Prerequisite: Approval of instructor based on personal interview. Main interview topics are presented in syllabus and may be obtained prior to interview. This course includes a study-abroad component of nearly two weeks. Students study with Mexican university students and are taught an "immersion" tropical field zoology course by the faculty of the Centro de InvestigacionesBiológicas of the Universidad Autónoma del Estado del Morelos and United States faculty from participatinginstitutions. Field sampling and identification techniques for birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and mammals are the focus. Murray State College is the charter U.S. institution in this collaborative program. Students meet on campus throughout the semester both before and after the trip abroad. Internet use is required. Required books and readings and in-class discussions address some of the great diversity of Mexican cultural, political and socioeconomic conditions. A major objective of this course for both Murray State College and UAEM is to promote greater tolerance, understanding and appreciation of our two countries by our students. This course counts as either a science elective or general education humanities elective. Field study abroad component consists of 12-14 days. "Immersion" studyhours with UAEM are approximately 50 hours of the days abroad. One lecture/discussion hour is scheduled per week on campus. Credit: Three semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BOT 1114 or ZOO 1114. This course is presented from a conservation ecology perspective. The history and importance of the conservation movement is reviewed, and important conservation agencies and organizations are presented. Coverage of fundamental concepts of wildlife management are integrated in units on the structure and function of a wide range of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Special problems such as endangered species preservation, genetic diversity conservation, predator management, designing wildlife preserves, and affects of chemical pollution are also addressed. Three lecture hours a week plus required field trips. Credit: Three semester hours.
