  • BIOL 316: Tropical Biology

    3.00 Credits
    St Mary's College of Maryland

    An examination of physical, chemical, and biological characteristics and processes of a range of tropical environments, from terrestrial rainforests and savannas to marine mangrove and reef systems. Lectures and discussions focus on ecological interactions within tropical communities, characteristics unique to tropical ecosystems, identification of tropical biota, and human impacts on tropical habitats. Laboratory exercises prepare students for a project-oriented field experience in the New World tropics during Spring Break. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 271 and consent of instructor. Recommended: BIOL 303, 305 or 463.

  • BIOL 327: Ecology and Diversity of Maryland Plants

    3.00 Credits
    St Mary's College of Maryland

    A course in the ecology and systematics of the mid-Atlantic terrestrial flora. We will study the evolutionary relationships of plant groups, with emphasis on flowering plants, the use of keys, and the preparation and study of herbarium specimens. As we learn about the flora, we will examine how climate, soil, and the biotic environment influence the distribution and abundance of the principal plant types. Lecture, laboratory and field experiences (one or two overnight trips). Prerequisite: BIOL 106.

  • BIOL 337: Population/Community Ecology

    4.00 Credits
    St Mary's College of Maryland

    Ecology is concerned with the relationships between organisms and their environment at three levels of biological hierarchy: the organism, populations of organisms, and communities of populations. Population /community ecology attempts to provide a theoretical framework in which to describe and make predictions about various ecological systems. This course will examine resource use, population growth, migration and dispersal, predator-prey interactions, inter- and intra-specific competition, parasitism, life-history variation, species diversity, and community structure. Laboratory will reflect topics covered in lecture and include several field projects. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisites: BIOL 271, MATH 151.

  • BIOL 359: Photobiology

    3.00 Credits
    St Mary's College of Maryland

    An integrative view of biology using a single environmental factor - light - as the unifying theme. Light is critical to organisms from all the kingdoms of life, and we will examine its effects at ecological, organismic, and cellular levels. We will consider how organisms use light as an energy source and as an information source, how light can damage living organisms, and how it may be used in medicine. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisites: BIOL 106, CHEM 106, or consent of the instructor.
