4.00 Credits
Spring. Prerequisite: Biology 142 and permission of instructor. Emphasizes basic principles of coastal ecology, human impact on coastal ecosystems, and the diversity of invertebrates living in these ecosystems. Students complete the course with a ten-day laboratory/field activity at the end of spring term at St. Simons Island, Georgia.
-
4.00 Credits
(Same as Chemistry 330.) Spring. Prerequisites: Chemistry 171, 172, or 221. The course is designed to put to use what you already know about chemistry and to extend it in two directions. On the one hand, we will examine the world around us as reflected by the media, the web, and encounters in your own lives. Thus, we'll examine issues around natural and unnatural molecules, the environment, disease, and society in the context of topics such as drugs, molecules for Mars, aging, AIDS, bioterrorism, and crime in the courtroom. On the other hand, we will examine these ideas by means of computer graphics, the molecular structure of small molecules and proteins, and energy.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Biology 142. A study of human physiology emphasizing integrated body functions. Topics include respiration, circulation, contractility, osmoregulation, endocrinology, and neurophysiology.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Biology 142. The concept of organic evolution is taken up from the standpoint of its history, factual basis, and scientific importance; the operation of evolution is examined in the light of population genetics and ecology.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Biology 142. A combination of short topical lectures and intensive lab. Computer and field experiments introduce students to experimental approaches used by evolutionary biologists. Areas covered include population genetics, molecular evolution, and evolutionary ecology.
-
4.00 Credits
(Same as ENVS 345.) Prerequisites: Biology 141 or 142 or Environmental Studies 120 or 131 or permission of instructor. This course focuses on the conservation of biodiversity and introduces students to ways that ecological and evolutionary principles can be used to conserve and protect species and ecosystems at risk. Specific topics include the causes and consequences of biodiversity, systematics, and endangered species, the demography and genetics of small populations, invasive species, habitat loss and fragmentation, design of reserves, and restoration ecology.

-
0.00 Credits
(Same as Chemistry 346L.) Spring. Credit, two hours. Prerequisite/co-requisite: Chemistry/Biology 301 or consent of instructor. Experiments involve analysis and characterization of the major classes of biological compounds. One three-hour laboratory and one lecture per week. Additional laboratory training option available for two additional credits.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Biology 142, 336 or 360 and, Chemistry 141 and 142. A survey of current topics in neural development and neural basis of behavior. Emphasis is on research work that uses a combination of physiological, genetic, cellular, and molecular techniques to understand neural systems and their evolution and development.
-
4.00 Credits
(Same as Environmental Studies 349.) Prerequisites: Environmental Studies 120, 131, 132, or Biology 120, 142, or permission of instructor. This course will familiarize students with principles of ecological invasions and methods for assessing the spread and impacts of invasive species on a global scale. Students will also become familiar with major sources of exotic species introductions and methods available for prevention and control.
