Welcome to the FORS 8360 Homepage!

This course is designed to help students explore the processes and tools researchers and managers employ to address questions in quantitative conservation biology.  I will emphasize the applied, quantitative aspects to conservation biology including model building, information theoretic approaches to inference, hierarchical modeling, empirical Bayesian statistics, population viability analysis, and probabilistic decision analysis.
