-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: consent of the department. A study of the molecular biology of gene expression in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This course will explore details of DNA replication, recombination, mutagenesis, DNA repair, the structure of viral, prokaryotic and eukaryotic genes, and the transcriptional control of gene expression. Selected examples from literature will be discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOS 4334, 4413, and CHEM 1017, 1018. Fundamental physiology as it applies to cells and tissues exposed to near-zero and sub-zero temperatures and to non-physiological solutions and to crystalline and vitrified solutions. Spring semester and even years.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOS 3104 and one of the following: BIOS 4334, BIOS 4353, BIOS 4413, or consent of department. A study of the mechanisms regulating reproductive biology with an emphais on mammalian species. Topics include, but are not limited to endocrine function, male and female reproduction physiology, spermatogenesis, oogenesis, fertilization, implantation, paturition and assisted reproductive techniques.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOS 3354 or equivalent. An examination of physiological mechanisms animals employ to cope with environmental challenges. Mechanisms and their controls will be studied at multiple levels of organization. Topics may include physiological and biochemical responses to energetic, osmotic and thermal stress as they occur in natural and altered environments.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: consent of the department. A review of the principles, practices, and applications of systematics. Topics may include systematic theory, species concepts, speciation, phylogeny reconstruction, principles and practices of classification, conservation units, and historical biogeography. Three hours of lecture and discussion.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: General Ecology and consent of the department. Selected topics in advanced ecology and their application to conservation. Topics may include demography, population declines and disappearances, metapopulations, habitat fragmentation, factors affecting biodiversity, effects of biodiversity on stability and ecosystem function, invasive species, disease ecology, global change, and restoration ecology. Three hours of lecture and discussion.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Consent of department. Not available for credit for students enrolled in the graduate program in Biological Sciences. An exploration of major concepts in modern ecology for middleand high-school science teachers. Each concept is introduced with a lecture/discussion covering its theoretical backgraound and significance, followed by practical exercises that provide the basis for developing grade-appropriate exercises that can be implemented in the classroom. Topics include adaptation to the environment, population dynamics, community ecology, and energy flow in ecosystems.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Consent of department. Not available for credit for students enrolled in the graduate program in Biological Sciences. A course for science teachers designed to develop expertise in entomology and the use of insects for illustrating a range of concepts in biology. Topics covered will include insect structure, function, diversity, ecology, and behavior, and will include practical exercises that can provide the basis for grade-appropriate exercises to be implemented in the classroom.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Offered each semester. By arrangement with the graduate adviser. To be repeated for credit until thesis is accepted. Three hours of laboratory work per credit hour. Section number will correspond with credit to be earned.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Open to students in the thesis program who have only (other than application for degree) the final typing and acceptance by the Graduate School of their thesis or dissertation or to students in a non-thesis program who have only (other than application for degree) to pass the final examination to complete graduation requirements.
