4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: "C" or better grade in BIOL 2107, 2108 . This course examines the flora, fauna, geology and environments of selected Georgia ecosystems. The historical and geological development of th e state? ? major habitats and landforms are exam-ined by way of a series of weekend field trips.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: "C" or better grade in BIOL 2107, 2108 . An investigation of structural and functional relationships in animal tissues. Laboratory includes a study of cells, tissues and organs to understand their structural organization from normal animal specimens.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of prokaryotic and unicellular eukaryotic organisms, emphasizing morphology, physiology, control, identification, symbiotic relationships, and practical applications. Immunology is studied as a response of vertebrates to microbial infection. The laboratory emphasizes basic microbiological methods of culture and identification of microorganisms. The role of microbes in the environment and in medicine is also investigated.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: "C" or better grade in BIOL 2107, 2108 . A survey of representative vertebrates and related chordates emphasizing phylogeny and anatomi-cal adaptations. Evolutionary trends are exam-ined in the context of large-scale environmental changes that have occurred over geological time. Lab component will have students dissecting selected vertebrates organisms and experimen-tally determining the physical forces acting on the evolution of vertebrates.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: "C" or better grade in BIOL 2107, 2108 . Relationships among living organisms and their environments at the individual, population, community and ecosystem level. Laboratory and field activities will emphasize environmental sampling procedures and statistical analysis of sampling data.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 2107, 2108. This course will develop a comprehensive and integrated understanding of physical, chemi-cal and biological processes occurring in lakes, streams and estuaries. The approach will use the scientific method to investigate and contrast basic ecological processes operating in various systems. Students will generate hypotheses from an initial collection of data and from lectures on various limnologic parameters (e.g. light, nutri-ents, productivity, community structure, pollut-ants.) Students will test specific hypotheses by developing and implementing field surveys and experimental manipulations.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: "C" or better grade in BIOL 3370 or permission of instructor . An introduction to major plant and animal taxa found in aquatic ecosystems. Students will develop field and laboratory identification and col-lection skills. Major ecological and biogeographi-cal factors influencing distribution and abundance of aquatic organisms will be examined. A series of three weekend field trips are required.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: "C" or better grade in BIOL 2107/ BIOL 2108 . This course provides students experience in design and execution of studies in aquatic ecol-ogy. Students will obtain hands-on experience with field and lab techniques used in aquatic research, including drainage basin assessments, assessment of lake and stream habitat and water quality, wetlands delineation, sampling techniques for fish and aquatic invertebrates, and techniques used in aquatic toxicology. Field experiences during regularly scheduled class periods are an integral part of the course.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: "C" or better grade in BIOL 2107, 2108 or comparable research methods course. See Biology/Physics Department Chair for approval of other courses . A survey of the major concepts of neurophysiology, ethology and behavioral ecology, including the behavior of social organisms. Laboratory and field activities emphasize a quantitative, hypoth-esis testing approach to observing the behavior of animals.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: "C" or better grade in BIOL 3300 . Principles of evolutionary biology including discussions of natural selection, adaptation, population genetics, speciation, and phylogeny reconstruction. The applications of evolutionary biology to areas such as conservation biology, medicine, and agriculture are discussed.
