2.00 Credits
Landscape ecology, a relatively new field within modern ecology, emphasizes large areas and the ecological effects of spatial pattern on ecosystems. Students learn to use geographic information systems and global positioning systems to solve modern problems in landscape ecology. Lectures, laboratories, and special assignments will convey important concepts and facts in landscape ecology and the operations of GIS. Prerequisite: BSC 307.
-
2.00 Credits
Biochemistry 410 is the first semester of a one-year course. The first semester covers the structure, function, and metabolism of amino acids and proteins and simple and complex carbohydrates. Emphasis will be on understanding biochemistry from a biological point of view and on providing information on how biochemical events are regulated in living tissues. Prerequisite: General Chemistry I and II and Organic Chemistry I and II. (Cross-listed with CHEM 410.)
-
2.00 Credits
Biochemistry 411 is the second semester of a one-year course. The second semester covers the structure, function, and metabolism of lipids and nucleic acids. Emphasis will be on understanding biochemistry from a biological point of view and on providing information on how biochemical events are regulated in living tissues. Prerequisite: General Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II, and Biochemistry I (BSC 410). (Cross-listed with CHEM 411.)
-
2.00 Credits
The study of the vertebrate Class Mammalia, to include classical taxonomy, ecology, natural history, and diversity as well as mammalian adaptations associated with nutrition, locomotion, behavior, thermoregulation, and genetics. Emphasis will be on those species found in the southwestern United States (particularly Arkansas and Texas). Prerequisite: Two semesters of biology.
-
2.00 Credits
A survey of the vertebrate Classes Amphibia and Reptilia, including frogs and toads, caecilians, salamanders, turtles, lizards, amphibaenians, snakes, rhynchocephalans, and crocodilians. The study of classical taxonomy, ecology, natural history, and diversity as well as amphibian and reptilian adaptations associated with nutrition, locomotion, behavior, thermoregulation, and reproduction. The course will focus on the evolution of amphibian and reptilian lineages and the evolutionary ecology of the major groups. Emphasis will be on those species found in the southwestern United States (particularly the ARK-LA-TEX region). Prerequisite: Two semesters of biology.
-
2.00 Credits
The study of the vertebrate classes Agnatha, Chondrichthyes, and Osteichthyes, to include classification, phylogeny, morphology, and ecology of fishes as well as adaptations associated with nutrition, locomotion, behavior, thermoregulation, and reproduction. Emphasis will be on those freshwater species found in North America, particularly Arkansas and Texas. Prerequisite: Two semesters of biology.
-
2.00 Credits
The study of the cell and fundamental tissue types to include the microscopic structure of the organ systems of representative vertebrates. Emphasis will be on the relationship between microscopic structure and function. Prerequisite: Two semesters of biology, Anatomy and Physiology.
-
2.00 Credits
Study of the biological, chemical, and physical characteristics of the freshwater environment. Prerequisite: Two semesters of biology.
-
3.00 Credits
Research in biology conducted under faculty guidance. Prerequisite: Two semesters of biology and approval of Science Program Director. Offered every semester.
-
2.00 Credits
Basic principles, mechanisms, and patterns of evolutionary biology including a historical survey of related ideas. Prerequisite: Two semesters of biology.
