Overview
This course will give you a solid background in conservation biology theory and in the transfer of theory to practical methods for applied conservation studies. The course focuses on the population level and combines theory with exercises on data from conservation studies. After finishing the course you will have knowledge that is necessary for both research and applied work in conservation biology. The course focuses on the problems of small populations and combines demographic and genetic aspects. We work with quantitative methods to analyse the dynamics of structured and non-structured populations and conduct a variety of population viability analyses. We also work with conservation genetic models. Teaching is in the form of lectures, computer exercises using R and Excel, seminars and excursions. An individual project work is a core part of the course. The use of quantitative analyses and models is central to this course.
