-
1.00 Credits
Staff. Co-requisite: EBIO 1010. Laboratory and field exercises designed to augment the lecture material in EBIO 1010. Class Hours: Three hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
Staff. Basic concepts in animal behavior, emphasizing diversity among animals and their behaviors and the ecological and evolutionary influences on those behaviors. Course will include discussion of how behaviors are studied, physiological mechanisms of behaviors, animal diversity, and how animals communicate, find mates, reproduce, care for their young, defend and feed themselves and move within their environment. Note: Meets the college non-laboratory science requirement. Does not count toward the requirements for a major or minor in ecology and evolutionary biology.
-
3.00 Credits
Prof. Heins. Pre-requisite: none. An introduction to the study of infectious and non-infectious human diseases from an evolutionary perspective.
-
3.00 Credits
Staff. A multidisciplinary introduction for majors and non-majors to the evolution of life on Earth, from its origin through the Pleistocene. The course will focus on the evolution and ecology of organisms in primitive environments, with special attention given to key taxa and events, such as the transition to land, the origin of angiosperms, the rise and fall of dinosaurs, and the origin and early evolution of reptiles, birds, and mammals. Emphasis will be placed on the reconstruction of ancient environments, using modern ecological and evolutionary principles as a guideline to the nature of early biological communities and ecosystems. (Same as EENS 2030.)
-
3.00 Credits
Prof. Sherry. Co-requisite: or Optional: EBIO 2890 (1) Service Learning for a minimum of 40 hours. A consideration of biological diversity and its persistence, threats, human value, conservation efforts, and biological bases. Specific topics include extinction, global change, population viability, habitat loss and degradation, ecosystem management, restoration, agricultural ecosystems, economic and legal considerations, and the human population.
-
3.00 Credits
Prof. Chambers. This course explores the biological basis of environmental issues and the changes occurring at a global scale, divided approximately into halves. The first half will provide a strong foundation in the interactions among biological and physical systems. The second half will be devoted to specific issues including global climate change, atmospheric pollution, community stability, habitat fragmentation, and loss of biodiversity. Changes that have occurred over geological time will be compared with changes in the modern industrial era. Note: Students may receive credit for only one EBIO 1040, 1050, or 2050.
-
3.00 Credits
Staff. This course uses case studies to introduce students to interdisciplinary aspects of environmental issues. Emphasis is placed on environmental topics along the Gulf Coast region; past topics have included wetland loss, mercury contamination, and hypoxia events in Louisiana coastal waters.
-
3.00 Credits
Prof. Caruso. Pre-requisite: EBIO 1010, 1110. A systematic treatment of the organisms and habitat in the marine environment.
-
3.00 Credits
Prof. Zawacki. Pre-requisite: none. Introduction to ecological, evolutionary, and organismal studies of living organisms in the neotropics.
-
3.00 Credits
Staff. This course is offered as part of the Stone Center for Latin American Studies’ Summer in Costa Rica Program. Students may not register on-line for this course; they must register directly with the Stone Center Summer Program office. The course will introduce students to the structure and ecology of tropical forests. Students will be expected to integrate what they learn about the real social and economic causes of deforestation and grass roots efforts to revert it with the social, political, economic and biological logic of world climate change agreements and disagreements.
