Description

Wildlife ecology is the scientific discipline of applying ecological principles to the study of wildlife species and their habitats which feeds into conservation and management decisions. In this course, students will be exposed to foundational wildlife ecology principles and primary literature on topics such as food and nutrition, home range and habitat use, dispersal, distribution, species interactions (e.g. population growth, competition, predation, parasites, and pathogens), behavior, and responses to environmental perturbations. Please note: the tuition includes housing but does not cover meals, books, insurance, or travel to and from Nantucket Island.
