FW370 – Design of Fishery and Wildlife Projects

Students will learn how scientific research contributes to solutions of major issues in fishery and wildlife management by designing projects and preparing research proposals. In additions to gaining experience in reviewing primary literature dealing with the concepts used in planning and conducting scientific investigations, students will explore selected case studies to illustrate how general ecological concepts apply to understanding the relationships between individual organisms and populations with their environment. We will review the statistical analysis of ecological data, graphical presentation of data, and drawing reliable inference form data analyses.
