  • BY 307: Vertebrate Zoology

    4.00 Credits
    Stetson University

    The classification, evolution, diversity, structure and function, and behavior and ecology of the vertebrates are compared with particular focus on adaptations of specific members of each of the vertebrate classes to their environmental needs. The laboratory component includes field trips to representative central Florida habitats to observe vertebrates in their natural habitats, as well as a student-chosen independent research project on any aspect of vertebrate biology. Prerequisites: BY101, 102.

  • BY 310: Ornithology

    4.00 Credits
    Stetson University

    This course includes broad coverage of the biology of birds, including topics such as evolution and classification, anatomy and physiology, flight and aerodynamics, and selected aspects of behavior and ecology. Laboratories are spent in the field learning Florida birds and how they cope with their environment. Bird skins may be prepared from salvaged bird carcasses. No prerequisites.

  • BY 314: Immunology and Hematology

    4.00 Credits
    Stetson University

    Study of defense systems of mammals and birds, particularly inducible systems leading to antibody formation and study of the components of blood and how they are measured. In the laboratory, students perform assays of blood components and do serological tests, including inducing an immune response in experimental animals. Prerequisites: BY101, 102 and 301.

  • BY 316: Animal Behavior

    4.00 Credits
    Stetson University

    Topics covered include classic approaches to the study of behavior, the underlying neural and physiological processes of behavior, and the evolution and ecology of behavior. To appreciate the concepts discussed in lecture, during laboratories student groups design experiments to investigate specific aspects of behaviors like aggression in Betta fish, color change in lizards and learning in fish and mammals.

  • BY 320: Cell Biology

    4.00 Credits
    Stetson University

    An in-depth course on cellular structure and function. Focus will be primarily on eukaryotic cells, but prokaryotic examples will also be used to demonstrate historical pathways of discovery, and similarities and divergence. A strong component of molecular biology is included to elucidate experiments designed to better understand cellular components and structural interactions, nuclear control of cell function, synthesis and metabolism of the cell, and cell interactions with other cells and the local environment Prerequisites: BY101, 102.
