-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
An investigation-based study of vertebrate and invertebrate behavior from an evolutionary perspective. Topics include proximate behavioral mechanisms (genetic, developmental and neurological) and ultimate consequences (evolution, ecology and sociology). Two 3-hour laboratories per week plus additional required out-of-class hours. Prerequisites: all core courses in biology. Statistics is strongly recommended. Four Credits Winnett-Murray Fall Semester, Alternate Years
-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
The course is an introduction to the identification, structure, life cycle and behavior of insects. Field aspects will be stressed. Two 4-hour lecture/laboratory periods per week. Prerequisites: all core courses in biology. Four Credits Bultman Fall Semester, Even Years
-
6.00 Credits
A concentrated study of a variety of organisms in their natural habitats. Normally requires camping trips as long as two weeks in duration. In addition study projects and/or papers will be expected. May be repeated for a maximum of 6 credits. Prerequisite: all core courses in biology or permission of instructor. One to Four Credits Staff May Term/June Term/July Term
-
3.00 Credits
A special course to allow students to study an area of biology not included in the regular curriculum or an in-depth study of a selected biological topic. Prerequisites: all core courses in biology. One, Two, or Three Credits Staff Both Semesters
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Lecture, laboratory or seminar classes in a special topic of biology. For 2005-06, offerings will include Advanced Topics in Bioinformatics, Microbiology, Population Genetics, and Plant Form and Function. Prerequisites: all core courses in biology. Three to Four Credits Staff
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
A study of special topics concerning the process of evolution and its mechanisms involving both micro and macro evolution. Each year a different special topic is explored. Past examples include evolutionary molecular biology and speciation. Three lectures and one 3-hour laboratory/discussion per week. Prerequisites: all core courses in biology. Four Credits Cronkite Fall Semester
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
The biology of selected invertebrate animals will be studied with emphasis on their functional morphology, ecology and behavior. Laboratory includes field studies with a weekend trip to southern Indiana. Two lectures and two 3-hour laboratories per week. Prerequisites: all core courses in biology. Four Credits Bultman Spring Semester, Odd Years
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Vertebrate examples are used to investigate a broad range of biological topics including evolution, speciation, historical and modern zoogeography, energetics, behavior, ecology and conservation. Laboratory includes both laboratory exercises and field trips that focus on the taxonomy, external morphology, natural history and field identification of local vertebrates. Three lectures and one 3-hour laboratory per week. Additional out-of-class hours are required. Prerequisites: all core courses in biology. Four Credits Winnett-Murray, Murray Fall Semester, Alternate Years
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
An in-depth examination of some aspects of animal physiology such as cardiovascular systems, renal physiology, endocrinology, immunology, or environmental physiology. Three lectures and one 3-hour laboratory per week, or two lectures and two 2-hour laboratories per week. Additional out-of-class hours are required. Not open to students who have taken Biology 221, unless permission is granted by the instructor. Prerequisites: all core courses in biology. Four Credits Barney, Fraley Spring Semester, Odd Years
-
2.00 Credits
This course is designed to give students majoring in biology a chance to do research in an area in which they have a special interest. Students are expected to attend weekly seminars. Requires formal application and permission of the instructor with whom the student will work. Normally Two Credits Staff Both Semesters
