0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Offered: F. Identification, characteristics, and importance of seed plants; studies classification, techniques, and literature of taxonomy. Requires a plant collection and field trips. Three hours lecture, two hours lab. Prerequisite: BIO105.
-
0.00 - 2.00 Credits
Offered: Su (even-numbered years). This course concentrates on the identification, systematics, ecology, and natural history of native plants in forests, prairies, wetlands, and successional habitats in northwest Missouri. Field experiences, lectures and discussions are integrated throughout the course. (In order to take advantage of unique field opportunities, BIO351 begins in late April and finishes in late June.) Prerequisite: BIO225.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Offered: Sp (odd-numbered years). The ecology of cave habitats.

-
3.00 Credits
Offered: F (even numbered years). Introduction to the principles of federal wildlife law as currently practiced in the United States. The course will survey the historical and constitutional origins of federal wildlife law and discuss the influence major statutes currently in effect exert on the biopolitics and daily practice of wildlife resource management and conservation.

-
3.00 Credits
Offered: Sp (even-numbered years). This course provides pre-service secondary biology teachers with opportunities to develop a framework that can be used to coordinate biological concepts and techniques obtained from science courses with pedagogical concepts and methods from education classes and teaching experiences. The development of a science teaching portfolio is required. Students enrolled in this course must also be available to work in one of the scheduled BIO101 labs. Prerequisite: 20 credit hours in science.
