3.00 Credits
A survey of modern evolutionary biology, including the evidence that supports the theory of evolution, the natural processes that cause evolution, patterns and mechanisms of speciation, and methods for estimating evolutionary relationships. Offered concurrently with PCB 5675; graduate students will be assigned additional work.
-
3.00 Credits
Physiological mechanisms of various organ systems in the human body. Emphasis on transport mechanisms, renal function, hormones, respiration, cardiac function, muscle physiology, digestion, and immune systems.
-
3.00 Credits
General and comparative animal physiology. Study of complex structures, phenomena, and concepts involved in regulation physiological processes employed by different groups of animals. Material and Supply Fee will be assessed for corresponding lab. Offered concurrently with PCB 5727; graduate students will be assigned additional work.
-
1.00 Credits
General and comparative animal physiology. Complex structures, phenomena, and concepts involved in regulation of a variety of physiological mechanisms. Material and Supply Fee and Equipment Fee will be assessed. Offered concurrently with PCB 5727L; graduate students will be assigned additional work.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is for upper level undergraduate students interested in learning how humans and animals sense their environments and how these senses affect behavior and survival. The information learned in this course is broadly applicable to students interested in species ecology, human and animal health, biomedical science, marine biology, general biological research and psychology. Topics covered will include sensory mechanisms important for human health as well as ecology and survival of diverse marine and terrestrial species. This will be primarily a discussion-based course analyzing classical and current research articles pertaining to discussion topics.
-
1.00 Credits
Seminar topics from a diverse spectrum of current biological research will be presented by a variety of speakers from UWF, national and international academic research instructors and agencies. Offered concurrently with PCB5924 and PCB3930 (Biology Seminar); graduate students will be assigned additional work.
-
3.00 Credits
The basic principles of immunology will be addressed. Immune-mediated disease processes will be discussed. Offered concurrently with PCB 4233; graduate students will be assigned additional work.
-
1.00 Credits
Selected experiments in immunology. Permission is required. Permission granted on the basis of fulfilling prerequisite or co-requisite. Material and supply fee will be assessed. Offered concurrently with PCB 4233L; graduate students will be assigned additional work.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the current understanding of the mechanisms that regulate animal development. Students will learn patterns and mechanisms of animal development, with an emphasis on model organisms such as Drosophila, Xenopus, chick and mouse. A central theme will be development as a phenomenon of differential gene regulation. Developmental mechanisms, especially at a molecular level, will be examined for differences and commonality among organisms, with a special focus on key signaling pathways. Specific topics include formation of early body plan, cell type determination, organogenesis, morphogenesis, stem cells, and issues in human development. Graduate students will be assigned outside reading from the primary literature on current research topics in developmental biology and will be expected to summarize and critique these papers orally and in writing. Students will also write a term paper that clearly, thoroughly and effectively summarizes a current topic in the field of developmental biology.
-
1.00 Credits
The purpose of this course is to give graduate students experience with important techniques used to study developmental biology, to provide hands-on learning opportunities that accompany material learned in the lecture course, and to provide research and scientific communication experience applicable to developmental biology and other biomedical research fields. Upon completion of this course, graduate students will be prepared for continuing graduate studies and/or a professional career with a developmental biology research/lab component.
