Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours. [Dual-listed with BIO 5560.] Dual-listed courses require senior standing; juniors may enroll with permission of the department.
-
3.00 Credits
General study of biological/physiological changes over time in the structure and function of the systems of organisms with emphasis on the human body. Lecture three hours. [Dual-listed with BIO 5563.] Dual-listed courses require senior standing; juniors may enroll with permission of the department.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the principles and techniques of biological microscopy. Lectures include discussions on preparative techniques for various types of bioimaging, the optical theories behind the imaging technologies, and the structure and function of cellular organelles. Laboratories examine practical techniques of tissue preparation for various kinds of microscopy, the effective use of various types of microscopes, and the interpretation of data obtained from various imaging systems. Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours. [Dual-listed with BIO 5564.] Dual-listed courses require senior standing; juniors may enroll with permission of the department.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the morphology, diversity, evolution, ecology, physiology, and chemistry of lichens as well as their significance as biological indicators. Field trips are required. Lecture two hours, and laboratory three hours. [Dual-listed with BIO 5567.] Dual-listed courses require senior standing; juniors may enroll with permission of the department.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the immune system with emphasis on cellular interactions involved in the generation of humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. Lecture includes discussions on inflammation, antibody diversity, tissue transplantation, and immunopathologies. Laboratories examine lymphoid tissue organization, lymphocyte function, and antibody-antigen reactions with emphasis on clinical application. Prerequisite or corequisite: BIO 2400. Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours. [Dual-listed with BIO 5568.] Duallisted courses require senior standing; juniors may enroll with permission of the department.
-
4.00 Credits
Students will be introduced to the 34 extant major and minor invertebrate phyla which make up 99% of the Earth’s named animal species and virtually 100% of those animals yet undiscovered. The intriguing natural history, symmetry and development, mode of locomotion, nutrition, reproduction, and primary environments of the invertebrates will be discussed. Labs will emphasize invertebrate habitats, field collection, phylogenetic relationships as well as ecological and physiological adaptations and examination of major morphological characteristics. Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours with required field trips. [Dual-listed with BIO 5569.] Dual-listed courses require senior standing; juniors may enroll with permission of the department.
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of protistan, helminthic and arthropod parasites with emphasis on organisms of medical and veterinary importance. Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours. [Dual-listed with BIO 5570.] Dual-listed courses require senior standing; juniors may enroll with permission of the department.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the associations between insects and plants, using lecture, class discussions and laboratory exercises. Lecture topics include constraints imposed by plants on herbivorous insects and the strategies insects use to overcome them, pollination biology and ecology and the interplay between biotic and abiotic factors in determining interactions. Laboratory exercises are field-based mini-experiments leading to the development of an individual project with experimentation and paper presentation. Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours. [Dual-listed with BIO 5571.] Dual-listed courses require senior standing; juniors may enroll with permission of the department.
