  • BI 2033: Marine Biology

    3.00 Credits
    Unity College

    Marine Biology is the study of life in the sea. Text materials in the course emphasize the nature of the ocean environment, the origin and development of life in the sea, principles of productivity, benthic and pelagic life forms, and food from the sea. Laboratories offer a comprehensive introduction to marine ecosystems and ecological relationships. Groups covered include plankton, algae and seaweeds, invertebrates, fishes, seabirds, and marine mammals. Field trips to rock shores, salt marshes, and other coastal sites are included. One weekend field trip will be scheduled. Credits: 3 Offered Semester I Prerequisites: BI 1024

  • BI 2043: Dendrology

    3.00 Credits
    Unity College

    Dendrology is the study of woody plants. This course introduces the identification, nomenclature, and ecology of woody plants of New England. Students will become proficient at identifying native trees and shrubs by learning the use of a key and by learning field recognition characteristics of the plants.

  • BI 2053: Systematic Botany

    3.00 Credits
    Unity College

    This course emphasizes vascular plants and includes classification and nomenclature principles, evolutionary principles and processes as they relate to systematics (speciation mechanisms, fossil record, etc.), a survey of plant families and geographic distribution. In lab, students will learn family recognition and practice species identification through use of keys. A herbarium collection will be required of each student.

  • BI 2063: Agroecology

    3.00 Credits
    Unity College

    All agricultural systems are ecosystems, and their management is fundamentally an ecological activity. This course will introduce students to the science of ecology as applied to agricultural systems, and train students to use ecological concepts as guiding principles in designing and managing agricultural systems. The course will have both lecture and laboratory components. Credits: 3 Offered Semester I Prerequisite: None Alternate years odd

  • BI 2303: Cell Biology

    3.00 Credits
    Unity College

    This course investigates the structure and function of eukaryotic cells. We will emphasize the structure and function of cellular components including cell walls, cell membranes, cell junctions, chloroplasts, mitochondria, nuclei, cellular matrix and the cytoskeleton. We will also investigate methods of cellular metabolism, reproduction and the origins of life. Credits: 3 Offered Semester I Prerequisites: BI 1024

  • BI 3003: Research Methods and Design

    3.00 Credits
    Unity College

    This course is an introduction to research methods in the sciences. Its goals are to improve your ability to evaluate research conducted and reported by others and to provide you with the basic skills needed to design, conduct and analyze your own research project. Literature search, review and critique, logic of studying comparatively, development of hypotheses, experimental and non-experimental design, data development and analysis, presentation of results, and manuscript preparation will be addressed. Senior Thesis I students will complete a project proposal. Credits: 3 Offered Semester II Prerequisites: Junior status, MA 2243

  • BI 3133: Environmental Plant Physiology

    3.00 Credits
    Unity College

    Plant physiology examines the processes of growth, development, and reproduction in vascular plants, asking "How do plants work?" and "How do plants fit into their environments?" Viewing physiology from the whole-plant (as opposed to cellular) level, the course will cover basic physiology, anatomy as it relates to physiology, and will emphasize the plan t's relation to its environment throughout. Topics will include carbon balance (photosynthesis and respiration), water relations, mineral nutrition, growth and reproductive processes, plus responses to environmental stress or pollution. The labs will include experiments on photosynthesis, respiration, germination, and hormonal responses, and observation of plant growth under different environmental conditioCredits: 3 Offered Semester II Prerequisites: BI 1024, CH 1104, or consent

  • BI 3184: Freshwater Ecology/Limnology

    4.00 Credits
    Unity College

    Freshwater ecology/limnology entails the study of aquatic organisms in relation to the environmental conditions of lakes and streams. Lotic and lentic waters will be characterizedand contrasted. The physical, chemical, and biotic components of these systems will be dealt with in detail in the lectures. Laboratory exercises will be oriented toward the identification of the biota and water chemistry. Credits: 4 Offered Semester I Prerequisites: BI 1024 and either BI 2004 or GL 2003
