  • BIO 285: Marine Biology

    4.00 Credits
    University of Maine at Farmington

    This course examines various aspects of the global marine ecosystems and their importance both regionally and globally. It will cover such topics as the oceans productivity, population biology of marine species, and the ecology of special marine communities such as the rocky shore and the coral reef. Students will learn about aquaculture and management practices, as well as effects of over exploitation and the future of the world's oceans. Prerequisite(s): BIO 160 and BIO 170. Every two years.

  • BIO 321: Tropical Island Ecology

    4.00 Credits
    University of Maine at Farmington

    This course provides experiential learning of the biotic and abiotic factors that govern tropical island ecosystems (coral reefs, grass beds, mangroves, dry Antillean scrub and moist mature forests) found on a typical Caribbean tropical island (St. John, USVI). Concepts addressed include: biodiversity, adaptation and co-evolution, and energy flow in these systems. All students will participate in a collaborative research project with island fauna and daily lessons on island ecology. Students will also learn about the cultural history of the West Indies and contemporary human-caused environmental problems associated with island development. Intensive field work includes daily snorkeling and strenuous hiking to field locations. Assessments will include a field journal, pre-and post course examinations covering course text (and ancillary text), on-site lessons, and assigned technical papers, and the submission of a formal technical manuscript describing the results of field research. Prerequisite(s): BIO 160, BIO 170, and permission of instructor. May Term or Winter Term. Every year. Credit: 4

  • BIO 353: Conservation Biology

    4.00 Credits
    University of Maine at Farmington

    Designed to examine the nature and global patterns of biological diversity, the complex factors that have resulted in recent losses in biodiversity and ecosystem decay, the ecological ramifications of this most devastating event in the existence of the human species. Lectures, presentations by professionals in other fields, readings, discussion sessions, student participation in regional conservation efforts, diversity analysis, and ecological modeling of perturbed systems will all be used to encourage critical thinking about biodiversity issues and provide students with hands on applications in the science of conservation. Prerequisite(s): BIO 160 and BIO 170. Every three years. Credit: 4
