3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 151-152. Ecology is a study of the interrelationships of plants, animals and their environment. This course examines these interactions in the context of energy flow, nutrient cycles, limiting factors, succession and population dynamics. Field work introduces various ecological sampling techniques and the student participates in an ecological analysis of various local communities as well as extended field trips. Two lectures and one field trip or three-hour laboratory period each week. Lab fee 6 will be assessed for this course.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 151-152. A systematic study of the insects of the world considering anatomy, physiology, behavior and relation to humans. In the laboratory, emphasis is placed on identifying local insects and a representative collection is turned in. Short field trips are planned as part of the laboratory work. Two lectures and one three-hour laboratory period each week.

3.00 Credits
This course covers general ecology principles and ecology of a selected field area, usually in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada. Emphasis will be placed on identification of mammals, birds, insects and plants and their ecological interactions. Five days of class lectures, approximately nine days of field trip, and post-trip writing assignments will be required. Lab fees 7 and 13 will be assessed for this course. (Summer, odd years).
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 151-152. A general study of bacteria, yeasts, molds and viruses, considering their morphology, physiology, genetics and methods of control. Study is given to immunology topics: antigen-antibody properties, host-antigen interactions, humoral and cellular immune systems. The importance of microorganisms in environmental and applied fields is considered. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory period each week.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 151-152. A study of the basic aspects of the human immune system including topics such as antigen and antibody structure and reactions, humoral and cell mediated immunity, hypersensitivity, immune disease and transplantation immunology. Two lectures and one three-hour laboratory period each week.

3.00 Credits
This course is cross-listed with PSYC 387. A student may receive credit for this course from only one program. Prerequisites: BIOL 151-152 or PSYC 122 and 128. The behavior of animals is studied with a focus on both proximate causes (mechanisms) and ultimate causes (survival strategies) of behavior. Special importance is placed on understanding techniques of experimental study and hypothesis testing. Topics covered include: genetic, developmental, and physiological bases of behavior; instinct and learning; communication; habitat selection; feeding, antipredatory, reproductive, and parenting strategies; mating systems, social behavior and human sociobiology. Three lectures each week.

Prerequisite: BIOL 151. See BIOL 197 for course description.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 151-152. This field study of trees, flowering plants and ferns emphasizes species identification with the aid of botanical keys, recognition of plant families and noting habitats where various species occur. Other taxonomic methods are introduced. Students prepare a collection of herbarium specimens. Two lectures and one field trip or three-hour laboratory period each week.
