Description

Conservation Physiology is an interdisciplinary field that uses physiological tools, concepts and knowledge to solve conservation problems. Understanding the physiological mechanisms underlying conservation problems is fundamental to improving ecological models and enhancing conservation success. Within this course, we will investigate physiological tools that allow us insights into the lives of free-living organisms. Topics that may be addressed include thermoregulation, diving physiology, changing diets of wildlife, reproduction for conservation and stress management.
