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. -- Course Website
