  • 4.00 Credits

    Th is course examines the comparative anatomy and physiology of the vertebrates through laboratory dissections and lectures. Emphasis will be placed on adaptive grades and phylogeny as well as the ecological signifi cance of these adaptations. Spring, evennumbered years.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Th is course will examine a variety of parasitic organisms of humans and other species. Life cycles, parasite-host interactions, epidemiology, disease processes and methods of control of these organisms will be studied. Th ree lectures and one laboratory weekly. Spring, odd-numbered years.
  • 1.00 Credits

    Th is lecture/discussion course focuses on applications of ecology to aquatic systems and seminal studies of aquatic systems that have shaped ecological theory. Students should plan to take the companion course, BIO 363 in the summer session.
  • 3.00 Credits

    A fi eld course based at the Nature Conservancy Preserve near Valentine, Neb. We will examine the environments and organisms of streams and lakes, with emphasis on the adaptations and interactions occurring there. We will have opportunities to study a variety of streams and rivers, natural and man-made lakes, and focus on the unique Niobrara River ecosystem. Beginning the second day after Memorial Day through the third Friday in June for 13 full days of fi eld instruction exclusive of weekends. Prerequisite: BIO 362.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Th e study and appreciation of birds has been a lifelong hobby and passion of many, but also provides some of the most impressive examples of biological adaptation (Darwin's fi nches), environmental issues (Silent Spring) and extraordinary behavior (migration). Ornithology is the scientifi c study of birds including their anatomy, evolution, behavior, and species identifi cation. Th is class will also focus on environmental impacts of habitat destruction, pollution, and global warming on this most unique order of vertebrates. Saturday morning fi eld trips and labs will provide students with skill in identifi cation as well as reasons and opportunities to be active in bird conservation. Satisfi es L.A.P. for life science with lab. Spring, even-numbered years.
  • 4.00 Credits

    A detailed study of the fundamental unit of all living systems, the cell. Th is course will examine the structures and functions of the major components of the cell. Th e discovery, molecular composition, microscopic appearance, function and relationships of these cellular organelles will be investigated. Th ree lectures and one laboratory weekly. Spring semester.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Of the 1.5 million named species of animals, only about 3 percent are supported by a backbone. Th e rest are invertebrates. Th ey show a great diversity of body plans, behaviors, and life histories. Many impact us medically and economically (both positively and negatively), others aesthetically (beautiful and fascinating, or simply frightening), while still others have global impacts on climate and nutrient recycling. Th is course surveys the many solutions to survival presented by invertebrates, including those that haven't survived. Th ree lectures and one laboratory weekly. Fall, odd-numbered years.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Th is course focuses on the methods, principles, and concerns of teaching biology in the elementary school. A survey of basic biological concepts and unifying principles as well as the incorporation of professional and Nebraska K-12 Science Standards are also emphasized. Required simulated and fi eld experience activities may also be scheduled outside of the regular course meeting times. Th ree lectures, and three one-hour laboratories weekly. Candidate must be admitted to the Teacher Education. Fall semester.
  • 4.00 Credits

    (Also CHM 404) Th e fi rst half of a two-semester biochemistry sequence, this course will examine basic principles of biochemistry, including structures and functions of biological molecules and basic aspects of enzyme kinetics and energy metabolism. Prerequisite: CHM 263. Th ree lectures and one laboratory weekly. Fall semester.
  • 4.00 Credits

    (Also CHM 405) An extension of BIO 404, this class will focus on metabolism and metabolic pathways, including detailed examination of enzyme kinetics, metabolic regulation, and biochemical aspects of gene function and regulation. Th e laboratory will consist primarily of longterm, problem-based research investigations. Th ree lectures and one laboratory weekly. Prerequisite: BIO 404. Spring semester.
