This course is for anyone interested in learning more about the science that takes place in zoos and other institutions. This course is designed to enable participants to apply key principles of biology to the management of animal species. Students will design and research nutrition plans, record and analyze behavioral data, use genetic analyses to answer scientific questions, and other activities that are typical of population management. Students will have access to speakers and zoo personnel via the online platform to hear about how their work benefits species conservation and to learn more about careers in the different zoo fields. This will include animal nutrition, veterinary medicine, zookeeping and curating, genetics, animal training and enrichment, and population management. In addition to the online class meetings, content will also be presented via online platform and independent research will be an expectation of the course. A certificate of completion from All Species Consulting will be available to those who complete all course assignments.
