Prerequisites: BIOL 1811 and 1821. Basic principles of developmental biology, with an emphasis on the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 3642 (recommended to be taken concurrently). Laboratory to accompany BIOL 3642. Three and one-half hours of laboratory per week.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 1811 and 1821, CHEM 1111 and 1121 and consent of instructor. Concurrent enrollment in CHEM 2612 or higher is strongly encouraged. A 2.5 GPA and enrollment in the undergraduate Biotechnology Certificate Program is required. Internship will consist of a period of observation, experimentation and on-the-job training in a biotechnology laboratory. The laboratory may be industrial or academic. Credit will be determined by the number of hours a student works each week and in consultation between the intern's supervisor and instructor. Two credits may be used to fulfill the lab requirement.

-
1.00 - 5.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 1811 and 1821, junior standing, and consent of instructor or curriculum committee. Topics will vary each semester. Topics are available from the biology department office. This course may be used to satisfy requirements for elective biology courses for the B.A. or B.S. degree in biology; it cannot be substituted for core courses required for all majors. Credit arranged. May be taken up to two times for credit.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 3102; BIOL 2102 recommended. Topics in animal behavior with an emphasis on ecological and evolutionary aspects of behavior. Topics may include the role of behavior in population regulation, habitat selection and spacing, feeding and predator-prey interactions, sexual selection, evolution of mating systems, and new approaches to animal communication. Three hours of lecture per week. Students may not receive credit for both BIOL 4102 and 6102.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 3102 or consent of instructor, BIOL 2102 or 4182 recommended. The evolution of sociality, including a critical examination of sociobiological theories and alternative approaches to social evolution. Survey of social organization and behavior in arthropods, with an emphasis on social insects, and vertebrates. Two hours of lecture, one hour of discussion per week. Students may not receive credit for both BIOL 4112 and 6112.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MATH 1030 and a minimum of 15 hours in biology. Reviews descriptive, analytical, and experimental methods useful for the statistical study of biological phenomena. Students will develop the skills needed to better appreciate and evaluate the published literature, as well as the ability to design their own research programs. Topics include: the collection and summarization of biological observations; development, design, and testing of hypotheses; analysis and presentation of data. Three hours of lecture per week. Fulfills the statistics requirement for the B.A. or B.S. degree in biology.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 3302 and 4182, or equivalent, or consent of instructor.? The course will explore the use of evolutionary theory to interpret life-history adaptations of organisms, family and social interactions, coevolution, and macroevolution. Topics will include the evolution of sex, sexual selection, aging, parent-offspring conflict, evolution of pathogen virulence, artificial selection, and genetic modification of organisms. Students will also analyze data sets using computer software to highlight the application of game theory approaches and phylogenetically based comparative analysis to interpret patterns in nature. Three hours of lecture per week. Students may not receive credit for both BIOL 4162 and 6162.
