-
3.00 Credits
Staff. Relationship of marine and estuarine organisms to environmental factors; interactions among organisms; ecological processes of energy and material flow; communities and ecosystems of the Gulf Coast. Note: One weekend field trip required although this is not a laboratory-field course.
-
3.00 Credits
Staff. Pre-requisite: EBIO 3040 or approval of instructor. Discussion will focus on applying knowledge from ecology toward understanding how damaged ecosystems differ from relatively undisturbed systems, evaluating ecosystem health and designing plans to restore system integrity.
-
3.00 Credits
Prof. Darwin. Pre-requisite: Approval of instructor. A consideration of biological homology, species definition, problems of character data analysis, and Hennigian cladistics as a means of reconstructing the evolutionary history of life. The implications of phylogenetic hypotheses for biological classification, biogeography, paleontology, comparative ecology, and conservation biology. Seminars, readings, and projects.
-
4.00 Credits
Prof. Parsley. Pre-requisite: EENS 1120/1140, or approval of instructor. Principles of invertebrate paleontology; a systematic treatment of the fossil invertebrates and their living relatives. Emphasis on functional morphology, ontogeny, and paleontology. Note: Lectures are supplemented by weekly labs. (Same as EENS 6090.)
-
3.00 Credits
Staff. Pre-requisite: EENS 6090. The foraminifera, ostracoda, nannofossils, conodonts, and other groups of microfossils. (Same as EENS 6100.)

(Same as EENS 6130.)
-
3.00 Credits
Prof. Karubian. This course addresses the ecological and evolutionary causes and consequences of animal behavior, using both proximat and ultimate approaches. Topics include sociality, mating systems, sexual selection, animal movement, signals, behavior and conservation, and cognition.
-
3.00 Credits
Prof. Darwin. Pre-requisite: EBIO 4310, or approval of instructor. The evolutionary history of land plants, emphasizing their structural homologies and paleobotany.
-
4.00 Credits
Staff. Pre-requisite: Approval of instructor. General study of the classification, structure, function, and ecology of marine and estuarine invertebrates emphasizing field studies on the Louisiana Gulf Coast. Note: Four weeks at a Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium coastal laboratory. Offered: Summers only.
-
4.00 Credits
Prof. Darwin. Pre-requisite: Approval of instructor. A consideration of Charles Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection, including the history of evolutionary thought before Darwin’s time, the circumstances surrounding Darwin’s research, and the effect of Darwin’s ideas on the development of contemporary biology. Readings, discussions, and written assignments. Note: Satisfies the LAS writing requirement.
