    This course explores the ecology of marine organisms found in diverse Atlantic habitats, ranging from the rocky intertidal of New England to the coral reefs of Bermuda. The course includes lectures, field research, and a one-week trip to the Bermuda Biological Station for Research during semester break. Students must pay a fee (approximately $1700) for the cost of lodging, meals and airfare to Bermuda. Prerequisite:    BIOL 101 or BIOL 103, and BIOL 102. Recommended: BIOL 114 or BIOL 216.

  • BIOL 306: Advanced Biostatistics

    1.00 Credits
    Clark University

    Type of course: lecture During Advanced Biostatistics, students will build on the basic statistical skills they gained in Quantitative Methods and learn to apply more advanced techniques to real data. Students will also learn to read biostatistical literature, which will build their ability to learn other statistical techniques on their own. Students will learn a variety of techniques that are frequently used by Biology Faculty at Clark University, and so will enhance the skills students have to effectively do research in the department. Students will learn to do these statistics in the statistical computing language R, which has become the standard in the sciences for conducting complex statistical analysis. Students will get the opportunity to analyze data generated in Clark Biology laboratories to reinforce their learning and get valuable hands-on experience doing statistics.

  • BIOL 315: Ecology of Infectious Disease

    1.00 Credits
    Clark University

    Explores the relationship between infectious disease agents and their hosts and how that interaction can effect changes in the abundance of host and pathogen populations. Factors that contribute to the occurrence and persistence of epidemics, the evolution of virulence and transmission and strategies for controlling epidemics will be considered using theoretical approaches and case studies of diseases affecting humans and other hosts. A wide spectrum of human diseases will be considered, including human pathogens of recent concern (examples include HIV, Lyme Disease, West Nile Virus) and of historic and continuing importance (e.g., schistosomiasis, bubonic plague, malaria, smallpox, yellow fever). Prerequisite:    BIOL 216 or BIOL 220, or by permission.

  • BIOL 318: Genetics and Disease

    1.00 Credits
    Clark University

    This course focuses on the genetic basis of human disease. Many important disorders are primarily of genetic origin, whereas others reflect the complex interplay between our genes and the environment. The Human Genome Project has provided a wide range of new tools that allow us to understand the genetic underpinnings of both kinds of disease. The course is of mixed format, with both lecture and discussion of primary literature; students will also pick a human disorder/disease and present a literature review of it in the form of an essay, poster and oral presentation. Prerequisite:    BIOL 118.

  • BIOL 339: Evolutionary Developmental Biology

    1.00 Credits
    Clark University

    Type of course: seminar Biology 339 is an upper level seminar in evolutionary developmental biology, or “evo-devo”. Evo-devo is a major, emerging field that integrates organismal evolutionary biology with molecular embryology, genetics, and genomics. The goal of this course is to understand how changes in developmental processes have given rise to the incredible biological diversity seen in nature. We will primarily focus on the evolution of metazoan, or animal, development, but we will also discuss evolution of non-metazoan organismal development. This course emphasizes analysis and discussion of primary literature dealing with phenomena and questions that interest evolutionary developmental biologists, including (but not limited to): 1) How embryonic development arose and evolved in the transition to multicellularity, 2) The role evolution of developmental processes plays in the evolutionary modification of existing features and the origin of novel structures, 3) Phenotypic plasticity and the linkage between genotype and phenotype, and 4) Interactions between developmental processes and environmental influences.

  • BIOL 358: Small Scale Land Conservation in Massachusetts

    1.00 Credits
    Clark University

    This course is designed to introduce students to the conceptual, ecological, and practical issues relating to small-scale land conservation. Study sites will be within the north-central Massachusetts region. Lectures given by the professor and local Massachusetts conservation experts will be supplemented by numerous on-site training activities. Students will learn: what ecological attributes of specific sites motive small-scale conservation effords; how various groups work together to maximize the conservation potential of small tracks of land; how land-owners and acquiring entities come to an agreement on a specific conservation document; and what ecological monitoring and other similar continuing effords (e.g., control of invasive species) are involved. Although the course will focus on the Conservation Restriction as a conservation tool, other conservation vehicles will be explored. Participating Massachusetts entities will include: The Trustees of Reservations; the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissioners; the North Quabbin Land Trust; and Central Massachusetts service foresters working with the Department of Conservation & Recreation.

  • CHEM 050: Forensic Science

    1.00 Credits
    Clark University

    is the application of science to the collection, examination, evaluation, and interpretation of evidence. This course will examine the basic applications of biological and chemical sciences to crime scene investigation. Specific topics may include analysis of physical evidence (i.e. fingerprinting, hair analysis, fiber analysis), principles of serology and blood analysis. DNA analysis, ballistics, drug detection and toxicology, as well as chemical separation and identification techniques. Famous cases will be reviewed, such as the John F. Kennedy assassination, the deaths of celebrities such as Heath Ledger and Anna Nicole Smith, the O.J. Simpson Trial, the case of Dr. Sam Sheppard, and the identity of Anastasia. An interactive laboratory will mirror the work of a crime lab with emphasis on collection of evidence and hands-on experience with experimental techniques used to solve crimes. Fulfills the Science Perspective.
