| BIOL 815 - Cetacean Biology and Conservation |
|
An examination of the biology and conservation of cetaceans: whales, dolphins, and porpoises.
Topics include physiology, population biology and life history analysis, molecular genetics,
morphology, distributional ecology, and social behavior. Early lectures focus on the biology of
cetaceans and how they are adapted to the marine environment. Later lectures use case studies
to review how biological principles can be applied to the conservation of a wide range of cetacean
species. This course is offered through the Marine Studies Consortium, and is taught at an
off-campus location. Additional course fees apply. Prerequisites: One year of general biology and two upper level biology courses.
