ECOL 5680 - Landscape Genetics

Institution:

University of Wyoming

Subject:

ECOL

Description:

Provides a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary training and international collaboration uniting some of the most active landscape genetics groups in North America and Europe. A key objective of landscape genetics is to study how landscape modification and habitat fragmentation affect organism dispersal and gene flow across the landscape. Meeting this and other landscape genetic objectives requires highly interdisciplinary specialized skills making intensive use of technical population genetic skills and spatial analysis tools (spatial statistics, GIS tools and remote sensing). To bring these diverse topics and skills together effectively, we are using a distributed model of teaching. Population genetics, spatial analysis/statistics, and previous experience in Rare all extremely useful but not required. Cross listed with: REWM 5680.
