There are no pre-requisites for this module to be added

Disciplines covered initially include wildlife population dynamics and wildlife meta-populations. Practical techniques covered in detail then include mammal and bird capture techniques, and sampling design in wildlife population monitoring. We then discuss the foundation of more complex analytical techniques such as information theoretic modelling and maximum likelihood estimation in wildlife studies, and use of generalised linear modelling in wildlife studies.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Illustrate mechanisms by which wildlife populations change.

LO2: Critically assess the concept of wildlife meta-populations.

LO3: Justify how and why species are monitored and/or captured for wildlife population management.

LO4: Critically evaluate the application of information theory, maximum likelihood estimation and generalised linear modelling in studying wildlife populations.
