Notes on conservation biology
If you'd like to print a copy of any of these notes, I suggest
printing the PDF version, which you can download by clicking on the 
icon. I'd also suggest printing them not long before lecture, because
they're liable to be modified. (I know that there are errors to be
corrected in some of them).

I'm just getting started on setting up the course website. If you click on the Schedule page, you'll see what I mean. I'll have the lecture schedule fleshed out by Monday, including a (tentative) schedule for projects and the like.... Read More
