Emphasis will be placed on field identificationtechniques and habitat associations. Lecture and Laboratory. Credit, 4 semester hours.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the study of insects which emphasizes the classification, morphology, physiology, ecology, behavior, and importance of insects. Approximately one week will be devoted to spiders. A small collection with identification is required. Lecture and Laboratory. Credit, 4 semester hours. PREREQ: BIO 1000, 1020.
-

An analysis of the interactions of organisms with each other and the physical environment. Ecological process is examined at individual, community, and ecosystem levels. The basic kinds of ecosystems are surveyed. Lecture and Laboratory. Credit, 4 semester hours. PREREQ: BIO 1000.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the fungi, with emphasis upon taxonomy and physiology, including some reference to their economic importance. Special emphasis will be given to those that are animal or plant pathogens. Lecture and Laboratory. Credit, 3 semester hours. PREREQ: BIO 1000, 1010.
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of the major invertebrate phyla emphasizing classification, morphology, natural history, evolution, and behavior. At least one Saturday coastal field trip is required. Lecture and Laboratory. Credit, 4 semester hours. PREREQ: BIO 1000, 1020.
-
4.00 Credits
The biology of bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa, and viruses, with special reference to bacteria. Microbial diseases, immunity and the role of microorganisms in human affairs are also emphasized. Lecture and Laboratory. Credit, 4 semester hours. PREREQ: BIO 1000.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the basic principles of heredity and molecular genetics. General aspects of human genetics are included. Lecture and Laboratory. Credit, 4 semester hours. PREREQ: BIO 1000, MAT 1070.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the biology of parasites emphasizing classification, morphology, life history, pathology, treatment, ecology and evolution. Lecture and Laboratory. Credit, 4 semester hours. PREREQ: BIO 1000, 1020.
-
4.00 Credits
A course on the classical, genetic, and molecular analysis of embryonic development with lab. Its purpose is to offer a blend of classical and modern topics, which are organized in three parts: 1. the natural sequence of developmental stages from gametogenesis and fertilization to histogenesis; 2. the differential gene expression; and 3. a series of core topics including pattern formation, sex determination, hormonal control, and growth. Examples are picked as they serve best to illustrate the general points to be made. Mammals or other vertebrates will be preferred whenever possible because we have a natural interest in their development. Lecture and Laboratory. Credit, 4 semester hours.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to systematic botany and plant community ecology. The course emphasizes identification of the local flora as well as the recognition and characteristics of plant communities found in North Carolina. Lecture and Laboratory. Credit, 4 semester hours. PREREQ: BIO 1000, 1010.
