1.00 Credits
A natural history-based, investigative approach to plant ecology and conservation, emphasizing the dynamic interactions of plants in relation to biotic and abiotic environments. Explores the life histories and interrelationships of plant populations within ecological communities. Includes case studies of plant adaptations and interactions within grassland, savanna, and forest habitats. Covers ecological sampling techniques and tree identification. Lecture, discussion, field, and laboratory experiences. Prerequisite: BIOL 125 or consent of instructor Offering: Fall Instructor: Kephart
-
1.00 Credits
Course focuses on cellular mechanisms and body systems and the relationship between them that dictates the physiological functions of the human body. Emphasis is placed on the homeostatic control of the human body. The required laboratory component examines the specific details of each physiological system, and prepares students for independent research. Writing skills and familiarization with digital data acquisition techniques are also emphasized. Prerequisite: BIOL 246 or consent of instructor Offering: Every semester Instructor: Lockard, Stavrianeas
-
0.25 - 1.00 Credits
Course allows exploration of a research interest in the area of expertise of a member of the biology faculty. Nature of participation varies from learning new techniques to collaborative research with the faculty mentor and advanced students. Course provides hands-on experience in literature search, data collection, and synthesis of results in a final paper and oral presentation. May be repeated for credit. Prerequisite: Consent of biology faculty Offering: On demand Instructor: Staff
-
1.00 Credits
Study of the principles of heredity in microbes, plants and animals. An integrated course in classical and molecular genetics dealing with such topics as: Mendelian genetics, mapping, gene interaction, extrachromosomal inheritance, DNA, gene action, gene regulation, mutagenesis, recombinant DNA technology. Laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 130 and CHEM 115 Offering: Fall Instructor: Staff
-
1.00 Credits
A study of the structure and function of genetic material at the molecular level. Topics to be discussed include: DNA, RNA, proteins and their interrelationships through the "Central Dogma" of information transfer; genetic regulation; recombinant DNA and genetic engineering; genetic screening. Special emphasis will be on the primary literature and research methods employed in this sub-discipline of biology. Laboratory. General Education Requirement Fulfillment: Writing centered Prerequisite: BIOL 333 and CHEM 225 Offering: Spring Instructor: Staff
-
1.00 Credits
A course designed to examine the intimate relationship between form and function from the cellular to the organismal level of organization in animals. Topics reviewed focus on how the animal body engages physiological controls to regulate such processes as salt/water levels, temperature, muscle action, hormonal release and nerve communication. Special attention is devoted to the methodology of physiology with emphasis on the primary literature. Laboratory. General Education Requirement Fulfillment: Writing centered Prerequisite: BIOL 125 and CHEM 115 Offering: Fall Instructor: Staff
-
1.00 Credits
Field and laboratory course emphasizing research techniques and primary literature in plant systematics and evolution. An investigative approach to the study of plant diversity including the classification, probable relations and genetic variability of vascular and nonvascular plants. Special emphasis is placed on the Oregon flora and the relationship of plant morphology and breeding systems to habitat and distribution. Laboratory. General Education Requirement Fulfillment: Writing centered Prerequisite: BIOL 125 required; BIOL 130 recommended Offering: Spring Instructor: Kephart
-
1.00 Credits
An introduction to the principles and investigative techniques of behavioral ecology. The ecological influence and evolutionary implications of animal behavior will be investigated through field studies, laboratory exercises and computer simulations. Lectures, discussions and readings in the primary literature and research projects will introduce the student to all stages of the investigative process. Topics to be examined include: social interactions, mating systems, foraging behavior, orientation/navigation, communication and reproductive success. Laboratory. General Education Requirement Fulfillment: Writing centered Prerequisite: BIOL 125 required; BIOL 130 and 255 recommended Offering: Fall Instructor: Staff
-
1.00 Credits
An introduction to the principles and investigative techniques of Microbial Ecology. Students will study microbial processes in soil, water and in hosts to better understand the distribution and biochemistry of microorganisms in respective habitats. Each student will become familiar with the primary literature, modern laboratory techniques and the instrumentation central to this field of biological inquiry. Laboratory. General Education Requirement Fulfillment: Writing centered Prerequisite: BIOL 250 or consent of instructor Offering: Spring Instructor: Rose
-
1.00 Credits
Investigation of plant responses to environmental signals using methods of DNA manipulation and reverse genetics. The course will include exposure to primary literature and experimental methods of the discipline. Topics include plant responses to light, hormones, water, nutrients, and temperature at the cellular and molecular levels. Laboratory will require an independent project using DNA manipulation to investigate model organisms such as Arabidopsis and tobacco. General Education Requirement Fulfillment: Writing centered Prerequisite: BIOL 130 and BIOL 244, or consent of instructor Offering: On demand Instructor: Tallman
