-
4.00 Credits
Evolutionary history, functional biology, ecology, and conservation of fishes. Weekend field trips required. Prerequisites: BIOL 207 or 208 and CHEM 111; BIOL 325 recommended. Lab/Class fee will be assessed.
-
4.00 Credits
Evolutionary history, morphology, physiology, behavior and ecology of birds. One day-long weekend field trip and several early morning weekday field trips required. Prerequisites: BIOL 202 and BIOL 207 or 208 or consent of the instructor Lab/Class fee will be assessed.
-
4.00 Credits
Evolution, comparative morphology, systematics, and distribution of mammals. Representative life histories are considered. Average of three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: BIOL 207 or 208. Lab/Class fee will be assessed.
-
4.00 Credits
Laboratory and field course in insects. Identification and recognition of the more common families and orders, and a study of their structure, behavior, ecology, economic importance, and control. Average of three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: BIOL 207 or 208 or consent of instructor. Lab/class fee will be assessed.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Embryonic development of animals, including differentiation, morphogenesis, pattern formation, and organogenesis. Emphasis on cellular and molecular mechanisms governing these processes. Average of three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 309 and either BIOL 214 or BIOL 325.
-
4.00 Credits
An advanced physiology course that draws heavily upon knowledge gained in earlier courses to understand the aspects of organismal function unique to mammals. The course attempts to integrate all levels of organismal processes, ranging from molecular phenomena to whole animal function. The laboratories emphasize hands-on learning and experiences with live animals. Minimum of three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 214 or 325, and CHEM 111. CHEM 332 and CHEM 351 recommended. Lab/Class fee will be assessed.
-
4.00 Credits
Systematic survey of the modern reptiles and amphibians. Emphasis is placed on the evolution of morphological and behavioral traits which have enabled the reptiles and amphibians to successfully exploit their individual habitats. Laboratory includes systematic classification, student seminars and field work. Average of three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: BIOL 207 or 208. Lab/Class fee will be assessed.
-
4.00 Credits
Functions, interactions, and regulation of organ systems in animals and their roles in sensory perception and integration, movement, oxygen utilization, energy procurement, temperature regulation, and water metabolism. Prerequisites: BIOL 207 or 208; and BIOL 214 or 325; and CHEM 111.
-
4.00 Credits
Physiological topics discussed at the molecular, cellular, organ, organ system, and whole organism levels. Emphasis on integrating knowledge gained in prerequisite physiology courses and recent discoveries. Laboratory component will emphasize the scientific method, data interpretation, and quantitative skills. Topics may include: osmoregulation, gas exchange, nutrient delivery and use, thermoregulation, locomotion and regulation via the neural and endocrine systems. Not open to those who have successfully completed BIOL 465 or BIOL 469. Prerequisites: BIOL 214 or BIOL 325, CHEM 111 [CHEM 332 and BIOL 207 or BIOL 208 recommended].
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Independent reading in an area selected by the student in consultation with the instructor. May not be applied toward the Biology major or Biology minor, or M.S. degree in biology. May be repeated for a maximum of 3 credits. Prerequisite: a minimum of 10 credits in biology and prior written consent of instructor.
