Over 8 classes we will learn about mammal evolution, structure, function, diversity, ecology, behavior, and conservation. Course participants will also gain hands-on experience identifying mammals via track and sign and in field methods used for surveying and researching mammals. Mammals native to Wisconsin and North America will be our primary focus, but efforts will be made to cover mammals popular in zoos, as well as interesting mammals from around the world. While humans are classified as mammals they will not be covered as part of this course. This course has no prerequisites but some prior knowledge of biology, ecology, and/or evolutionary biology may be beneficial.
Class time will be split between a lecture portion (~1 hour) and a “lab” portion (~1 hour). Lab will allow course participants to explore specimens, introduce them to field equipment, and practice identifying mammals. Live mammals will not be handled as part of this course
Dates: Tuesdays, September 24 - November 19, 2024 (No class November 5)
