This is an upper-level seminar course exploring theoretical, empirical, and applied connections between behavioral ecology and conservation. This emerging field is termed conservation behavior. The primary focus of this course is to help students learn how to critically evaluate the published literature pertaining to conservation behavior, as well as to assist students in honing their analytic, synthetic, and communication skills through class presentations and discussions and by authoring a public-facing article that describes how animal behavior informs solutions to real-world conservation challenges.
