  • BIOL 300: FIELD BIOLOGY

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    FIELD BIOLOGY~Study of various ecosystems in temperate, tropical, desert, montane, and marine environments covering the diversity of plant and animal species and their structural and functional adaptations. Each time the course is offered it concentrates on a particular geographic area and its distinctive habitats and organisms, interactions and interrelationships among the organisms, and the abiotic factors that constrain populations. May be taken more than once for credit if taken in different geographic areas, but may serve only once toward a biology major. Prerequisites: Biology 141, 142, or Biology 151, 152 or permission.

  • BIOL 302: FIELD BOTANY

    4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    FIELD BOTANY~An in depth survey of vascular plants in the field, emphasizing identification, morphology and ecology. Techniques for sampling plant communities are presented along with techniques for preservation of botanical materials. Characteristics of major plant families are presented. Prerequisites: Biology 141, 142, or permission.

  • BIOL 303: FIELD ZOOLOGY AND ECOLOGY

    4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    FIELD ZOOLOGY AND ECOLOGY~An in depth study of field techniques in animal behavior and ecology. Methods for the sampling of animal populations, including description of home ranges and territories and individual behaviors of animals are presented. Techniques for quantifying variables affecting abundance, distribution and behavior are studied. This is an off campus course. Prerequisites: Biology 141, or permission.

  • BIOL 304: RESEARCH METHODS/FIELD BIOLOGY

    4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    RESEARCH METHODS IN FIELD BIOLOGY~Field biology is the study of organisms in their natural environment. There are two important components of field biology: taxonomy and ecology. Taxonomy is the science of identifying and naming species, and ecology is the study of how organisms interact with their environment. In this course, we will learn to identify the fauna of the J. H. Barrow Field Station and learn basic research techniques used in field research including studies of distribution and dispersion, habitat association, and community structure. Prerequisites: Biology 141 or Biology 142 or Environmental Studies 122.

  • BIOL 310: FISHERIES BIOLOGY

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    FISHERIES BIOLOGY~A study of factors that determine the health of world fisheries including: biological factors (population cycles, ocean regime changes, competition and predation), land use factors (on-shore development, pollution, estuarine influences, oil spills, water use), political factors (economic and cultural issues, nutritional and fish resource fads and use, recreational issues, international, state and federal issues) and conservation factors (animal rights and resource use issues). Prerequisites: Biology 141 or Interdisciplinary 225. The breakdown between lecture and lab hours is for administrative office use only. This course may only be taken as 4 credit hours.

  • BIOL 315: SYSTEMATICS OF VASCULAR PLANTS

    1.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    SYSTEMATICS OF VASCULAR PLANTS~Survey of vascular plant diversity, morphology, life history, and evolution including fern allies, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms. Some topics on principles and methods of classification are introduced. Laboratory work on each of the divisions of vascular plants complements and illustrates lecture material. This course is linked with Biology 316. Prerequisites: Biology 151 and 152, or permission. Biology 315 is offered in the 12-week term and is followed immediately by Biology 316 in the 3-week term.

  • BIOL 316: SYSTEMATICS OF VASC PLANTS II

    0.00 - 3.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    SYSTEMATICS OF VASCULAR PLANTS~A continuation of Biology 315 with emphasis on diversity, evolution, and classification of the families of flowering plants. Principles and methods of classification also are covered and continued from Biology 315. Laboratory work is on recognition, identification, and keying vascular plants in the field and laboratory. Most of this course is done off campus in the southeastern U.S. or another destination during the spring 3 week term or the summer. Prerequisites: Biology 151 and 152; or permission. Biology 315 is offered in the 12-week term and is followed immediately by Biology 316 in the 3-week term.

  • BIOL 320: INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY~The rise of animal multicellularity is traced from the precambrian through the various evolutionary radiations of the cambrian explosion to produce a survey of phylogeny, paleobiology, morphology, physiology, development, behavior, and ecology of invertebrates conducted in a comparative manner. Recent advances in our understanding of invertebrate evolution from current primary literature are incorporated into the class. Terrestrial, freshwater and marine forms are studied in lecture, laboratory, and field trip experiences. Evolution of phylum and class adaptive radiations are emphasized. Prerequisites: Biology 151, 152, or permission.
