The course content is designed to equip students with the necessary genetic background and skills necessary to pursue and appreciate postgraduate studies and research in conservation molecular genetics. It introduces students to DNA structure and function and how these can be exploited in contemporary molecular biology to address practical wildlife conservation and management issues. It further discusses the principles and applications of conservation genetics, from assessing the genetic health of individuals and whole populations to deciding on species and sub-species divisions. The key genetic analyses currently employed in this type of study will be described and their technical and theoretical limitations discussed, as will their considerable power in assisting key conservation decisions to be made.
COURSE JUSTIFICATION/RATIONALE
To assist student development as environmental scientists and practitioners by advancing their understanding of the population genetic theories and principles used to address contemporary issues of conversation concern, and advancing their ability to effectively communicate these to diverse end-users.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of this course, the student should be able to:
LEARNING OUTCOMES
A doctoral student completing the course is expected to:
Apply conservation related methods and techniques to conservation projects
