3.00 Credits
Cross-Listed as PSYCH 362Fulfills a course requirement in the Biology Core ConcentrationPrerequisites: PSYCH 100, BIO 103, and BIO 104 or NATSC 103; or consentof instructorProseminar course. Emphasizes common challenges that variousspecies face. The mechanisms responsible for behavior, includingsensory receptors, filters, neurobiology and the endocrine system arediscussed. The development of behavior, as well as behavior geneticsand evolution are examined. Students then focus on communicationand adaptations for survival, and social organization in animalgroups. Students present the results of a literature search.

Fulfills a course requirement in the Biology Core ConcentrationPrerequisites: BIO 103 BIO 104 or NATSC 204; and BIO 200 or consentof instructorAn introduction to the basic biology of viruses. Selected human,animal, insect, and plant viruses will be studied using principles fromgenetics, cell biology, immunology, ecology and evolutionary biology.The use of viruses in molecular biology, gene therapy and biologicalcontrol will be discussed. Laboratory work includes the study of virallife cycles as well as techniques used in the detection and isolation ofviruses.

Cross-Listed as NATSC 375Fulfills a course requirement in the Biology Core ConcentrationFulfills a course requirement in the Environmental Science Core ConcentrationPrerequisites: BIO 104, and one of BIO 240, 320 or 360; or consent of instructorThis course serves as an in-depth exploration of soils as uniquehabitats for life with a focus on understanding variables that affectthe abundance, diversity and interactions of terrestrial organismsand, in turn, their influence on soli physicochemical properties,biochemical cycles and other variables that impact the well-beingand sustainability of human societies (e.g. agricultural production,clean water availability) Topics to be covered include soil food webs,microbial ecology, soil aggregate formation, carbon and nitrogencycling, relationships between soils and aboveground ecology, andthe effects of human activities on soil biodiversity. During laboratorysessions, students will explore the basic biology of soil organisms,conduct research projects, and learn methods for sampling soils andsoil organisms in the field.

4.00 Credits
Fulfills a course requirement in the Biology Core ConcentrationPrerequisites: BIO 103 and BIO 104 or NATSC 204; or consent of instructorComprehensive study of parasites of man and domestic animalsincluding morphology, life cycles, pathogenesis, control, and laboratorydiagnosis. Examines cultural, political, social, and economic factorsinvolved in parasitic diseases.

4.00 Credits
Cross- listed as CHEM 390Fulfills a course requirement in the Biology Core ConcentrationPrerequisites: BIO 103 and CHEM 301 and 302Study of the metabolism of the chemical constituents of living matterwith emphasis on mechanisms regulating the synthesis and degradationof these chemical entities in biological systems.
-
3.00 Credits
Fulfills a course requirement in the Biology and Marine Biology Core ConcentrationPrerequisites: BIO 103 or consent of instructorThis course will introduce the student to the science of nutrition.Lectures and discussions will focus on the role nutrition playsin animal health and production. Topics to be covered includecomparative digestive anatomy and physiology; overview of nutrientsand their digestion, metabolic utilization, and balance; feedingstandards for domestic animals; feedstuffs and feed formulation; andother topics of nutritional concern in animal husbandry.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIO 103 or consent of instructor, must be taken concurrentlywith BIO 392This laboratory course is designed as a supplement to BIO 392 -Animal Nutrition for those students who require a more in-depthexperience in Animal Nutrition. The laboratory course will undertakea semester-long traditional feed research trial, where the student willmaintain animals on selected feeds, evaluate animal production in thecontext of comparing feeds, and conduct a series of traditional feedanalysis protocols to characterize the feeds being evaluated.

-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Successful completion (C or higher) of BIO 200 and oneadditional 300-level BIO course, or consent of instructor.Reading recent primary literature, students will investigate onenew area of ground-breaking biological research throughout thesemester. Topics will be offered on a rotating basis and may includegene therapy, molecular evolution, HIV and the immune system, thegenetics of learning and behavior, biological pattern formation, thebiology of cancer. This course may be repeated for credit, but studentsmay study a single topic only once.
