  • BIO 455: Marine Ecology

    3.00 Credits
    University of Mobile

    Marine Ecology is an advanced course open to juniors, seniors, and graduate students. Students will study marine organisms as they interact with each other and their environment, and examine theories and the experiential basis of our current knowledge. The laboratory will consist of field trips to a wide variety of marine habitats, and field problems which will be examined by small groups of students. Lecture and laboratory consists of studies of factors influencing population dynamics, community structure, and energy flow in marine ecosystems. Habitats selected for emphasis include coral reefs, kelp forests, seagrass meadows, the rocky intertidal and deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Prerequisites: BIO 111, 112; MAR 340; recommended. Cross-listed as MAR 455. Credit, four hours.

  • BIO 456: Marsh Ecology

    3.00 Credits
    University of Mobile

    Marsh ecology is the study of the floral and faunal elements of various coastal and near coastal marsh communities and their intereaction with the environment. The course will focus upon the main indicators of marsh wetlands (vegetation, soil, and hydrology), how they interact to form functional wetlands, and how these wetlands are linked to the estuaries and the seas beyond. The course is structured to provide abundant hands-on field experience in methods used to study wetland structure, function, and dynamics. Attention will be given to identification of indicators for the delineation of jurisdictional wetlands according to current federal guidelines. Participation in overnight field trips is part of this course. Prerequisites: BIO 111, 112; MAR 340, 455 recommended; EN 101, 102. Cross-listed as MAR 456. (WI) Credit, four hours.

  • BIO 457: Marine Behavioral Ecology

    3.00 Credits
    University of Mobile

    The course examines how animal behavior is influenced by and interacts with its environment, and the ecological and evolutionary significance of these behaviors in a marine setting. Students will learn principles of behavioral ecology as they relate to marine animals, become familiar with techniques for observing animal behavior and conducting behavioral experiments, and be introduced to methods for collecting and analyzing behavioral data. The course will consist of lectures, laboratory exercises and experiments, and overnight field trips designed to provide students with the background to pursue additional studies in marine animal behavior. Prerequisites: BIO 111, 112; MAR 340; recommended. Cross-listed as MAR 457. Credit, four hours.

  • BIO 458: Marine Conservation Biology

    3.00 Credits
    University of Mobile

    The intent of this course is to develop the students' understanding of conservation biology by building upon the foundations provided in the introductory marine ecology class. The instructor will provide an introductory lecture designed to present: 1) the historical perspective for the assigned readings, and 2) a brief review of the basic ecological concepts covered in the assigned readings. In addition, field trips will round out the students' understanding of how current conservation principles are applied in the marine realm. Assigned readings will be selected to cover the widest possible range of topics in marine conservation. In some cases, readings will come from disciplines outside of the marine sciences. Students will be required to develop a topical term paper and give a short presentation to the class on their chosen topics. Prerequisites: BIO 111, 112; MAR 340, BIO 320 or 455; EN 101, 102. Cross-listed as MAR 458. (WI ) Credit, four hours.
