-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the biology of vertebrates that explores evolutionary relationships, morphology and physiology, behavior and ecology, systematic and taxonomy. The laboratory examines vertebrate morphology and taxonomy through specimen review, dissection, and field trips. Field trips will be conducted during lab time and on weekends.
-
3.00 Credits
A descriptive study of the anatomy of seed plants. Morphological aspects, detailed ontogeny, and the relation between structures and function are utilized to enhance the understanding of plant structures and their variabilities.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the causes and symptoms of environmental deterioration. The effect of ecological perturbations on ecosystems especially the biota. Field experiences are an integral part of the course.
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introductory microbiology course emphasizing prokaryotic functional anatomy, metabolism, and genetics. Principles of diseases and a basic introduction to immunology are included which provide a background for an overview of a variety of common diseases. Applied and environmental aspects of food, soil, and water microbiology are stressed in both the lecture and the laboratory. The laboratory is an integral portion of the course and emphasizes laboratory techniques, physiological testing, food and water analysis, and identification of unknowns.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the major groups of marine organisms, their adaptations and distribution within the marine environment. Laboratory work will include methods of sampling, identification, experimental manipulations, and a weekend field trip.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the distinguishing features and economic importance of the principle groups of vascular plants. It also covers terminology associated with systematic botany, the historical development of systematic botany including different systems of plant classification, and provides students with practical experience in the identification of selected vascular plants of the region. Each student is required to preserve, mount, and identify a collection of plants. Some of the required field trips may require additional out-of-class time. A one day or overnight weekend field trip may be required in this class.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to physiological activities in plants, including water relations and solute absorption, translocation, growth and development. Laboratory experiments are designed to demonstrate physiological activities in plants and introduce basic techniques used in plant physiological research.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides an integrated study of struch1re and function within the Animal Kingdom. Comparisons will examine differences in structure and regulation with consideration for cellular and molecular physiology, but with an emphasis on the integration of physiological systems at the level of tissues, organs, and whole organisms. Major body systems including muscular, nervous, endocrine, urinary, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and reproductive will be examined under normal conditions, and in response to stressors and disease to understand function and regulation in the pursuit of homeostasis.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of plant diseases incited by bacteria, viruses, and fungi are considered in lectures, laboratory exercises, and field trips. Special emphasis is placed on descriptions, diagnosis and controls of the more important plant pathogens.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles and concepts pertaining to the ecosystem. Introduction to local terrestrial and aquatic habits. Consideration will include pertinent problems of wildlife management and conservation. Each student is required to participate in field trips and to complete a paper on some aspect of the field study.
