Management of Invasive Species and Large Carnivores
A.Y. 2018/2019
Learning objectives
Le specie animali invasive, in genere alloctone, costituiscono una minaccia importante per la biodiversità in tutta Europa. A queste si aggiungono alcune specie autoctone, sia di volatili che di mammiferi, che hanno un impatto negativo sulle colture agricole e sulla zootecnia. Lo scopo di questo corso è dare informazioni sulle interazione tra specie invasive e specie animali di interesse zootecnico, sulle tecniche monitoraggio e di controllo, approfondendo manche gli aspetti igienico- sanitari. Il corso verterà su lezioni teoriche svolte in aula e pratiche direttamente in campo.
