Invasive Species Ecology 

Instructor:  Paul Leisnham

Credits: 3

Credit only granted for: ENST403, ENST603, or ENST689R.
We will examine ecological, evolutionary, and anthropogenic processes facilitating or resisting biological invasions, and consider their environmental, economic, and human health impacts. We will consider various management strategies to mitigate invasions and identify areas of future research. Field trips and detailed discussion of recent findings and controversies in the literature will help illustrate fundamental concepts of invasions among various ecosystems.
