3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 201, 202 and CHM 212. A survey of the biochemistry, physiology and anatomy of the endocrine system of vertebrates and selected invertebrates. Steroid, peptide, and terpenoid hormones that control reproduction, growth and other parameters will be discussed. Three lecture hours each week.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 362. Study of deep-sea biosphere, with emphasis on the biology of abyssal zones off the North Carolina coast and hydrothermal vent ecosystems. Topics include unique benthic and pelagic animals in deep-sea environments and their physiological adaptations to hydrostatic pressure and low temperature, nutritional dynamics, reproductive strategies, energy flow, and speciation in abyssal and ultra abyssal zones. Three lecture hours each week.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 345 or 355; BIO 362 or 366 or consent of instructor. Ecology and physiology of coral reef organisms, emphasizing processes that contribute to the function and complexity of coral reef ecosystems. Reef formation and geology, coral biology and physiology, ecological interactions, human effects, global effects, and conservation will be considered. Three lecture hours each week.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 201, 202; CHM 211 and junior status. Chemical properties and metabolism of amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids; enzymes kinetics; bioenergetics regulatory mechanisms. Three lecture hours each week.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 335, 366, and junior status. A scientific approach to the protection, maintenance, and restoration of biological diversity, including its ecological and evolutionary processes and total environment. Three lecture hours each week.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 201, 202, junior status or consent of instructor. Introduction to the biology of freshwater and marine microalgae. Focus on morphology, life histories, physiology, systematics and ecology. Three lecture and three laboratory hours each week.
-

Prerequisite: BIO 340. An in-depth study of the major groups of vascular plants with emphasis on structure, life histories, development, and phylogeny. Three lecture and three laboratory hours each week.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 201, 202 and consent of instructor (BIO 366 and credit in advanced zoology or botany recommended). A research/experienceoriented field course offered in selected regional locales. Emphasis is placed on distribution, taxonomy, and ecology of animal and/or plant organisms.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: six hours of upper level biology courses. Principles of wildlife ecology and management, including population dynamics, diseases, techniques, behavior, habitat manipulations, policy and administration, and contemporary issues such as antihunting. Assigned field problems. Three lecture hours each week.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 366. A survey of the crustaceans to include: anatomy, taxonomy, physiology, behavior, and diversity. Lectures will focus on basic crustacean biology for both economically important species and those animals frequently used in biological research. Three lecture hours each week.
