Wildlife biology, 15.0 credits at Grimsö, Department of Ecology, SLU

Wildlife biology, 15.0 credits at Grimsö, Department of Ecology, SLU The Wildlife Biology course supplies students with a solid foundation in ecology and management of Scandinavian wildlife.

The Wildlife Biology course supplies students with a solid foundation in ecology and management of Scandinavian wildlife, including species biology, wildlife damage, management strategies (local and national), the organization of Swedish wildlife administration, research and monitoring methods, and insights into ongoing wildlife research. The main focus of the course is on applied issues but theor

etical aspects of wildlife ecology are also addressed. Methods used in research and management of Scandinavian wildlife (for example telemetry, monitoring and genetics) are explained and practised in the field and in the laboratory. The use of population modelling, monitoring data, effects of uncertainty etc. in forecasting the effects of management decisions are explained within an adaptive management framework. Students also get the opportunity to attend hunting. Wildlife Biology is given by the Department of Ecology at Grimsö Wildlife Research Station and includes lectures, exercises, group and individual projects, field practices, excursions, and literature studies. The course is tightly connected to research and important field techniques used at Grimsö, including the Wildlife Damage Centre. Real-world problems are presented at lectures and exercises led by researcher and field technicians at Grimsö, and staff from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, the County Board Administrations, the Reindeer Husbandry, and the Swedish Association for Hunting and Wildlife Management.
