  • BIOLOGY 3225: Evolutionary Genetics

    4.00 Credits
    Temple University

    This class covers fundamental principles of population and comparative genetics with special attention given to recent advances in genomics. The scope of the class ranges from understanding variation at the population level to addressing species-level questions. Topics covered include classical population genetics, quantitative genetics, comparative genomics, phylogenomics and speciation. Lectures, assignments and discussions will explore theoretical and recent empirical advances. Prerequisite:    BIOLOGY 1111, 2112, and 2296 (2203), and MATH 1042 with a grade of C or better in each

  • BIOLOGY 3232: Behavioral Genetics

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    This course is an introduction to the interdisciplinary field – behavioral genetics – that combines behavioral sciences and genetics and unifies the long-standing debate on what underlies complex human behavior: “nurture” or “nature.” This course will discuss the genetic approaches used to dissect out the genetic determinant of complex human traits. For example, students will learn about genes that influence learning and memory, intelligence (IQ), cognitive disabilities, personality disorders, psychopathology, antisocial behavior, substance abuse, and sexual orientation. In addition, the interplay of environment and genetic factors that create individual differences in behavior will be explored. Because this field represents the intersection between what is known and what might be known in the future about complex and potentially controversial behaviors and characteristics, students will be encouraged to discuss contemporary ethical issues regarding human behavior in realm of the scientific evidence presented.

  • BIOLOGY 3243: Parasitology

    4.00 Credits
    Temple University

    This course will introduce students to the basic concepts of parasitology, including types of animal associations, adaptations to parasitic mode of life, and evolution of parasitism. Parasite life cycles (infection, transmission, pathology, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment) and control of medically and economically important parasites are the main emphasis of this course. Includes a laboratory. Prerequisite:    BIOLOGY 2296 (2203, 0203) and BIOLOGY 3096 (W204) with a C- or better in each

  • BIOLOGY 3245: Marine Ecology

    4.00 Credits
    Temple University

    A survey of the concepts of aquatic ecology in estuarine and marine ecosystems, emphasizing the organization and maintenance of the major aquatic communities in response to the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the environment, modes of energy transfer, physiological adaptation, life history characteristics, and functional morphology. Laboratory exercises stress comparative measurement of biological diversity in the marine environment.

    Note: One or more field trips required. Prerequisite:    BIOLOGY 1111 (0101) and 2112 (0102) with a grade of C or better in each, BIOLOGY 2227 (0227) with a C- or better

  • BIOLOGY 3254: Animal Behavior

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    This course will examine how animals behave, and investigate the proximate (neurological and developmental) and ultimate (functional and evolutionary) explanations for these behaviors. The ecological and evolutionary processes that shape animal behavior will be examined through the study of classic theories and major principles of animal behavior, including a weighing of the experimental and observational evidence for each idea. Concepts will be illustrated with examples from a wide range of taxonomic groups of animals in diverse ecosystems, and emerging theories in animal behavior will be discussed. We will conclude with applications of animal behavior for conservation. Prerequisite:    BIOLOGY 1111 (0101) and 2112 (0102) with a grade of C or better in each, and BIOLOGY 2227 (0227)

  • BIOLOGY 3265: Developmental Biology

    4.00 Credits
    Temple University

    This course provides an introduction to invertebrate and vertebrate development. It combines the description of classical examples of experimental embryology with the current study of the mechanisms of development, differentiation, and growth in animals at the molecular, cellular, and genetic levels. Topics covered include embryonic patterning, cell-cell interactions, growth factors and signal transduction, transcriptional control mechanisms and regulatory network, evolutionary mechanisms as well as the discussion of relevant diseases. The laboratory consists of simple experiments on all aspects of development, supplemented by examination of slides and models. Invertebrate (sea urchin, fly) and vertebrate (frog, fish, chick) models are covered. Prerequisite:    BIOLOGY 2296 (2203, 0203) with a C- or better

  • BIOLOGY 3281: Cooperative Research in Biochemistry

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    Independent research carried out in an off-campus laboratory. A Biochemistry faculty member and the research director of the off-campus laboratory will jointly supervise research. Written permission must be obtained in advance from the supervising faculty member and one of the co-administrators. Student must present a seminar on campus describing the scientific aims of the project, the experimental design, and the conclusions drawn from the experiments.

    Note: Restricted to Biochemistry majors enrolled in the Cooperative Program. Prerequisite:    Written approval must be obtained in advance from the faculty member and the Biochemistry Committee
