    This course is designed to acquaint students with the life history distribution and abundance ecology population structure and dynamics habitat requirements and the management conservation and research priorities of the major mammalian groups found in North America with special emphasis on species in New England. Students will have opportunities to observe and practice standard field and laboratory techniques commonly used by wildlife biologists for the study of animals and their populations and in the management and research of free-ranging wildlife. We will apply ecological principles to develop practical populations. A major focus of this course will therefore explore the relationship between the practices on lands that produce wildlife and how these practices influence wildlife production. Thus the course will include a detailed discussion of techniques used by wildlife managers to manipulate the habitat for desired species and achieve wildlife management goals. We will discuss community interactions including competition predation and herbivory as well as hunting and endangered species management. The course will include lectures guest lectures by wildlife and natural resources professionals discussions field and laboratory exercises and research projects. Field trips required.

  • 3.00 Credits

    Prerequisites: Bio 100. This course provides students with an introduction to winter ecology as an interdiscipline area of study. Students will learn about the adaptations Maine's plants and animals have evolved to endure winter conditions. Specific topics investigated include snowpack physics and chemistry biochemical physiological and behavioral strategies that animals use to survive winter conditions. biochemical and physiological strategies that plants use to survive winter conditions. special concerns for organisms that live under ice. plant-animal interactions. and human adaptations to winter. Students must be prepared to spend time outdoors traveling snowshoes and using research gear. A weekend trip to the UMFK Violette Wilderness Camp is an integral part of the course.
