  • BIOLOGY 3307: Conservation Biology

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    The Earth harbors an incredible diversity of species and communities, most still poorly understood by science. This biodiversity is essential to the functioning of natural ecosystems and provides a wide array of priceless services to people today and a treasure of benefits for the future. Yet human threats to biodiversity have led us to the brink of the sixth major extinction event in Earth’s history. Which populations, species, communities, and ecoregions are most diverse? Which are most threatened, and by which human activities? What is the contribution of biodiversity to human livelihoods? What does the science suggest is needed to conserve biodiversity? How might this best be done given social, economic, and political realities? These questions and more will be examined in this course, focusing on the key principles of conservation biology and the application of those principles to local, national, and international examples. Prerequisite:    BIOLOGY 1111 (0101) and 2112 (0102) with a grade of C or better in both, BIOLOGY 2227 (0227) with a C- or better

  • BIOLOGY 3311: Herpetology

    4.00 Credits
    Temple University

    Reptiles and amphibians comprise nearly 7,400 species and can be found on every major and minor landmass in the world except Antarctica. This course will provide a broad, evolutionary survey of the major groups of reptiles and amphibians (“herps”). We will cover topics about their basic biology, including anatomy, physiology, ecology, behavior, and conservation. The laboratory will emphasize taxonomic characters and identification of living and preserved specimens, with emphasis on species found in North America. Additionally several field trips (conducted during lab hours and spring break) will reinforce course material through hands-on experience.

  • BIOLOGY 3312: Biostatistics

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    Students will learn the basic tools of statistical analysis for raw data and learn how to apply and interpret the analysis for the type of experiments they will encounter in biology. They will have opportunities to work with raw data using available computer tools such as EXCEL and SPSS. Prerequisite:    MATH 1042 (0086) (Calculus II) with a C- or better

  • BIOLOGY 3316: Tropical Marine Biology

    4.00 Credits
    Temple University

    A survey of marine biology focusing on coral reefs of the Atlantic Ocean. Course lectures given at Temple University include regular meetings during the fall semester plus some meetings between semesters during December and January. The course work at Temple is supplemented by a required week of lectures, field trips and field projects on Ambergris Caye in Belize (Central America). Lecture topics include coral biology, reef geology and ecology, coral reef biota, food webs and nutrient transfer in coral reefs, reef community organization, the biology of reef fishes, commensal and symbiotic interactions of reef organisms, and other appropriate topics. Group projects and presentations are required. Additional requirements include a current passport and snorkeling equipment.

    Note: Requires fall plus inter-session attendance, including air travel to a foreign country between fall and spring semesters. Room, board, and boat use in Belize are covered by the course fee; air transportation to Belize is not included. The course web site survey or an application available from the instructor must be completed prior to registration. Prerequisite:    Special authorization; permission of instructor; BIOLOGY 1111 (0101) and 2112 (0102) with a grade of C or better in each. Not offered every year
