-
1.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate/Graduate Training in embryo manipulation and study of prepared microscopic slides in order to illustrate developmental concepts. Usually offered alternate falls (even years). Prerequisite: BIO-300 and concurrent registration in BIO-550.
-
3.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate/Graduate This course emphasizes four persistent themes in biogeography: classifying geographic regions based on their biota; reconstructing the history of biota; explaining the differences in numbers as well as types of species among geographic areas; and explaining geographic variation in the characteristics of individuals and populations of closely-related species. Usually offered alternate springs. Prerequisite: BIO-110 and BIO-210.
-
3.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate/Graduate Biological, chemical, and physical analysis of freshwater and terrestrial habitats. Students participate in weekend field trips to conduct group projects and learn skills for geographic survey, chemical and physical examinations of habitat quality, field sampling techniques of flora and fauna, taxonomic identification, statistical and data analysis, and presentation of results. Usually offered alternate falls. Prerequisite: BIO-423 and MATH-221 or STAT-202, or graduate standing in biology or environmental science, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate/Graduate The genetic composition of populations and the theory and principles of natural selection. Species formation and differentiation in Darwinian and neo-Darwinian theory. Evolution above the species level and current evolutionary concepts (such as sociobiology and catastrophe theory) are also considered. Usually offered alternate falls (odd years). Prerequisite: BIO-356.
-
3.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate/Graduate The ecology of organisms is made clear in the context of evolution and the study of evolution is greatly enriched by an understanding of the ecological circumstances in which evolution occurs. This course focuses on the interface between the two and the mathematical models involved. Prerequisite: BIO-423 and MATH-221.
-
3.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate/Graduate An in-depth study of gene structure and expression. Concepts are described and illustrated further with examples and discussion of classic and current papers from the scientific literature. Includes DNA, RNA and protein synthesis, regulation of gene expression in procaryotes and eucaryotes, nucleic acid structure, RNA processing, DNA binding proteins and transcription factors, oncogenes, transformation, mutations, DNA repair and recombination. Usually offered every spring. Prerequisite: BIO-356, CHEM-560 is recommended.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate/Graduate Prerequisite: permission of instructor and department chair.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate/Graduate Topics vary by section, may be repeated for credit with different topic.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Course Level: Graduate Topics vary by section, may be repeated for credit with different topic. Current research topics such as nuclear-cytoplasmic interactions, cell surface in development, developmental aspects of carcinogenesis, and gene expression in development. Usually offered every spring. Prerequisite: permission of instructor.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate/Graduate Topics vary by section, may be repeated for credit with different topic. Current research topics such as molecular evolution, biochemical approaches to evolution, mathematical modeling of evolutionary processes, and the interaction of genetics, developmental biology, ecology, and evolutionary biology. Usually offered every spring. Prerequisite: permission of instructor.
