  • SA 3112: Wildlife Management

    3.00 Credits
    Delaware Valley University

    The process of managing wildlife presents a broad array of problems, from the protection of endangered species to the control or elimination of pests. The objective of the course is to apply major ecological concepts to the practice of wildlife management. In lecture, we will examine how ecological principles can be used to devise viable management strategies. The laboratory will be devoted largely to field methods for studying wildlife and the identification of terrestrial vertebrates. Students will be required to attend outside field trips, complete evening field work, and prepare study specimens of mammalian skins and skulls. Prerequisites: SA 1105 or SA 2110; AE 3125 Principles of Ecology or BY 2108 Ecology; BY 1113/1114 Biology I and II or BY 1116/1117 Biological Science I and II.
