Description: | The wildlife techniques field camp is an off-campus field practicum that exposes students to a variety of field and molecular techniques used in contemporary wildlife research and management and provides opportunities for students to apply these techniques in a field setting | | Oasis Title: | Wildlife Techniques Field Camp | | Nontraditional Format: | This course will be offered during Maymester at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory as an intensive two-week lecture and lab field course. | | Undergraduate Prerequisite: | Permission of department | | Graduate Prerequisite: | Permission of department | Semester Course
Offered: | Offered summer semester every year. | | Grading System: | A-F (Traditional) |
| | Course Objectives: | Students will learn and gain practical experience applying contemporary field techniques used in wildlife research and management. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1) describe and implement common invasive and non-invasive methods of capturing, handling, and sampling wildlife populations;
2) demonstrate knowledge of wildlife sampling procedures, study design, and population monitoring techniques;
3) demonstrate an understanding of how non-invasive tools can be used to address a variety of questions in wildlife ecology and conservation. | | Topical Outline: | Live-capture, handling, and radio-marking wild mammals
Chemical immobilization techniques and application
Red-Cockaded woodpecker management
Non-invasive sampling of carnivores
Ecology and management of wild pigs
Amphibian sampling design
Use of radio-telemetry equipment and analysis of telemetry data to monitor animal movements | |
