4.00 Credits
Examines the functional characteristics of vascular plants through the study of anatomy, morphology, and physiological ecology. Investigates the anatomical characteristics and physiological mechanisms that impact plant performance and survival, as well as adaptations to resource and environmental variation. Two 4-hour lecture/laboratory sessions. Prerequisite(s): BI 211 , BI 212 , BI 213 .
-
4.00 Credits
Surveys morphology, lifecycles, microbial ecology, and evolutionary history in the diverse assemblage of organisms classified as algae and fungi. Focuses on symbiotic associations involving cyanobacteria, protists, and fungi, with an emphasis on lichens. Uses current scientific literature to explore both theoretical questions and practical applications of knowledge about these organisms to environmental problems, pathogens, and management of natural resources. Three lectures, one 3-hour laboratory, and weekend field trips. Prerequisite(s):
BI 211 , BI 212 , BI 213 .Corequisite(s): BI 436L
-
3.00 Credits

Prerequisite(s): BI 340 .
-
4.00 Credits
Examines the morphology, life histories, systematics, ecology, floristics, and biogeography of mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Emphasizes methods of field study, survey and collection protocols, training in microtechnique and microscopy needed for laboratory procedures, and use of technical literature for identification. Two 4-hour lecture/laboratory sessions and weekend field trips. Prerequisite(s): BI 211 , BI 212 , BI 213 .
