-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
(4 sem. hrs.) Classical vertebrate and invertebrate embryology, coupled with inquiries into related fields of biochemistry, cellular biology and molecular genetics. Emphasis on the chemical basis of early development through primary organ formation. The laboratory emphasizes experimental techniques and instrumentation. Satisfies capstone requirement. PREREQUISITES: BIO222 and BIO223 or permission of the instructor. Open to juniors and seniors.
-
1.00 Credits
(1 sem. hr.) Students will improve their written and oral communication by critiquing several recently published papers from the biological literature. Required of all Biology and Environmental Biology majors during the junior or senior year. Satisfies the Junior Level Discipline specific communication requirement. (Fall and Spring) PREREQUISITES: Biology major, Junior or Senior Standing
-
3.00 Credits
(3 sem. hr.) The process of evolution is defined and evidence from biology and paleontology for the reality of evolution is reviewed. The course next surveys the natural processes which scientists suggest can lead to evolutionary change in groups of organisms and concludes with the postulated evolutionary histories of several important groups, including humans. Three lectures per week. Required of all Biology and Environmental Biology majors. (Fall only) PREREQUISITES: BIO123, BIO124 and BIO223 or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits

Symptoms, treatments, Psychological factors and possible screening methods will be presented. This course is suggested for people entering into graduate or professional programs in human health-related fields. Satisfies capstone requirement. PREREQUISITES: BIO223 or permission of the instructor. Open to juniors and seniors only.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
(4 sem. hrs.) The biological effects of water pollution will be studied through lectures, experimentation, field sampling, laboratory analysis, and data interpretation. Students will employ up-to-date methods of stream biomonitoring and will be introduced to methods of toxicity testing. Two 75-minute lectures/discussions plus one 3-hour lab/field session per week. Students with credit for WTR324 will not also receive credit for BIO324. (Spring of even-odd years) PREREQUISITES: ENS323
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
(4 sem. hrs.) Introduction to general principles and techniques of the study of micro-organisms of air, water, foods and soils, and relationship of such organisms to health and disease in plants and animals. 3 lectures and two 2-hour laboratory periods each week. Satisfies capstone requirement. (Fall only) PREREQUISITES: 2 semesters of both college biology and college chemistry. Open to juniors and seniors only.
-
3.00 Credits
(3 sem. hrs.) Theories and mechanisms of infection and immunity. A general course dealing with the nature of antigens, antibodies, immunologic reactions with consideration of antibody structure and the cellular, biochemical and genetic basis of immunity. Allergic phenomena, autoimmune disease and transplantation will be discussed. (Spring of odd-even years) PREREQUISITES: BIO325 or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
(3 sem. hrs.) Algae- their identification, economic importance and evolutionary significance. Both freshwater micro-algae and marine macro-algae will be included. Laboratory will emphasize collecting, identifying and counting techniques. Recommended for those interested in careers in aquatic biology or botany. 2 lectures and one 2-hour lab per week. (Spring of odd-even years) PREREQUISITES: BIO124
-
4.00 Credits
(4 sem. hrs.) An investigation of the ways living organisms interact with each other and their physical environments. Topics include adaptations of individuals to environmental stress, the structure and growth of populations, competition, predation, community ecology and the flow of energy and nutrients through ecosystems. The lab introduces students to experimental ecology. Three 2-hour classes each week. Required of all Environmental Biology majors. Satisfies capstone requirement. (Spring only) PREREQUISITES: BIO123, BIO124 and a statistics course. Open to juniors and seniors only.
-
3.00 Credits
(3 sem. hrs.) This course provides an intro to the broad field of fish biology. It develops important background for those interested in pursuing careers in fisheries biology, aquaculture, water quality assessment, ecology or vertebrate physiology. We review a number of the traditional concerns of ichthyology including fish taxonomy, anatomy, physiology distribution, ecology and behavior. Special attention is given to field collection methods involving seining and electroshocking, and to identification of Ohio stream and lake fish species. (Spring of even-odd years) PREREQUISITES: BIO123
