4.00 Credits
The study of genetic, physiological, environmental and interactive variables that influence human development from gametogenesis to birth. Students should acquire an understanding of how development occurs in humans and the relationship between abnormal developmental processes and human disease states. Laboratory explores human development through the use of embryological slides, models, and applied techniques. Lecture 3 hours, laboratory 2 hours. Prerequisites: BIOL 3250 with a minimum grade of C or department head approval; BIOL 3130 recommended. Pre- or corequisites: CHEM 3020/CHEM 3020L or department head approval. Corequisite: BIOL 4340L. Laboratory/studio course fee will be assessed.
-
3.00 Credits
An integration of ecology, genetics, and evolutionary biology with emphasis on applications of genetic concepts in three major areas: molecular analysis, developmental and population genetics. Contemporary approaches to studying evolution in natural populations will be presented. Includes case studies and journal readings to examine evolutionary effects of ecological interactions among organisms. Prerequisites: junior standing and BIOL 3250 or department head approval. May be registered as ESC 4350. Credit not allowed in both BIOL 4350 and ESC 4350.
-
4.00 Credits
An examination of tropical marine habitats at the species, population and ecosystem levels with particular emphasis on seagrass beds, coral reefs, mangrove forests, tidal rivers and lakes, and the intertidal zone. The required field components is a one-week experience at a field station in the Caribbean. Lecture 2 hours, laboratory/field experience 4 hours. Prerequisite: Biology 122 or equivalent with a minimum grade of C, or Environmental Science 151 or equivalent with a grade of C. Laboratory/studio course fee will be assessed.

4.00 Credits
The biology of amphibians and non-avian reptiles with a strong emphasis on morphology, physiology, diversity, distribution, taxonomy, ecology, evolution and ethology. Laboratory includes problem solving and an in-depth approach to the identification of regional and global diversity as well as dissections, demonstrations and field trips. Lecture 3 hour, laboratory 3 hours. Prerequisites: BIOL 1120 with a minimum grade of C and at least one 3000-4000 level course from Biology or Environmental Science with a minimum grade of C; junior standing or department head approval. Corequisite: BIOL 4450L. Laboratory/studio course fee will be assessed.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles of systematic biology including contemporary systematic philosophies, problems of species and speciation, taxonomic characters and interpretation, construction of evolutionary trees, higher categories and classification, nomenclature, taxonomic collections and procedures of identification. On demand. Prerequisites: Biology 122 or equivalent with a minimum grade of C.
