Courses Taught Fish Population Dynamics, 4 credits. Spring term of odd years since 1998, UF, FAS 6337C - A

graduate-level course addressing quantitative assessment of fish populations. Course instructs students in the analysis of fish populations including growth, mortality, and recruitment parameter estimation. Statistical analyses of data are emphasized along with age-structured fish population models, catch-at-age models, and the use and misuse of these methods for fishery predictions. Modeling is used to make management recommendations using fishery data from Florida and other states in the southeastern U.S.

Ecological Statistics, 3 credits. Fall terms starting 2006, UF, ALS 5932 – A graduate level

course that demonstrates common statistical methods used in ecological field studies. The course includes sections on measures of species richness, diversity, eveness. Experimental design for ecological monitoring programs is emphasized, and data analysis methods including both frequentist (e.g., regression and ANOVA), maximum likelihood, and Bayesian approaches are used. This course is team taught by faculty in the School of Forest Resources and Conservation, and the Statistics departments at UF.

Field Ecology of Aquatic Organisms, 4 credits. Summer term each year since 1998, UF, FAS

5276C - This course is a field-oriented split-level course that investigates the diverse aquatic habitats found in Florida. Students gain an understanding of plant and animal community structure across a range of lakes, rivers and coastal marshes. Extensive field trips are required and encompass about 3/4 of the total class time. Enrollment includes advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students.
