-
3.00 Credits
An in-depth study of ecology as it relates to microorganisms; abiotic and biotic interactions within microbial populations in macro- and microhabitats; and the role of microorganisms in maintaining steady state conditions in natural ecosystems. Emphasis is placed on how the ecology of microorganisms affects the human condition. Prereq: General microbiology with a grade of “C” (2.0) or higher. Cross-listed with BIOL 5415.
-
3.00 Credits
This advanced ecology course examines the inter-relations of biological (including humans), physical and chemical components of wetlands, streams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs and groundwater. Learning is facilitated through lectures, discussions, student presentations, laboratory and field exercises. Prereq: Introductory ecology (BIOL 3411, 3412 or equivalent) with a grade of “C” (2.0) or higher. Cross-listed with BIOL 5416.
-
3.00 Credits
An in-depth study of biological populations through analysis of geographic distribution patterns in space and time. Emphasis on how biogeography informs studies of evolution and ecology and on applied studies in conservation, sustainability, epidemiology, and disease dynamics. Prereq: One year of general biology with a grade of “C” (2.0) or higher. Cross-listed with BIOL 5425.
-
3.00 Credits
Looks at the fascinating organisms that inhabit the oceans, which represent 99% of the living space of earth. While the focus is on the ecology of marine organisms, taxonomy, physiology and anatomy are also covered. Prereq: One year of general biology with a grade of “C” (2.0) or higher. Cross-listed with BIOL 5450.
-
3.00 Credits
This advanced physiology course explores the physiological evolutionary adaptations of different animals in the context of their environment. Content includes exploration of maintenance of homeostasis via feedback regulation, structure-function relationships, cellular physiology, and the study of organ systems including the nervous, endocrine, respiratory, reproductive and cardiovascular systems. Prereq: Human or animal physiology with a grade of “C” (2.0) or higher. Cross-listed with BIOL 5455.
-
3.00 Credits
Text and literature-based course provides students with background knowledge concerning environmental toxins, the nature and extent of environmental contamination, and toxicant effects on individual organisms and populations. Prereq: Human physiology with grades of “C” (2.0) or higher; organic chemistry and/or biochemistry strongly recommended. Cross-listed with BIOL 5460.
-
4.00 Credits
Deals with the empirical aspects of an ecological study. Students learn sampling techniques that are used in plant and animal ecology. Emphasis is placed on hypothesis testing, data analysis and experimental field designs. Prereq: Introductory ecology (BIOL 3411, 3412 or equivalent) with a grade of “C” (2.0) or higher. Cross-listed with BIOL 5474.
-
3.00 Credits
Studies physiological, cellular and biochemical processes in human diseases, with particular focus on non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and diseases of aging such as osteoporosis and macular degeneration. Prereq: Human physiology with a grade of “C” (2.0) or higher; general cell biology or general microbiology strongly recommended. Cross-listed with BIOL 5475.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the genetic processes underlying evolutionary change in microbial, plant and animal populations. Topics include: sources of variation, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, population genetic structure, natural selection and other evolutionary forces, quantitative genetics and molecular phylogenetics. Emphasis on experimental data. Prereq: One year of general biology and general genetics with grades of “C” (2.0) or higher. Cross-listed with BIOL 5494.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture by faculty and student presentations cover mechanism of hormones and regulation of various cellular processes through second messenger systems. Prereq: General cell biology with a grade of “C” (2.0) or higher; one semester of biochemistry recommended. Cross-listed with BIOL 5550.
