Ornithology. Three semester hours. This course begins with an overview of current theories regarding the origins of birds and flight. This is followed by a brief survey the living orders and their biogeography. Other topics include the mechanics and adaptations for flight, avian physiology and anatomy, migration, communication and behavior, ecology, and avian conservation. Pre-requisite BSc 301. Offered SPRING, EVEN YEARS %

Vertebrate Biology. Three semester hours. This course takes a systematic approach to understanding vertebrate evolution, diversity and biology. It will follow the development of each vertebrate taxon through the fossil record from late Cambrian to the present. This is followed by discussions of vertebrate zoogeography, habitat and foraging, feeding modes, dispersal and migration, mating systems and parental care. Pre-requisite BSc 301. Offered: SPRING, ODD YEARS %

Internship Description : This course, intended for Wildlife and Conservation Science Majors, provides the opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience in preparation for careers in wildlife management and biological research. Assignments will be at an approved work situation under supervision of a designated faculty member. A minimum of 140 hours of experience is required for 3 sh of credit. May be retaken for a total of 6 sh of credit. %

3.00 Credits
Behavioral Ecology - Three semester hours This course examines the adaptive and evolutionary basis of animal behavior. It begins with an economic approach to behavior: optimality models and evolutionary stable strategies. This is followed by looking at predator-prey strategies, behavioral adaptations for competition, social behavior, aggression and fighting, sexual conflict and sexual selection, parental care and mating systems, alternate reproductive strategies, and altruism. Pre-requisite 301. %

Quantitative Biology. Three semester hours. The objective of this course is to provide students with the knowledge and understanding of the methods of statistical analysis applicable to biological research. Emphasis will be placed on the concepts and application of statistical thinking. Basic probability theory, parametric and non-parametric statistics including t-tests, analysis of variance, correlation, regression, and other quantitative methods will be introduced. Prerequisite: Math 1314. %

3.00 Credits
Evolutionary Biology. Three semester hours. In-depth view of evolutionary theory including gene flow, genetic drift, mutation, molecular evolution, mechanisms of speciation, phylogenies, and the evolution of sex, and sexual selection. Pre-requisite: BSc 301.%

4.00 Credits
Limnology. Four semester hours. (3 lecture, 2 lab) (2) (Same as ESci 415) The study of structure and function of fresh waters and the impact of human demographics on these systems. Study of the individual operational components and environmental factors that regulate productivity of fresh water ecosystems. Major components of lake systems are covered, i.e, microbial decomposition of dissolved bad particulate detrites, the intensive metabolism of the litteral zone and adjacent wetlands, metabolism in the sediments, influxes of nutrients and organic matter from outside the lake, the rapidity of nutrient cycling, and regulatory feedback mechanisms of larva on production of decomposition process.%
