This course will explore the rapidly expanding field of conservation ecology and management of the detrimental impact humans have on their biological environment. Basic ecological issues will be considered in context of principles of ecology, population biology and wildlife management--from global, regional, and local perspectives. Laboratory consists of field trips and guest lectures.

This course is an introduction to the mammalian immune system. Lectures include discussion of antibody formation and function, cellular immune responses, allergies, tissue transplantation, cancer and disorders of the immune system. Laboratory experiments complement lecture material while introducing the student to immunological research techniques . Fall semester, even numbered year.

This course will cover the science behind our understanding of the tree-of-life. A focus will be he taxonomic revolution that is sweeping biology and its relationship to conceptual advances in data analysis and advances in DNA technologies. Topics covered will include the nature of species, how relationships between species are estimated based on both morphological and molecular data, what these data reveal about evolutionary relationship, and how the resulting classifications are used as a tools in the present biodiversity crisis. Examples will be taken from all kingdoms of life to illustrate the principles discussed. This course will cover the science behind our understanding of the tree-of-life.
