-
4.00 Credits
Seminar, three hours. Content and instructor will vary from quarter to quarter. Possible topics include quantitative genetics, experimental methods of evolutionary studies, mathematical modeling in evolutionary studies, and the evolution of genetic systems. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Seminar, three hours. Content and instructor will vary from year to year. Possible topics include coevolution, sex-ratio evolution, evolution senescence, plant population biology, and density-dependent selection. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Weekly discussion of current topics in plant population biology and ecology. Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory only. May be repeated for credit as topics vary.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture, three hours. Applications of general linear models using SAS software. Topics include: theory of general linear models, multiple regression, multivariate analysis, and random effects in mixed models. Sample data come from ecology and evolution and are analyzed using SAS. Prerequisite: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology 207 or consent of instructor. Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory only.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, two hours; field work, one hour. An investigation of the mechanisms that underlie responses of organisms to human-caused environmental changes. Activities include field trips, literature discussions, and lectures. Focuses on issues of interest in Southern California, including nitrogen deposition, invasions, and habitat fragmentation. Same as Earth System Science 260.
-
2.00 Credits
Devoted to the application of basic ecological principles to the understanding and resolution of environmental problems of both local and global natures. Current problems approached through a combination of readings, group discussions, and visiting speakers. Prerequisite: graduate standing or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture two hours. Brains obviously differ between different species, yet many commonalities exist. Surveys species similarities and differences in brain organization, then extracts some general principles of how brains evolve. Emphasis placed on vertebrate brains and on the functional implications of neuroanatomical change. Concurrent with Biological Sciences N117. Same as Neurobiology and Behavior 243.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, three hours. Explore the dynamics of populations on an ecological, epidemiological, and medical level. Considers the dynamics of competition, predation, and parasitism; the spread and control of infectious diseases; and the in vivo dynamics of viral infections and the immune system. Prerequisite: graduate standing. Concurrent with Biological Sciences E151.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture and computer lab, four hours. Function and organization of genomes analyzed from an evolutionary perspective. Review of some of the most recent experimental approaches in genome analysis and comparative genomics. Relevant software to analyze DNA and expression data is used. Concurrent with Biological Sciences E153.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, three hours. A thorough introduction to the biology of birds, covering topics ranging from avian anatomy and physiology to behavior, natural history, ecology, genetics, evolution, systematics, and conservation. Examples from both local and global avifauna. Concurrent with Biological Sciences E160.
