4.00 Credits
Lect and rec. Emphasizes the fundamental evolutionary concepts that provide explanations for the diversification of life on Earth. Specific topics include the evidence for evolution, adaptation by natural selection, speciation, systematics, molecular and genome evolution, and macroevolutionary patterns and processes. Recitations allow students to explore specific topics in more depth and smaller groups. Prereq., EBIO 2070. Credit may not be granted for this course and EBIO 3680 or EPOB 2080 or 2680. Formerly EPOB 2080.
-
3.00 Credits
Presents principles of ecology that relate to the niche, population growth, metapopulations, population interactions (within and between trophiclevels), community structure and development, landscape ecology and species diversity. Prereq., EBIO 2040 or equivalent. Formerly EPOB 3110.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Lect. and field trips. Focuses on the biology of arctic and alpine environments, limiting physical factors (such as geomorphology and climatic history), and human interaction with cold-stressed environments, especially the arctic. Prereqs., EBIO 1210 and 1220, or EPOB 2050 and 2060. Formerly EPOB 3170.
-
1.00 Credits
Examines alpine ecosystems and treeline relative to global change. Weekend (one-day) field trips into the Rocky Mountains, visits to Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and to CU herbarium/plant lab for experiential learning connected to EBIO 3170. Coreq., EBIO 3170. Formerly EPOB 3175. Pass/fail only.
-
3.00 Credits
Lect. Involves study of ecological principles and problems at the biosphere level. Presents a worldwide approach to populations, biotic resources, ecologic interactions, land use, deforestation, desertification, species extinctions, pollution, environmental quality, global change, and environmental ethics. Prereqs., EBIO 1210, 1220, 1230, and 1240, or EPOB 2050 and 2060. Formerly EPOB 3180. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
3.00 Credits
Lect. Examines the biology and ecology of marine ecosystems, emphasizing those occurring in tropical regions such as coral reefs. Studies how these ecosystems are changing and the future impact of human stress on the marine environment. Prereqs., EBIO 1210, 1220, 1230, and 1240, or EPOB 2050 and 2060. Formerly EPOB 3190. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
4.00 Credits
Lect. and lab. Topics include basic concepts and history, methods of study, ethical issues, neurobiology, behavior, the development of behavior, predator-prey relationships, communication, aggression and dominance, mating systems, cognitive ethology, and parental care. When possible, life-history strategies, the evolution of behavior, and behavioral ecology are stressed. Uses animals and animal tissues. Prereqs., EBIO 1210, 1220, 1230, and 1240, or EPOB 2050 and 2060. Formerly EPOB 3240.
-
3.00 Credits
Integrates information from physics (e.g., energetics), chemistry (the behavior of basic elements), and biology (evolutionary traits of species, multiple photosynthetic pathways, etc.) to understand the structure and functioning of ecosystems. Provides the background and necessary information to understand controls on photosynthesis, decomposition, and nutrient cycling across diverse terrestrial and aquatic landscapes. Prereqs., EBIO 1210, 1220, 1230, 1240, and 2040, or EPOB 2050 and 2060, or EBIO 3020. Formerly EPOB 3270.
-
4.00 Credits
Lect. and lab. Surveys distinguishing characteristics of microorganisms based on structural-functional relationships, taxonomy, growth, and physical-chemical agents of control including antibiotics, metabolism, and genetics. Introduces applied microbiology emphasizing infectious diseases, basic concepts of immunology, and microbial ecology. Uses animals and/or animal tissues. Prereqs., EBIO 1210, 1220, 1230, and 1240, or EPOB 2050 and 2060. Formerly EPOB 3400.
-
3.00 Credits
Lect. Surveys major themes in the development of biological theory from ancient times to present, emphasizing complimentary roles of observation, experiment, and technical innovation, and influence of general cultural environment on scientific advance. Prereqs., EBIO 1210, 1220, 1230, and 1240, or EPOB 2050 and 2060. Formerly EPOB 3470.
