  • BIOL 545: 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 546: 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.
