| 2 hours Behavioral Landscape Ecology Section BLE: Behavioral Landscape Ecology This course will explore interactions between the behavioral ecology of animals and landscape heterogeneity. Topics will include movement behavior, search strategies, perceptual range, functional landscape connectivity, conspecific attraction, habitat imprinting, environmental autocorrelation, and scale-dependent habitat selection. | ||||||

| 3 hours Indigenous Ecologies 'Indigenous Ecologies'. This section is for 3 credit hours, and Graduate Students should also enroll in CRN 49217 in order to receive full credit for the work that will be required of them. This interdisciplinary seminar explores the relationship between human experience and natural environment in native North America. Assigned readings survey historical and contemporary case studies in New World ethnoecology, including noteworthy examples of adaptation in the context of settler colonialism and in response to the dominant paradigm of scientific ecology. Class discussions are supplemented by audiovisual materials, guest speakers, and relevant campus events. Students have the opportunity to gain a basic understanding of ecological traditions among American Indians; to conduct a research project focusing on a particular theme, issue, region, or community; and to develop their critical skills for use in academic, professional, and personal settings. | ||||||

| 3 hours Modeling Communities Modeling Communities is a graduate course focusing on applying modeling techniques to analyze community relationships. Modeling can be useful as the last step in a grounded analysis or the first step in a quantitative analysis prior to starting statistical analysis. As such, modeling can be viewed as a method for precisely describing the relationships under study. Tools include discrete and continuous modeling, graphs, matrices, equations, networking, chaos and game theory. The class will involve modeling classic papers in community theory, including papers by community theorists, such as Warren, Wilkinson, Goldschmidt, and Bauman. Students will be expected to develop and present a model of community associated with research interests during the course of the semester. | ||||||
