Plants are usually seen as stationary life forms, quietly supporting environments. But plant communities and populations are far from static. They are constantly being shaped by the world around them.

Explore the relationship between wildlife, habitats, and human impacts. Focus on wildlife management, conservation, and policy topics. At Michigan Tech, our master's in wildlife ecology and ...

In the face of the biodiversity crisis, and alarming data showing a 69% decline in global animal populations since 1970, researchers are banking on a cool solution to help save species from extinction ...

Reproductive science plays a critical role in wildlife conservation, offering innovative tools to counteract pressures such as genetic erosion, habitat ...

Before species go extinct, their populations often shrink and become isolated. Healthy populations tend to have a large gene pool with many genetic variants circulating. But the path to extinction ...

Human activity significantly impacts wildlife and their habitats, threatening biodiversity. At Michigan Tech, our master's in wildlife ecology and conservation addresses these challenges. We monitor ...
