  • BIOL 512: Physiology of Aging

    3.00 Credits
    California State University-San Marcos

    Examines changes in animal physiology that occurs during aging. Subjects include evolutionary and proximate causes of aging, physiological mechanisms proposed to explain aging, and methods to study and to manipulate rate of aging (e.g. caloric restriction). Both theoretical concepts and empirical examples will be addressed. Prerequisite for undergraduates and enrollment requirement for graduate students: BIOL 353.

  • BIOL 512L: Physiology of Aging Laboratory

    1.00 Credits
    California State University-San Marcos

    Provides hands-on experience in techniques currently used to study physiological changes during aging. Students will design and perform experiments that demonstrate central topics of the biology of aging. Exact labs will change as the field of biogerontology develops, but may include experiments to test effects of caloric restriction, trade-offs between reproduction and longevity, declines in physiological systems with age, and cellular resistance to oxidative stress. Model organisms will typically include small rodents, insects, and nematode worms. Three hours laboratory. Co/prerequisite: BIOL 512.

  • BIOL 514: Physiology of Parasitism

    3.00 Credits
    California State University-San Marcos

    Examines the physiology of hosts and parasites including how host physiology affects its susceptibility to parasites and subsequent host response to infection. Explores how parasite physiology influences their ability to infect hosts. Subjects will range from whole animal metabolism and immune response to specific biochemical pathways that change during parasitism. Both theoretical concepts and empirical examples will be addressed. Prerequisite for undergraduates and enrollment requirement for graduate students: BIOL 353.

  • BIOL 514L: Physiology of Parasitism Lab

    1.00 Credits
    California State University-San Marcos

    Provides hands-on experience in techniques currently used to study host-parasite physiology. Students will design and perform experiments that illustrate central topics of host-parasite associations. Subjects will change as the field develops, but may include studies of susceptibility, infection intensity, time to clear parasites and physiological effects of parasites on host life history. Focuses mainly on macroparasites and their vertebrate and invertebrate hosts. Three hours laboratory. Co/prerequisite: BIOL 514.

  • BIOL 515: Medical Physiology

    3.00 Credits
    California State University-San Marcos

    An advanced study of human physiology, particularly as it relates to disease. Examines physiological systems at the molecular, cellular and organ levels. Consists of lectures, student reviews of current articles from medical journals, group presentations, and class discussions designed as an in-depth examination of a particular disease, its causes and current treatments. Subjects will be organized around physiological systems and their defects. May not be taken for credit by students who have received credit for BIOL 596A. Prerequisite for undergraduates and enrollment requirement for graduate students: BIOL 353.

  • BIOL 520: Advanced Molecular Cell Biology

    3.00 Credits
    California State University-San Marcos

    Treatment of contemporary areas of interest in cell biology, molecular genetics, and development. Subjects covered may include, but are not limited to, the cell cycle, signal transduction and cell-cell communication, the regulation of gene expression, determination and differentiation, and oncogenes. May not be taken for credit by students who have received credit for BIOL 428. Recommended Preparation: BIOL 368 and CHEM 304. Prerequisite for undergraduates and enrollment requirement for graduate students: BIOL 351 and 352.

  • BIOL 531: Biological Data Analysis I-Linear Models

    3.00 Credits
    California State University-San Marcos

    A large fraction of common statistical analysis types in the biological sciences can be expressed as a linear model. Teaches students to use linear models to statistically analyze data, and emphasizes the conceptual unity of seemingly disparate analytical techniques. Specific analysis types will include: analysis of variance, analysis of covariance, linear regression, logistic regression, and log linear models. New advances in likelihood-based model selection will also be addressed. Additional subjects will be selected by students. May not be taken for credit by students who have received credit for BIOL 596H. Enrollment Requirement: BIOL 215 and BIOL 215L or Graduate standing.

  • BIOL 532: Biological Data Analysis II-Multivariate Analysis

    3.00 Credits
    California State University-San Marcos

    From molecular biology to ecosystem studies, technology is facilitating collection of large, multivariate biological data sets. Multivariate analyses seek to simplify, summarize, and test hypotheses about these complex data sets. Addresses major issues in multivariate analysis, and will introduce students to common analysis types and visualization approaches. Subjects covered will include: principal components analysis, discriminant analysis, canonical correlation, and redundancy analysis. Additional subjects will be selected by students based on their needs and interests. May not be taken for credit by students who have received credit for BIOL 596H. Enrollment Requirement: BIOL 215 and BIOL 215L or Graduate standing.

  • BIOL 533: Geographic Information Systems Applications in Landscape Ecology

    4.00 Credits
    California State University-San Marcos

    Explores how landscape structure and pattern affect ecological processes, at the individual, population, community, and ecosystem levels. Applications to land use planning and conservation biology will be covered. The primary enabling technologies for this new, rapidly growing discipline include remote sensing (such as satellite imagery) and geographic information systems (GIS), which will be covered during a weekly lab session. May not be taken for credit by students who have received credit for BIOL 596J and 597C.

  • BIOL 535: Ecological Modeling

    3.00 Credits
    California State University-San Marcos

    An introduction to the use and development of mathematical models for simulating dynamics of ecological systems. Ecological theory will be considered through the development of mathematical models. Models developed for simulating the effects of abiotic and biotic controls on ecological processes include continuous-and discretetime population models, "gap" models, cellular automata, fisheries, and biogeochemical and biogeographical models. Enrollment Requirement: BIOL 210 and 211. Prerequisite for undergraduates and enrollment requirement for graduate students: BIOL 354.
