Following up on this #wildlife populations thread 1 year later. About to teach the #WildlifePops class for 2nd time.
Last year used the Mills book. Generally, students used it & thought it helpful (results from an anonymous survey).

What I liked about Mills:
- lots of non-game examples
- pop #genetics
- real applications
- problem sets to work in Excel
What I didn't like about Mills was that it made some concepts more difficult to understand than necessary. I found it difficult to parse through at times.

Have been perusing other or additional options including Powell & Gale (2015), Gotelli (2008), and Gibbs et al. (2008).
I am curious...the #population #ecology &/or #wildlife #management folks teaching out there:
what have you used solo or in a set? Feel free to comment!

Curious for opinions from #wildlife #biology folks. Am teaching Wildlife Populations for the 2nd time this Spring and want to adjust labs a bit.
Currently, labs focus on understanding pop growth, CMR & other density estimates, etc. Most are Excel heavy.

Last year, we had two outdoor labs around estimating #squirrel population densities on campus, which students really enjoyed. This year am adding another outdoor lab around using #frog calling indices. (Yes, we shall be going out in the snow!)
