  • ZOO 5405: Winter Ecology-Yellowstone

    2.00 Credits
    University of Wyoming

    Winter Ecology emphasizes the effects of winter abiotic conditions on organisms and organismal adaptations.

  • ZOO 5415: Behavioral Ecology

    3.00 Credits
    University of Wyoming

    Behavioral ecology applies empirical and theoretical approaches to ecological and evolutionary underpinnings for behaviors ranging from fraging and predation to social grouping and mating systems. Emphasizes comparatiave analyses (what phylogenetic patters exist across diverse species?) as well as geneti/fitness benefits (how do invididuals benefit from apparently puzzling behaviours?). Prerequisites: ZOO 3600 or 3400 or permission of the instructor for undergraduates. None for graduate students. (Normally offered fall semester of odd-numbered years).

  • ZOO 5420: Ecological Inquiry

    3.00 Credits
    University of Wyoming

    Addresses basic ecological concepts and natural resource management issues in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). Emphasis will be placed on developing critical thinking skills and exploring the effects of resource management policy and actions. Course direction will involve moving from a known facts way of thinking in to realm of evaluating effects of human management of the GYE. Prerequisites: LIFE 2022, 3400, and graduate standing.
