1.00 Credits
Laboratory exercises that will provide experience in the following areas: dissection of representatives of each major vertebrate class with emphasis on the diagnostic differences between groups; identification and preservation of vertebrate specimens. Field trips are available on a limited basis. 3L. P or CO: BIO 483.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the community structure, biological production, and physical and chemical properties of aquatic ecosystems. The major features of water columns, benthic substrates, and lotic zones will be reviewed and compared. 3R. P: BIO 211 and 212.
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to methods for analyzing lake, stream, and wetland habitats. Exercises will examine physical and chemical properties, biological production and food chains, and water quality of freshwater ecosystems. 3L. CO: BIO 211/212. P or CO: BIO 485 or IC.
-
2.00 Credits
Direct observation of marine coastal habitats (reefs, sea grass beds, mangrove forests, rocky intertidal zones, and offshore waters) at Roatan Island, Honduras. Exercises in the field and campus laboratory sessions will examine physical and chemical properties; marine organisms, and community structure and productivity of marine ecosystems. 3L. P: BIO 211 and 212; CO: BIO 485 or IC.
-
1.00 Credits
Required of all undergraduate Teaching Assistants in those semesters in which they are teaching. Course provides instruction in both course content and its effective communication. Emphasis on laboratory and field skills, preparation of examinations, classroom supervision, and student evaluation.1R. Course may be repeated up to a maximum of four times. P: IC.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Assigned readings in the student's area of interest. Course is only an addition to and not a substitution for any portion of the major requirement. No more than 12 semester hours of credit may be accrued in any combination of BIO 493, 495, and 497. P: Sr. stdg. or IC.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
A program of independent study with emphasis on activities other than laboratory or field research. (Examples include library research or special course attendance). Course is only an addition to and not a substitution for any portion of the major requirement. 2-4 C and/or L. No more than 12 semester hours of credit may be accrued in any combination of BIO 493, 495, and 497. P: Sr. stdg. or IC.

-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to the field of bioinformatics and genome science. Lectures will discuss the pivotal role of bioinformatics in metabolizing the massive amounts of biological information generated from genome projects. Students will also have hands-on experiences of data mining, processing, and analysis, using computer software publically available or hand-coded by students. BIO 317 or IC.
-
3.00 Credits
Microbes are ubiquitous, and due to their physiological breadth are involved intimately with nearly all ecosystem processes, including decomposition and plant growth. The purpose of this course is to explore the roles of microbes in soil, aquatic, and human ecology. We will also explore the origins of life on the planet and how microbial activity has modified the global environment. We will discuss the application of microbiology to issues in biotechnology and biomediation. The current literature will be explored through in-class discussions and a comprehensive written assignment. Two Saturday field trips will allow students to compare the role of microbes in natural and human-dominated ecosystems. P: BIO 211, 212, 351.
