-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 115 Taxonomy and natural history of birds of northern Wisconsin. Field identification by sight and sound is emphasized. Daily trips to areas of local interest.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 234 A consideration of the biology of mammals. Emphasis is placed upon evolution, population structure, reproduction, and physiological adaptations. The lab is concerned with the morphology and general taxonomy of local mammals.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 115 This course will introduce students to avian anatomy, physiology, behavior, ecology, systematics and conservation. The lab focuses on survey methods, pigeon dissections, and identification of major orders.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 164 This course offers students an opportunity to study/monitor wolves in northern Wisconsin with a team of peers. It is a project-based course where students work in teams to investigate aspects of wolf biology and behavior. Projects will be fieldoriented and will require students to travel away from the college to collect data. As a member of the team, you will use radio telemetry to investigate wolf movements on the landscape, conduct tracking and howling surveys to determine presence/absence of wolves in local areas and understand spatial arrangements of packs in northern Wisconsin.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 234 and junior standing This course explores the theory of evolution through the ecologies of organisms. Examples of natural selection, the many nuances of sexual selection, and the great diversity of life history strategies will help illustrate how populations evolve. This is largely an evolutionary ecology course guided by journal articles from the evolution and ecological literatures, although we will also consider the role that evolutionary thought has played in Western society.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 234 A course focusing on community structure, taxonomy, and natural history of woody plant species which comprise the plant communities in the Upper Great Lakes Region. Lecture/discussions will be complemented by weekly field trips to various plant communities.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 238 and sophomore standing This course integrates classical and molecular principles of genetics. Topics include chromosomes, population and quantitative genetics, as well as gene expression, regulation and mutation. Problem solving is emphasized.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 238 A study of the physiology, ecology, molecular biology and phylogeny of microbial organisms, emphasizing bacteria but also considering protests, fungi, and viruses. The impact of these organisms on the environment, human health, and agriculture is also discussed. Labs emphasize methods of culturing and characterizing bacteria.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 238 and sophomore standing A study of the immune system of vertebrates, with an emphasis on human immunology. Topics include cellular and humeral responses, antibody diversity, evolution of the immune system, application of immunological techniques to ecological problems, and vaccines.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 238 A survey of animal development at the molecular, morphological, and evolutionary levels. Topics include genetic regulation, pattern formation, and morphogenesis. Lab exercises include both procedures and morphological analysis.
