-
3.00 Credits
A study of principles from evolutionary ecology, population ecology, community ecology, and conservation biology. Topics include the geological history of diversity, natural selection, physiological ecology, population growth, competition, predation, succession, food webs, community stability, nutrient cycling, energetics, and island biogeography.
-
1.00 Credits
Laboratory, field, and computer simulations to accompany BIOL 381. Techniques in the analysis of population growth and dispersion, competition, predator-prey cycles, diversity indices, mark-recapture, fire ecological succession, and biophysical ecology.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the origin and preservation of biological diversity. Conservation biology as a science has emerged due to the human population causing the extinction of species and loss of habitats throughout the biosphere. Topics include the genetics of small populations, extinction processes, introduced species, and habitat fragmentation. Specific case studies such as the spotted owl, the great lakes of Africa and North America, and the California condor are used to illustrate the complex nature of conserving biological diversity.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of ecology of oceans, intertidal zones, freshwater lakes, streams, and wetlands. Course includes physics and chemistry of water bodies. Includes taxonomy of aquatic organisms, mechanisms of predation and herbivory, and physiology. Local fields trips and laboratory work emphasizes the limnology of Lake Tahoe basin lakes and streams, Great Basin alkaline lakes, and Pacific coast intertidal and deep ocean waters.
-
1.00 Credits
Limnology and oceanography fieldwork to accompany BIOL 421. Chemistry and taxonomy, as well as benthic analysis, wave and tidal dynamics, and marine taxonomy will be covered. Includes weekend field trips.
