BIOL 36100 - Ecophysiology

Institution:

Ithaca College

Subject:

Biology

Description:

Ecophysiology deals with the function and performance of animals and plants in their environment. This course will integrate ideas from ecology and global change research down to physiology and molecular biology. From this we will gain an understanding of the physiological mechanisms by which organisms confront constraints in the environment. Specifically we will discuss adaptations to extremes in physical, chemical, and biotic environment such as high and low temperature (deserts, artic), moisture (rainforests, wetlands, ocean), light (apline, caves, deep ocean) and nutrients (desert, lakes). We will explore the latest research through readings and analysis of the primary literature. Lecture: three hours. Prerequisites: BIOL27100; and either BIOL21400 or BIOL47300. 3 credits. (S,E)
