• ECOL 5580: Rangeland Restoration Ecology

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Detailed analysis of various ecosystems unique to western rangelands.

• ECOL 5610: Quant Mod Land Ecol

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Emphasis on quantitative, spatial analysis of landscapes and application of these quantitative tools to making sound management decisions. Work with real data, acquire high-level quantitative skills, develop problem-solving skills, and discuss management application of model results. Analysis will encompass abiotic, biotic (plant and animal), and human use of ecological systems in a spatial context. Cross listed with REWM 5610. Prerequisites: Upper division stats course (e.g., STAT 4015 or STAT 4025) and graduate standing.

• ECOL 5680: Landscape Genetics

  3.00 - 4.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Provides a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary training and international collaboration uniting some of the most active landscape genetics groups in North America and Europe. A key objective of landscape genetics is to study how landscape modification and habitat fragmentation affect organism dispersal and gene flow across the landscape. Meeting this and other landscape genetic objectives requires highly interdisciplinary specialized skills making intensive use of technical population genetic skills and spatial analysis tools (spatial statistics, GIS tools and remote sensing). To bring these diverse topics and skills together effectively, we are using a distributed model of teaching. Population genetics, spatial analysis/statistics, and previous experience in Rare all extremely useful but not required. Cross listed with: REWM 5680.

• ECOL 5775: Forest Ecology

  4.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Integrative study of the structure, function, and ecological diversity of forested ecosystems, and the physical factors that influence this diversity, including emergent properties of energy flow and nutrient cycling. Special emphasis is given to understanding forest disturbances and succession, and implications for impacts of management and sustainability are discussed throughout. Cross listed with RNEW 5775 and BOT 5775. Prerequisite: LIFE 3400.
