This page gives a
brief description of the
classes I teach at WIU. More information can be found at http://mvs.wiu.edu/stars.html
and http://www.wiu.edu/biology/courses/ |
| ZOOL 414G (Ichthyology) |
The study of fishes,
concentrating on the fishes of Illinois. Students will learn about fish
anatomy, biology, and ecology. We study all the families of fish found
in Illinois, and students will also learn to identifiy 70+ Illinois
fish species. |
|
| ZOOL 451G (Animal Ecology) |
This course focuses on the relationship of organisms to each
other and to their environment. |
|
| BIOL 452G (Biological
Applications of GIS) |
A course for people wanting to
use Geographic Information Systems to study biological interactions
(this class is more for "ecology types"). We cover basic GIS and GPS,
and we work our way up to more advanced techniques. Each student will
complete their own GIS project and make a poster showing their results.
|
|
| BIOL 501(Biometrics) |
Introductory biological
statistics. Students learn basic statistical technique and theory as
well as how to use SAS for their statistical analysis. |
|
| ZOOL(BOT ) 554 (Limnology) |
Limnology is the study of
freshwater lakes. We discuss the inorganic and organic processes that
drive freshwater lakes, such as temperature stratification, nutrient
cycles, algae productivity, and zooplankton. |
|
| ZOOL 561 (Fish Management) |
In Fish Management we discuss
the theory and techniques used to manipulate fish communities. Students
will learn about sampling techniques, management strategies, aging
techniques, and many other aspects of fish management. Each student
will complete a management plan for a local fish community. |
