-
3.00 Credits
Reviews current concepts of development. The laboratory investigates classical and recent experiments and encourages individual projects in plant and animal development.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Graduate status Each student will present a seminar related to the current semester’s theme and based on several contemporary publications. Students are responsible for preparing a comprehensive bibliography, an abstract, and evaluations of peers’ seminars. (One semester required; maximum two credits towards MS degree.)
-
4.00 Credits
3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory Prerequisites: Graduate standing or permission of instructor An advanced overview of the structure and function of marine benthic communities from the intertidal zone to the deep sea, focusing on the power of experimental studies in elucidating ecological processes. Students will improve writing skills via preparation of short research proposals, a term paper, and through peer review of other students’ work. Students will also lead discussions of journal articles, and plan, undertake, and present the results of a field biofouling study.
-
3.00 Credits
The methods and research that support models of cell function at the molecular level. This three credit lecture course will present current advanced research methods in molecular biology , those used to study the expression and regulation of genes, and the laboratory research on the macromolecules involved. Students will read and paraphrase current literature in the field of molecular biology. In addition, graduate students will present two typical reviews of current problems in molecular biology, both as written expositions and as interactive lecture presentations to other class members. Pre- and post-presentation interviews with the instructor are also required.

-
4.00 Credits
Statistical concepts for the planning of experiments and the summarization of numerical data. Lectures emphasize probability, testing of hypothesis and the application of different, statistical concepts and problems.See Bio 430
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Graduate standing or permission of instructor Studies of fish phylogeny and classification, physiological problems peculiarly faced by fish, and aspects of fisheries’ hydrography. The laboratory stresses independent work on the structure of fish populations, measurement of physiological parameters, and morphometric analysis.
-
3.00 Credits
An overview of contemporary evolutionary biology with an emphasis on evolutionary processes. A non-introductory study of the interplay in time and space of genetic variety, ecological opportunity, and chance resulting in the evolutionary change in groups of organisms.See BIO 437.
-
1.00 Credits
Computer models of aspects of evolutionary processes will be designed. The models will selectively address problems in such areas as selection and polygenic inheritance, genetic drift, concerted evolution in multi-gene families, differentiation of protein-coding nucleotide sequences, molecular clocks, sex, stochastic processes in macroevolution, and wild animal conservation genetics. A Biology of Populations-level (BIO 211) knowledge of BASIC programming is expected.
-
3.00 Credits
Considers the physiological mechanisms of adaption to the variety of ecological parameters in the marine environment that result in stress in marine animals. The potential effect of environmental perturbations on these physiological adaptations will also be considered. The laboratory encourages independent projects leading to the preparation and presentation of a research paper.
