3.00 Credits
Prof. Chambers. Pre-requisite: EBIO 3040, CHEM 2410 and approval of instructor. An in depth examination of ecosystem structure and function. Emphasis will be placed on processes and how individual organisms affect processes. Human impacts on ecosystem structure and function will be considered.
-
4.00 Credits
Prof. Bart. Ecology of freshwater stream environments, including physical forces influencing water flow, sediment and solute geochemistry, and composition and interactions of stream biota. Class Hours: Lectures supplemented by weekly labs, some day field trips, and one weekend field trip.
-
3.00 Credits
Prof. Richards-Zawacki. This course will teach students how to interpret statistical data in an evolutionary and ecological context. Special emphasis will be placed on understanding the nature of ecological field experiments, and experimental design. In addition, issues regarding how ecological and evolutionary analyses are perceived in the public media will be discussed. We will cover statistical methods for dealing with such problems (regression, correlation, ANOVA, etc.), and also read papers in ecological and evolutionary journals that highlight statistical issues. The class is designed for students who have not had prior experience with statistics.

4.00 Credits
Staff. Pre-requisite: Approval of instructor. Field and laboratory survey of marine animals, particularly those of the Louisiana Gulf Coast, including classification, morphology, physiology, and ecology. Offered: Summers only. Class Hours: Four weeks at a Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium coastal laboratory.
