-
4.00 - 14.00 Credits
Summer. Lect.. 14, Lab 14, 4 credits. General survey of systematics and biology of marine vertebrates (except birds), with emphasis on the major groups of fishes. Prerequisite: BIOL 0120/0121 and permission of instructor.
-
14.40 Credits
Summer on Demand. Lect. 14, Lab 14. 4 credits. General ecological principles and their application to marine ecosystems, including adaptations of marine organisms with regards to feeding, competition, predation, reproduction and dispersal. Prerequisite: BIOL 0120/0121, either 0140/0141 or 0311 or 0353, and permission of instructor.
-
4.00 - 14.00 Credits
Summer. Lect. 14, Lab 14, 4 credits. A general survey of oceanic and near-coastal environments with particular emphasis on the interaction between physical, geological, chemical and biological processes in the ocean. Prerequisite: BIOL 0120/0121, CHEM 0231, PHYS 0301, and permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
1st Semester. Lect. 3, Lab 4, 4 credits. An in-depth study of chromosomes; their chemistry, structure, function, aberrations, and behavior. Emphasis will be placed on the human chromosomal complement. Prerequisite: 16 hours of biology to include BIOL 0309.
-
4.00 - 6.00 Credits
On Demand. Lect. 2, Lab 6, 4 credits. An in-depth presentation of the methodologies of chromosome study. Emphasis will be placed on hands on laboratory experience in (a) culture of cell types used in cytogenetic diagnosis; (b) preparation and recognition of banded chromosomes; (c) recognition of the major types of numerical and structural chromosome abnormalities and (d) photomicrographic principles and techniques including visible and fluorescent light techniques, the interactions of light with film and the preparation of prints from negatives. These topics will be considered in the context of modern cytogenetic studies. Prerequisite: BIOL 0309 and an additional 12 hours in biological sciences.
-
4.00 - 6.00 Credits
2nd Semester. Lect. 2, Lab 6, 4 credits. This course is designed to introduce advanced undergraduates and graduate students to basic recombinant DNA techniques including growth and manipulation of phages and their bacterial hosts; isolation, quantitation, and electrophoretic analysis of DNA; restriction and ligation of DNA cloning in lambda, M13 and plasmid vectors; and site-specific mutagenesis. The focus of the course is hands-on experimentation; however, time will be devoted to discussion of the application of these and other techniques to a variety of research problems. By the end of the course, the student should have a working knowledge of basic recombinant technology, should have an introductory knowledge of more specialized techniques and should be familiar with the terminology and resource literature of genetic engineering. Prerequisite: BIOL 0230/0231, 0250/0251, 0301/0303.
-
4.00 - 14.00 Credits
Summer. Lect. 14, Lab 14, 4 credits. An introduction to the principles of animal behavior as applied to marine organisms, including the evolutionary significance of these behaviors, techniques for observing animal behavior in the field and laboratory, the design of behavioral experiments and methods for analyzing behavioral data. Prerequisite: BIOL 0120/0121 and permission of instructor.
-
4.00 - 14.00 Credits
Alternate Summers. Lect. 14, Lab 14, 4 credits. Functional ecology of birds, especially in relation to the coastal environment, including mechanics of flight, breeding biology, sociality, foraging behavior, migration and field identification. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
1st and 2nd Semesters. 1-3 credits. Special work, such as directed reading, independent study of research, supervised library, laboratory or fieldwork, or presentation of material not available in the formal courses of the department. Upon approval by the faculty advisor and Department Head, a student may register for 1-3 hours credit. The field in which the work is offered will be indicated in the student's record. Prerequisite: Senior oor graduate4 standing.
