4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the principles of ecology and evolution, emphasizing the interrelationships between organisms and their environment. Topics include the historical development of evolutionary theory, the role of genetics, history of life on earth, and physiological, population, community and ecosystem ecology. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week (4 Credits). Prerequisite: BIO 120 and BIO 125
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the scientific study of life and basic biological principles. Emphasis is on the properties of living systems, their variety, their relationships in space and time to each other, evolution and the environment. Lecture/ laboratory. Course 101 is not a prerequisite for 102. Offered: Fall/101, spring /102 Staff
-
3.00 Credits
In this introduction to the biology of the invertebrates students study the natural history, phylogeny, anatomy, development, physiology, and importance to human populations of the major invertebrate phyla and a few of the minor ones. Lecture/laboratory/film sessions. Offered in spring semester. Prerequisite: Biology 101-102 Holliday
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores the structural features of human cells, tissues, and organs. Emphasis is on the morphological features unique to each type of cell and tissue, the functional consequences of these structural specializations, and the cellular basis of pathology. The laboratory portion of the course involves examination of prepared microscope slides. Lecture/laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 101-102, or permission of instructor Offered: Fall semester alternate years Staff
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the process of development at the cellular molecular level as a description of the stages through which an organism attains increasing complexity. In addition to lecture, students become actively involved through discussion of primary literature and laboratory. The laboratory features vertebrate and invertebrate examples of the developmental processes discussed in class as well as a student-designed research project with an oral presentation. Lecture/laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 101-102, or permission of instructor Offered: Spring semester Staff
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores the structure and function of vertebrate animals. Emphasis is placed on the form/function relationship, the evolution of anatomical specialization, and the comparative method. Prerequisite: Biology 101-102, or permission of instructor. Lecture/laboratory/independent laboratory. Offered: Fall semester alternate years Dearworth
-
3.00 Credits
An in-depth exploration of the vertebrate nervous system with emphasis on mammals and humans. Lectures detail the structure and function of the brain and spinal cord. The laboratory includes dissection, examination of prepared slides and other materials, and work with computer resources. In the experiential portion of the course, students use classical anatomical and modern molecular techniques to study the brain. Prerequisite: Biology 101-102, and permission of instructor. Dearworth
-
3.00 Credits
In Biology 215 students discuss the most important groups of true fungi and oomycetes (fungal-like organisms), their taxonomy, nomenclature and systematics, as well as their morphological and physiological characteristics, and ecological roles. These concepts are presented from both organismal and molecular perspectives. In addition, the importance of fungi as economic and ecological agents is discussed. Prerequisite: Biology 101 and Biology 102 Ospina-Giraldo
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of the major groups of vascular plants emphasizing the angiosperms and relating form to function at the cell, tissue, organ, and organismal levels. The overall importance of plants in ecosystem structure and environmental interactions are addressed. Laboratory includes plant tissue culture and some field work. Lecture/discussion/laboratory. [W] Prerequisite: Biology 101, 102 or permission of instructor Offered: Spring semester Staff
-
3.00 Credits
The biology of microorganisms, emphasizing prokaryotic structure, growth and cultivation, metabolism, genetics and gene regulation. Lecture topics include bacteria-to-bacteria signaling, biofilms, secretion, microbial diversity, and bacteriophage biology. Lectures are supplemented with readings from the primary literature. Laboratory exercises demonstrate principles covered in lecture and instruct students on research techniques. Prerequisite: Biology 101-102 Offered: Fall or spring semester Caslake
