4.00 Credits
(Prereq: Grades of C or better in BIOL A121 and A122, and successful completion of CHEM A111) Cellular, systemic, and organismal principles with a significant emphasis upon comparative aspects of animal physiology. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prereq: Grades of C or better in BIOL A121 and A122) Basic concepts of companion animal nutrition including a survey of the primary macromolecules, vitamins and minerals; comparative anatomy and physiology of metabolic, digestive and urinary systems; analysis and comparison of commercially available feeds; nutrient requirements for specific animal species and life stages. Three lecture hours per week.
-
4.00 Credits
(Prereq: Grades of C or better in BIOL A121 and A122 or departmental permission) An introduction to the mechanistic and evolutionary components of animal behavior including the nervous system, sensory systems, hormones, and genetics as well as a survey of general behaviors such as habitat selection, feeding, mating, communication, and aggression. One Saturday field trip required. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week.
-
4.00 Credits
(Prereq: Grades of C or better in BIOL A121 and A122 or departmental permission) An introduction to the structure and function of the human nervous system to include basic neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and interaction/cooperation between the nervous, sensory, muscle and endocrine systems. Emphasis will be placed on cellular processes and communication. The lab will focus on brain dissection and electrophysiological demonstrations/student designed experiments. Three lecture and three lab hours per week. "FA: 4/29/2013"
-
3.00 Credits
(Prereq: Grade of C or better in BIOL A121 and A122, and MATH A108, A111, A122, or A141) Introduction to the theory of adaptive strategies, population biology, and interspecific interactions of organisms. Three lecture hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prereq: Grade of C or better in BIOL A121 and A122, and MATH A108, A111, A122, or A141) A survey of the mechanisms that produce changes to the patterns of allelic variation in populations over time, the conditions under which these changes within lineages result in the separation of lineages, and the resulting patterns. Three lecture hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prereq: Grade of C or better in BIOL A370 or departmental permission) The objective of this course is to provide an overview of tropical marine ecosystems and their biological communities with a special focus on coral reefs and coral reef organisms. There will be a strong emphasis on systematics, taxonomy, and the ecology of dominant taxa and species. Each day will consist of lectures and trips to the field. A large portion of the time in the field will be spent snorkeling on near-shore patch reefs and surveying coastal and inland environments. Course is taught at a field station in the tropics. Special permission required. Additional fees assessed for travel and field station use. Students may count only BIOL A381 or BIOL A575 Topics in Ecology: Ecology of the Bahamas for major credit in Biology. Students who earned credit for BIOL A581 may not earn credit for BIOL A381.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prereq: Grades of C or better in BIOL A121 and A122, and successful completion of CHEM A111) A focus on the interactions between humans and the environment. Course provides information on environmental quality and the impact of environmental degradation on human health, wildlife, and other bioreceptors in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The course will address environmental stressors and pollution, their sources in the environment, their modes of transport and transformation, and their ecological and human health effects. Three lecture hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prereq: C or better in BIOL A121 and A122.) Selected topics in biology not covered in existing 300-level courses. Laboratory and field experiences may be included if appropriate.
-
2.00 Credits
(Prereq: Departmental permission, 12 hours of biology credit) An independent study course in which students will conduct a research project under the mentorship of a biology faculty member. This course is intended for junior or senior biology majors. To successfully complete this course, students must actively participate in lab or field activities (to include regular meetings with their mentor) and produce a written or oral report of results. This course may be repeated for a maximum of 4 hours of credit, two of which may be used towards the biology major. Must be taken with BIOL A400 Seminar in Biology. Contract required.
