3.00 - 9.00 Credits
This course will be offered in 3 sections, each which may be taken for 3 hours credit (9 hours total). The first section, Waterfowl Ecology and Management, deals with the ducks and geese of North America, with an emphasis on those common along the Mississippi Flyway. The second section, Big Game Ecology and Management, provides a brief overview of the big game of North America and a more in-depth analysis of those present in Tennessee: white-tailed deer, black bear, wild boar and elk. The third section, Upland Gamebird Ecology and Management, gives students a general exposure to the turkey, quail and grouse of North America and a more in-depth understanding of the ecology and management of those extant in Tennessee: the eastern wild turkey, ruffed grouse and bobwhite quail. The course will provide students with our most up-to-date scientific knowledge of the ecology of those species and with a basic understanding of the tools used by wildlife scientists and managers to maintain healthy populations. Students who successfully complete this course will be able to provide an overview of the range and status of the species of interest at a continental scale; detail the range, life history, behavior and habitat of the species of interest in Tennessee; explain the management history and recovery efforts for the species in Tennessee; understand essential components of habitat management, including establishment of refugia, food plots, native habitat provision, etc; and describe harvest management practices and policy.
-
1.00 Credits
A complete study of white-tailed deer including biology, behavior, management, history, social impacts and damage control. Status of the population in Tennessee, food habits, management scenarios throughout the country will be considered, along with taxonomy of the species throughout its range.
-
3.00 Credits
Involves the study of special interest/political influences on wildlife management techniques and administration. It specifically outlines cases of management decisions in the Southeast involving big game, small game, furbearers and waterfowl.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamentals and general principles of local, state and federal laws and regulations governing natural resources and their management. Principles and practices of interacting with the public. Prereq: Be enrolled in Wildlife Biology or instructor's approval.
-
3.00 Credits
Philosophies, principles and concepts related to practical management of wildlife-human conflicts. Includes basic information on the use of traps, toxicants, repellents, exclusion and other wildlife damage control methods that help resolve damage to property and threats to human health and safety. An integrated management approach is used, considering various techniques along with biological, economic and socio-cultural aspects. Students will weigh these considerations, then use a Wildlife Damage Management Decision Model in formulating management approaches for real-world wildlife conflict situations. Prereq: Junior standing or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Investigative techniques of collecting preserving and utilizing evidence involving violation of wildlife laws. Includes hair and tissue identification, osteology, wound examination, ballistics, cause and time of death, collecting and handling evidence and expert witness in court. Prereq: Wildlife Biology or instructor's approval.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will provide students with an understanding of relationships between wildlife and forest, farmland and wetland habitats. Models and other methods used to quantify wildlife-habitat associations will be examined. Students will explore the concepts of habitat use, selection and preference; the importance of spatial scale; the significance of plant succession and the methods for manipulating habitats to increase, decrease and maintain wildlife populations. Planning, designing and budgeting wildlife management plans from a private and public land perspective are included. Three-hour lecture and one lab. Prereq: Be enrolled in Wildlife Biology or instructor's approval.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Topics in selected areas of wildlife biology. For graduate students in the Master of Science in Agriculture and Natural Resources Systems Management program. Can be used to meet requirements in the MSANR curriculum.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of human needs and developmental processes across the lifecycle. Examination of individual and family well-being using a systems perspective. (Same as CFS 100)
-
3.00 Credits
Surveys the study of women in society. The primary goal is to explore how gender shapes our views and understandings. A further goal is to explain how class, race, ethnicity and age shape the female experience historically and across cultures. The relationship between cultural definitions of feminine behavior and the reality of women's lives, roles in work, the family, the arts, politics and the sciences is examined. (Same as IDST 201)
