3.00 Credits
Description: An advanced course which explores current and historical factors which give rise to and threaten biodiversity in ecosystems. This course is rooted in ecology, evolution, and genetics, incorporating information and approaches from population and community ecology, population genetics, biogeography, and systematics. The course will consider the effects of humans on habitats and our species' role in the process of extinction along with our efforts to conserve and protect habitats through establishment of parks, reserves, and other conservation strategies. The course will connect scientific approaches to conservation to a consideration of the social, political, and ethical components of such efforts. Notes: Lab Fee: $10. Offered in spring. Prerequisites: BIOL 203, 204, 205, and 206, OR BIOL 220, 221, 222 or 270, and 223 or 271; BIOL 300; CHEM 105 & 108; MATH 101, 150, or 151 or any MATH course with a MATH 150 or 151 prereq; students must have a min. grade of C- in all of the listed BIOL courses taken in CHEM 105 & 108 OR Graduate Status.
