Applications of Bioenergetics Models to Research and Management The course illustrates how research and monitoring programs can be designed and integrated with bioenergetic models to address questions related to food web ecology, population regulation, conservation biology, climate change, invasive species, habitat restoration, and others. Bioenergetics modeling provides an effective approach for:
-Determining what factors affect growth
-Quantifying food web interactions
-Examining potential responses to climate change and non-native species
-Estimating carrying capacity
-Quantifying predation mortality
-Examining energetic consequences of alternative life history strategies
-Bio-accumulation of contaminants
-Nutrient recycling (Dave Beauchamp 2011)

Aquatic Food Webs Students should gain an understanding for how environmental and ecological processes influence physiology and behavior of individual organisms which contribute to the structure and function of aquatic food webs in ways that affect water quality and species of interest for society, management, and conservation. This course will examine how temporal-spatial variability in environmental conditions, nutrients, food supply, predation, and competition among species and life stages regulate species in freshwater and marine food webs. Behavior and physiology of individuals will be mechanistically linked to distribution, trophic interactions, and processes relevant to ecosystem-based management. (Dave Beauchamp 2010)

Fisheries Science This course is about the exploitation and management of marine fisheries throughout the world with special emphasis on Hawaii and other Pacific Islands. It combines a study of the fishing techniques and methods, basic biological notions of the main exploited species and the statistics of their landings by volume and value. The concepts of fisheries population dynamics or stock assessment (growth, fishing effort, catchability, mortality, recruitment, and yield) will all be discussed. The course also examines important fisheries of the region (e.g., reef and tuna fisheries…) addressing biological, economic and social concerns and the interplay between them. Lectures will also focus on advanced topics in the ecology of marine ecosystems and the role of fishing in ecosystem function. (Alan Friedlander 2010)

Structured Decision Making for Natural Resource Management This graduate seminar will provide an introduction to the principles and practice of structured decision making and its application in natural resource management.

Fisheries Ecology: Management and Conservation of Marine Resources in a Changing Ocean In order to reliably define the conditions under which fisheries can sustainably operate in the long-term, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the influence of human activities and ocean climate on the ecology of the stocks in question. Climatic variation has been shown to affect behaviour and distribution of marine organisms. Changes in all of our major fish stocks have occurred in recent decades due to trends in ocean climate. Commercial fishing has also altered those which are exploited, at both the inter- and intra-stock levels. Most often, mortality imposed by fishing is considerably higher than that which occurs naturally. In addition, fishing is inherently selective. Accumulating evidence indicates that fishing has influenced the phenotypic and genetic structure, production, sustainability and recovery potential of harvested stocks.

This course will focus on the ecology of exploited marine fish resources, with particular emphasis on the effects that ocean climate and human activities have on the physiology, biology and behaviour of fish populations. (Tim Grabowski 2011)

Marine Ecology Lectures, discussions, and laboratory exercises will be used to provide an interactive introduction to the ecology of the marine environment. Students will learn to apply general ecological concepts to specific marine ecosystems, with an emphasis on those of the North Atlantic. Topics include limitations of the physical environment, primary production, trophic dynamics and interactions, population dynamics and life history theory, and biogeography. Laboratory exercises will expose students to experimental design and analysis with an emphasis on communication with a scientific audience. (Tim Grabowski 2008)

Fish Ecology Lectures and discussions will be used to provide an interactive exploration of the ecology of fishes. Topics include: foraging, reproduction, habitat selection, niche, competition, and the mechanisms controlling fish biodiversity. Instruction includes both the status of a topic and appropriate research designs. The latter materials will be relevant to most animal taxa. (Tim Grabowski 2007)

Fish Physiology Basic fish physiology with an emphasis on the effects of environmental stresses on physiological functions of fish. Lectures focus on how the physiological systems in fishes have evolved in response to the daunting challenges of life in an aquatic environment. A comparative approach examining the different solutions various taxa have developed to meet these challenges is presented. (Tim Grabowski 2006)

Aquatic Toxicology This course will have an emphasis on the types of toxicity testing, the environmental fate of chemicals and the types of assessment needed. This class will emphasize fish toxicity. Students will learn about different types of toxicity testing including acute, early life stage, chronic, freshwater, and seawater. The environmental fate of contaminants involving transport and transformation processes, bioaccumulation, bioavailability, biochemical mechanism, fate modeling will also be discussed. Functional endpoints of ecosystem effects, federal regulation and ecological risk assessments as they relate to toxicological assessments are also emphasized. (Pat Mazik 2010)

Aquatic Ecology and Watershed Science Seminar The purpose of the AEWS seminar is to provide an opportunity for the AEWS community to interact, share emerging research results, get feedback on proposed experimental plans, discuss recent papers of interest to the group, and learn about related research from outside speakers and collaborators. Graduate students in the AEWS concentration are required to take this seminar for credit (1 cr) once during their tenure in the graduate program, ideally in the semester in which they are planning their field research. However, the entire AEWS community and colleagues who are interested in AEWS research are strongly encouraged to join us each semester. (Donna Parrish 2011)

Tropical Biology Course provides an introduction to the ecosystems of the New World tropics. Emphasis will be placed on ecology and natural history of Neotropical vertebrates. Examples of course topics include a survey of Neotropical biomes, origins of tropical biodiversity, animal-plant relationships, and natural resource conservation. (Francisco Vilella 2010)

Conservation Biology Theories and paradigms of conservation biology. Principles of species-level evolutionary and biogeographic processes. Patterns of speciation, and extinction processes. Metapopulation dynamics, community-level processes and mechanisms of isolation and fragmentation. Management tools available to diagnose declines of populations and techniques for remediating losses of biodiversity. (Francisco Vilella 2009)

How to excel in graduate school An overview of some of the important considerations to make getting a graduate degree as painless as possible. This course is designed to provide students with some tools to complete a graduate degree efficiently and in a timely fashion.

The course has an initial focus on time management and requires that students write a research proposal appropriate for submission for National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, an Environmental Protection Agency STAR Graduate Fellowship, or equivalent outlet. The focus on time management will include a limited number of topics focusing on the spectrum of duties and responsibilities of a graduate student and methods to balance those duties and responsibilities. Proposal writing is intensive: two drafts will be produced with peer and instructor review. The third portion of the course explores how science is conducted, the development of the scientific approach, and the philosophy that underlies the enterprise of science. (Bruce Vondracek 2010)
