The application of inferential statistical methods to biological problems. The focus of the course is a systematic method for determining an appropriate statistical technique. Parametric and nonparametric procedures will be covered. Prerequisites: MATH207 and MATH111. (2,2) 3
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
An introduction to forest structure, function, and ecology. Important fundamentals of conservation biology such as the effects of disturbance, fragmentation, and biodiversity on forest ecosystems will be emphasized. Students will master identification of tree and shrub species of the Eastern Upper Peninsula and perform commonly used techniques to evaluate the forest resource. The lab portion of the course is in the field and proper dress is required. In addition, one all-day field trip will be scheduled. Prerequisites: BIOL132 or NSCI103; and EVRN126. (2,4) 4

-
3.00 Credits
This course will provide a strong background in the field of conservation biology. The course will discuss patterns in, valuation of, and threats to biodiversity. The course will also examine tools and strategies for conserving biodiversity at the population and species levels and discuss the application of conservation biology in today's society. Specific topics include: (1) Principles of and issues in conservation; (2) Threats to biodiversity; (3) Methods and approaches to evaluate and mitigate threats; (4) Application of principles in the design of conservation reserves, restorations, and sustainable development. Prerequisites: BIOL131, BIOL132. (3,0) 3
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
A variety of sampling techniques are introduced as they relate to the various disciplines of aquatic science. These methods include sampling and preservation of biotic (plankton, fish, benthic invertebrates, DNA, pathogens) and abiotic (water quality, sediments, climate) data. Prerequistes: BIOL107, CHEM108/109, MATH111 and permission of instructor. Also listed as EVRN289. (2,3) 3
