  • BIOL 444: EXPERIMENTAL MARINE ECOLOGY

    0.00 - 5.00 Credits
    Old Dominion University

    Lecture 2 hours; laboratory 6 hours; 5 credits. Prerequisite: BIOL 331. A lecture/field course in experimental design and the use of quantitative ecological techniques in addressing scientific questions in marine ecology. The course includes lectures on techniques, field exercises where techniques are employed, computer-based data analysis, and written reports of research project results. A week-long research trip to a marine laboratory is required.

  • BIOL 445: COMMUNITY ECOLOGY

    3.00 Credits
    Old Dominion University

    Lecture 3 hours; 3 credits. Prerequisite: BIOL 291 or equivalent. The goal of this course is to introduce and evaluate both classical and emerging paradigms in community ecology. This will be achieved by examining those processes (biotic and abiotic) that structure ecological communities, and by developing skills in statistical analyses and modeling to objectively weigh the evidence presented in support of these paradigms.

  • BIOL 446: COMPARATIVE BIOMECHANICS

    3.00 Credits
    Old Dominion University

    Lecture 3 hours; 3 credits. Prerequisite: BIOL 293; recommended courses: PHYS 111N, 112N. The principles of fluid and solid mechanics will be applied to a variety of plant and animal systems to understand how organisms deal with the immediate physical world and its accompanying constraints. A diverse range of topics will be covered, including aerial flight in insects, wind resistance in trees, jet propulsion in squid, flow within blood vessels, forces on intertidal organisms, viscoelasticity in biological materials, and energy storage during terrestrial movement.

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Old Dominion University

    Lecture 2 hours; laboratory 4 hours; 4 credits. Prerequisites: BIOL 291 and senior standing. Course covers the general theoretical concepts in plant ecology with statistical methods. The structure, development, processes, and history of plant communities are studied. Laboratories involve extensive fieldwork. A weekend field trip is required.

  • BIOL 454: PARASITOLOGY

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Old Dominion University

    Lecture 2 hours; laboratory 4 hours; 4 credits. Prerequisites: BIOL 293 and 303. A basic course which treats parasitism as one of several biological interactions. The principles discussed are structural and physiological adaptations to parasitism, host specificity, immunity, parasitic life cycles, and evolution of parasitism. Representative species are examined in the laboratory.

  • BIOL 455: MOLECULAR SYSTEMATICS

    3.00 Credits
    Old Dominion University

    Lecture 3 hours; 3 credits. Prerequisites: BIOL 115N, 116N, 292 and 303. An introduction to the processes and procedures used to reconstruct the evolutionary history of living organisms using chromosomes, proteins, and nucleic acids. Topics include project planning and sampling, molecular techniques, and analytical and tree-building programs used to infer phylogeny. Assignments include readings followed by participation in group discussions and an oral presentation followed by a written paper on the analyses of a molecular data set.
