4.00 Credits
4 credits Students will be introduced to the fascinating creatures that live in the sea, their unique environment and incredible diversity. They will identify organisms from microscopic plankton, to sponges, seastars and other invertebrates, as well as bony fish and sharks. The classification, anatomy, physiology, homeostasis and unique ecological adaptations of marine organisms will be explored. The focus of the class will be on life along the Oregon coast. The role of humans in the sustainability of these habitats will also be examined. Class discussions, computer work, experiments in the wet lab and weekend field trips to tide-pool areas will be conducted.

4.00 Credits
4 credits An overview of whole organisms examining structure and function of tissues, organs, and organ systems. Through lab, internet explorations, computer activities, lecture, and discussions, students will study many body systems, which may include digestive, circulatory, immune, respiratory, excretory, nervous, musculoskeletal, and reproductive. The structure and function of plants may also be included.

4.00 Credits
4 credits This course presents an overview, from an evolutionary perspective, of the vertebrate animals: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Emphasis is placed on structure and physiology, unique adaptations to different habitats, and natural history of the different organisms. The course includes laboratory, lecture, discussion, computer, internet, and group activities.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits The relationship between inheritance, genetic conditions and human body systems they affect. Current issues in genetics and their impact on ethics and values are integrated into the study of human genetic variations and disorders.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Forest Biology provides an introduction to the discipline of comparative biology. The emphasis is on developing a general understanding of forest organisms and their structural and physiological adaptations to one of the most important ecosystems on earth: the coniferous forest of the Pacific Northwest. Through lab and field investigations, computer activities, lecture, and discussions, students will study plant and animal body systems and their requirements for nutrition, growth and reproduction, function of the vascular system and responses to pathogens. Throughout the course students will explore connections between the biological interactions that take place in forests and human activity that affects forest organisms. Community service projects in forest biology may be integrated into course activities. All inclass field trips are required and there may be one out-of-class required trip.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Explores the human body, including the following human organ systems: circulatory, respiratory, urinary, reproductive, nervous, muscular, skeletal, lymphatic, digestive, and endocrine. The course will be offered as a web-based instructional unit. Course content will be presented on a CD-ROM with multiple WWW linkages. May be offered through Distance Learning.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Explores the Native uses of plants by the original peoples of the Pacific Northwest, past and present, in class and through required field trips. Addresses world views and belief systems of Native people regarding plants, and how these views and beliefs were affected by non-Native explorers and settlers. Introduces the structure and function of plants and how those features allow plants to be useful to people. Examines structure and function of certain human organ systems and the ways in which plants do and do not affect us. The question will be addressed which is more sustainable, an indigenous or a modern way of interacting with the plant world and with each other.

4.00 Credits
4 credits Fulfills a science requirement for non-science majors. General biology is taught either as a survey or through term special emphasis classes. For each quarter, several emphasis classes are available.. Note: BI 101, BI 102, BI 103 course numbers have suffixes to indicate different special emphasis topics. BI 103A, BI 103B, BI 103C, BI 103D, etc., are considered equivalent. Thus, only one of the BI 101's and one of the BI 102's and one of the BI 103's can be used to meet the science requirement, and any additional course credits will be used as electives for a Lane degree.

4.00 Credits
4 credits Students will explore the natural history and incredible diversity of birds in Oregon. They will learn how to identify many Oregon species as well as study bird behavior, habitat use, evolution, classification, adaptations, and ecological relationships. Field trips, laboratory exercises, lecture, discussion, internet and computer activities will be utilized in the learning process. A variety of field trips will include the Oregon coast, Willamette Valley, and other Oregon birding sites.

4.00 Credits
4 credits Students will study the structure and function of different environments and habitats, along with the plants, animals and other organisms that live in them. Topics will include evolutionary and ecological relationships, life cycles, identification, plant-animal interactions, and natural history. Field trips, laboratory exercises, lecture, discussion, internet and computer activities will be utilized in the learning process. One section each summer may be taught in Costa Rica.
