-
3.00 Credits
Basic concepts and theories in population biology and genetics as they apply to issues relating to the preservation of biodiversity, such as the genetics of small populations, captive propagation, restoration ecology and the design of nature reserves. Prereq: Graduate standing or permission of instructor. Cross-listed with BIOL 4154.
-
3.00 Credits
Overview of neuroscience, covering the cellular basis of neuronal activity, muscle, sensory structures and the structure and function of the human brain. Prereq: Graduate standing or permission of instructor. Cross-listed with BIOL 4165.
-
3.00 Credits
The proximate and ultimate mechanisms of animal behavior are analyzed using comparative animal examples from the scientific literature. Proximate mechanisms include genetic and physiological processes. Ultimate mechanisms include the role of natural and sexual selection in the evolution of behavior. Prereq: One year of general biology with a grade of “C” (2.0) or higher. Genetics and human physiology are recommended. Cross-listed with BIOL 4250.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, lab and field trips. Extensive introduction to the basic principles and concepts of vascular plant systematics. Topics include principles of taxonomy, nomenclature, methods, systems of classification and field and herbarium procedures. Emphasis on plant structure and identification using fresh, frozen and pressed plant specimens. Prereq: Graduate standing or permission of instructor. Cross-listed with BIOL 4315.
-
3.00 Credits
Surveys the diverse assemblage of green algae and land plants. Ecological and evolutionary principles are used to interpret patterns of form and function within the context of their phylogeny as revealed from molecular systematics. Prereq: Graduate standing or permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, lab and field trips. An in-depth study of flowering plants, including embryology, structure, function, reproduction, ecology and evolution of the group. Emphasis is placed upon morphology and anatomy at all stages of plant development. Prereq: Graduate standing or permission of instructor. Cross-listed with BIOL 4335.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, lab and field trips. Introduces the vascular plant flora of Colorado, including ferns, gymnosperms and flowering plants. Emphasis on field identification of species representing a range of natural communities from grassland to alpine tundra, as well as non-natives. Field and herbarium techniques covered. Prereq: Graduate standing or permission of instructor. Cross-listed with BIOL 4345.
-
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: Graduate standing or permission of instructor. Cross-listed with BIOL 4415.
-
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: Graduate standing or permission of instructor. Cross-listed with BIOL 4416.
-
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 4425.
