3.00 Credits
3 cr. A study of the evidence, processes, and paths of evolution. Areas of emphasis include gradualism, punctuated equilibrium, mass extinctions, endosymbiosis, molecular genetics, and population genetics. Prerequisite: BI 112, 113 or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
3 cr. A study of functional behavior of animals, such as mate choice, feeding, parental care, predation, communication and social behaviors. Discussions of journal articles dealing with current research in these areas are a major part of this class.
-
3.00 Credits
3 cr. A study of major vertebrate groups emphasizing structure, function, and evolution. Variations on the vertebrate body plan and functional morphology of anatomical systems are used as a basis for understanding major adaptive changes in vertebrate evolution. Prerequisite: BI 112.
-
1.00 Credits
1 cr. Emphasis is on surveying and comparing the actual structures discussed in lecture. Organ and organ system similarities and differences are compared among the major vertebrate classes within the unifying concept of homology and evolutionary modification. Taken concurrently with BI 330.
-
3.00 Credits
3 cr. A study of the morphology, life history, host-parasite relationships, and control of protozoan, helminth, and arthropod parasites as well as the evolution of parasitism. Prerequisite: BI 110, 111 or equivalent.
-
1.00 Credits
1 cr. One-three hour laboratory period weekly learning techniques of identifying parasites throughout the phases of their life cycles using living specimens, prepared slides, kodachromes and Internet sites. Taken concurrently with BI 340.
-
3.00 Credits
