Document Summary
Emphasis on lecture notes but there will be a few questions from the readings. Types of questions: multiple choice, fill in the blanks for specific terms, true or false, long answer (write everything you know about the topic) Based only on lecture material (nothing from the textbook) Conservation biology is a relatively new field of biology exciting because its still growing and its trendy, but the problem is that its an immature field (there are trends not well supported by facts) Conservation biology takes a multidisciplinary approach in order to address and solve problems related to the preservation of biodiversity. Conservation biology combines elements of ecology, evolutionary biology, systematics, taxonomy, genetics, biogeography, etc: it is a hybrid field that borrowed from other fields to create its own field that deals with saving animals. Key goal of conservation biology is the preservation of biodiversity.
