To enroll: click here<https://app.applyyourself.com/AYApplicantLogin/fl_ApplicantLogin.asp?id=duke-geml> Marine Mammals is a field-intensive course which covers the biology, management and conservation of marine mammals using a variety of tools including genetic analysis, passive acoustics and photo-identification. At least half of our time is spent in the field or in the laboratory, providing students with an opportunity to learn field and laboratory techniques first-hand. Detailed consideration is given to adaptation, behavior, ecology, and conservation. Laboratory and field exercises address behavior, ecology, and communication of local populations of our bottlenose dolphins and an excursion to see pelagic cetaceans in the Gulf Stream. The course is suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students. BIO 376LA (undergrad)/ENV 776LA (grad) 4 Duke credits. Andrew J. Read Stephen A.
