3.00 Credits
A study of primarily vertebrate animals with emphasis on taxonomic and ecological relationships, and with an introduction to various wildlife management and field study techniques. Laboratory work includes identification and occasional collection and museum preparation. Prerequisites: BIO 207 Credits: 5 Clock Hours - (Lect-Lab): (4-3)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of insect anatomy, physiology, identification, ecology and behavior. Laboratories will emphasize field work and insect family identification. Prerequisites: BIO 207 Credits: 4 Clock Hours - (Lect-Lab): (3-3)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the principles of pollination biology including abiotic and biotic syndromes. Topics will cover primary and secondary attractants of plants, adaptations of pollinators, effect of pollination systems on plant population structure, competition among plant species for pollinators and pollination strategies of agricultural crops. Prerequisites: BIO 206 OR BIO 207 Credits: 4 Clock Hours - (Lect-Lab): (3-3)
-
3.00 Credits
Study of freshwater and marine fishes with emphasis on diversity, adaptations, evolution, ecology and species interrelationships. Laboratory work includes identification of important freshwater and marine species and investigation of behavioral and ecological mechanisms. Prerequisites: BIO 207 Credits: 4 Clock Hours - (Lect-Lab): (3-3)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the relationships among organisms and their environments, at several different levels and scales. Provides an overview of the extremely diverse field of ecology, from the ecology of individual organisms and their adaptations to the environment, to the dynamics of populations and species interactions in ecological communities, and the intricacies of energy flow and nutrient cycling in ecosystems. Prerequisites: (BIO 206 OR BIO 207) AND (MATH 121 OR MATH 201) Credits: 4 Clock Hours - (Lect-Lab): (3-3)
-
3.00 Credits
Examination of basic physiological concepts from the cellular through the systemic level. Topics include energy metabolism and its control, nerve function, movement, cardiovascular physiology, immune response, water regulation and integrative control systems. Prerequisites: (BIO 207 OR BIO 210) AND CHEM 151 Credits: 4 Clock Hours - (Lect-Lab): (3-3)
-
3.00 Credits
The course will examine the zoology (i.e., characteristics, origin, evolution, zoogeography, systematics, ecology, behavior, physiology and conservation) of mammals (Class Mammalia). These topics will be covered by emphasizing both classical (or historical studies) and recent (or contemporary) research. Laboratory work will involve both field identification of mammals from field trips and laboratory work concerning taxonomic and morphological studies. Prerequisites: BIO 207 Credits: 4 Clock Hours - (Lect-Lab): (3-3)
-
3.00 Credits
Students interested in health professions will be provided with background information in specific medical therapies. Members of the local medical community will present information on these selected topics. Prerequisites: BIO 113 Credits: 2 Repeatable: Biology majors may repeat this course at the 230 level and use all 4 credits for the major elective requirements. Biology minors may use only 2 credits of either 230 or 330. Clock Hours - (Lect-Lab): (2-0)
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of the microbial world with emphasis on ecology, physiology and genetics of prokaryotes. Laboratory activities emphasize staining, culturing and biochemical identification techniques as well as experimental exercises with bacteria of medical, economic and agricultural importance. Prerequisites: (BIO 207 OR BIO 210) AND CHEM 250 Credits: 4 Clock Hours - (Lect-Lab): (3-3)
-
3.00 Credits
Ornithology is the study of birds. In this course, we will study a variety of ornithological topics, such as morphology, physiology, ecology, populations, reproduction, behavior, migration, systematics, and evolution. Additionally, we will investigate current and pressing avian conservation issues and policy with a participatory approach. In the laboratories and on field trips, we will concentrate on morphology, flight, adaptations, identification, and systematics. Prerequisites: BIO 207 Credits: 4 Clock Hours - (Lect-Lab): (3-3)
