3.00 Credits
A survey of the major groups of marine invertebrates emphasizing external anatomy, classification, reproduction, ecological roles, conservation biology and applied aspects. Offered in alternate years. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 164. Four credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
The biology of the most numerous and diverse group of vertebrates occurring in every aquatic environment from intermittent streams, rivers, and lakes to the open oceans and deep oceanic trenches. An exploration of the 400 million years of fish evolutionary adaptations, which have resulted in the development of more than 20,000 species of the most morphologically, physiologically, and behaviorally adapted creatures on earth. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 164. Four credit hours. DANNER
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the ecological and physiological adaptations of plants and animals to the winter environment in central Maine, with an extensive field component. Some overnight trips will be taken. Prerequisite: Biology 164 and permission of the instructor. Three credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
An intensive field-based study of several Costa Rican ecosystems, including cloud forests, lowland tropical rainforests, dry forests, and agricultural environments, emphasizing the physiology and ecology of plants in both wild and agricultural settings. The importance of plants and agriculture for tropical Latin American cultures and the impacts of human activity on native plant communities will also be addressed. Estimated cost in 2009: $2,200. Financial aid available to eligible students. Prerequisite: Biology 164 and permission of the instructor. Three credit hours. STONE, WILSON
-
4.00 Credits
Listed as Environmental Studies 266. Four credit hours. N. CARLSON
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to ecological principles, structure and function of ecosystems, patterns of distribution, energy flow, nutrient cycling, population dynamics, and adaptations of organisms to their physical environment. Application of these principles to current environmental problems. Field trips to sites representative of local terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 131 or 164. Four credit hours. N. WILSON
-
3.00 Credits
Wild animals are hosts to whole communities of macro- and micro-parasites. The patterns of disease dynamics they cause affect which strains or competing species dominate in the ecosystem. Designed to provide students with a sound understanding of the ecology, pathology, host population dynamics, and spatial aspects of fish and wildlife diseases. The laboratory provides an appreciation of the diagnostic and surveillance tools necessary to develop disease surveillance, control, and prevention. Prerequisite: Biology 164. Four credit hours. DANNER
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system from the cellular to the systems level. Topics include the basics of cellular neurophysiology and neuroanatomy, motor and sensory systems, neural networks and mechanisms of patterned neural activity, and mechanisms for learning and memory. Fourth credit hour for laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 164. Three or four credit hours. TILDEN
-
3.00 Credits
A study of mammalian homeostasis and mechanisms of disease. Topics include endocrinology, neurobiology, osmoregulation, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, metabolism, reproduction, and the physiology of exercise. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 164. Four credit hours. TILDEN
-
3.00 Credits
Comparative studies of basic vertebrate anatomical systems and their structural, functional, and evolutionary relationships among the major vertebrate groups. Laboratories emphasize comparisons of anatomical structure across different vertebrate species through dissection. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 164. Four credit hours. BEVIER
