BI 328 - Conservation Biology

This course explores the current status of biodiversity. Key questions include: What concepts, measures, and patterns describe biodiversity? What is the value of biodiversity? How can we maintain, conserve, and restore biodiversity? During lab we will explore how the theoretical frameworks, field, lab, and computational methods can be applied to enable sound conservation and management decision-making.
