Conservation Biology is a relatively new discipline in biology which addresses the alarming loss of biological diversity around the globe. The basic goals of the discipline are to understand the causes and consequences of this loss while also developing practical approaches to prevent extinction and preserve biodiversity on a global basis. The discipline combines a variety of other disciplines including population ecology and genetics, community and ecosystem ecology, and other non-biological disciplines including economics, and resource and land management. The course combines lecture and laboratory and a considerable amount of class time is dedicated to the discussion of current literature in the field. Prerequisites: BIOL 212, BIOL 220.
