  • SWES 571: Stream Ecology

    3.00 Credits
    University of Arizona

    Description: This course will examine the structure and function of stream ecosystems with emphasis on the interaction of physical and biotic elements of streams in arid regions. We will examine the role of natural and anthropogenic stressors in shaping aquatic assemblages in streams. Quantification of impairment of stream structure and function requires a thorough understanding of fundamental ecological concepts of natural streams; this will be a major focus. Also, students will learn to use current methods to assess stream condition and signs of impairment. Graduate-level requirements include additional essay questions on exams and graduate student must meet with the instructors to discuss selected research articles. Presentations will be longer than undergraduates. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Identical to: WFSC 571. May be convened with: SWES 471. Usually offered: Spring.

  • SWES 595F: Conservation Biology:Field Studies in Developing Countries

    3.00 - 6.00 Credits
    University of Arizona

    Description: Many of the worlds biological ?ot spots , as well as some of the most critically threatened ecosystems are in developing nations and are in the greatest need for biological research. In this course, students will be able to step out of the classroom and into the real world to experience first hand the critical role that field biologists play in conservation. Students will be introduced to novel ecosystems and exposed to conservation issues faced by developing nations. Students will use the local environment as a laboratory to learn field research techniques and methodology. For students interested in the biological sciences, conducting field research ?n situ is invaluable in their professional development. The opportunity to visit a foreign country and be exposed to a different culture and environment can be a life changing experience. The objective of this course is to provide that experience in the context of biological research and the development of conservation professionals. Grading: Regular or alternative grades can be awarded for this course: A B C D E or S P C D E. May be repeated: for credit 2 times (maximum 3 enrollments). Identical to: RNR 595F; RNR is home department. May be convened with: SWES 495F. Usually offered: Summer.
