Wildlife Survey (Design, Conduct and Interpretation) - GSE856
This unit teaches advanced wildlife survey techniques that are usually difficult to gain experience and training in, building on the methods taught in the previous units. The unit includes hands-on experience in these techniques, including mark and recapture methods (specifically bird banding), radio-tracking, hair and scat analysis, and bat call analysis. Analysis and interpretation of data at a level sophisticated enough to inform wildlife management decisions will be taught. Concepts include capture-mark-recapture, home range analysis and estimating population sizes.
