Description

The ecology and evolution of living mammals is examined by considering aspects of their evolutionary history, behaviour and ecology, drawing comparisons with other vertebrate groups. Lab exercises expose students to a variety of methods used in research on mammals (e.g., analysis of carnivore diet, acoustic analysis, behavioural research, radio-telemetry). Guest presentations and field trips expose students to opportunities for professional work with mammals and other vertebrates (e.g., work in wildlife biology, zoos, provincial or federal parks).

Requisite courses

BIOL-2403 and either BIOL-2451 or BIOL-2111 (or equivalent) [prerequisite(s)]; BIOL-3112L (lab) (must be taken concurrently).
