitivity analyses. Emphasizes application of these models in conservation decision making.
