3.00 Credits
An advanced course on integrative neuroscience, focusing on the neurocircuitry, neurotransmitters and modulators, and neuroendocrine actions necessary to produce behavior or environmentally relevant neural function. This course will include description of the integrative mechanisms that produce circadian rhythms, neuroendocrine reflex, sexual behavior, addiction, anxiety, learning, aggression, depression and social hierarchy. Prerequisites and Corequisites Prerequisite: One of the following courses with a grade of C or better: BIOL 425 or BIOL 426 or BIOL 428 or BIOL 429 or BIOL 430 Credits: 3
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the physiological adaptations of animals, principally vertebrates, to their physical environment and the influence of these adaptations on animal distributions. Topics include energy use, oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange, temperature, water and ion balance, and digestion and nutrition. Prerequisites and Corequisites Prerequisite: 1 biology sequence (either BIOL 151 + 153 or BIOL 161 + 162 + 163 + 164); grades for all prerequisites must be C or better. Note The course includes both lecture and class discussion components. Credits: 3
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a study of reptiles and amphibians including their life history, ecology, reproductive habits, physiology, systematics, and world-wide distribution. Prerequisites and Corequisites Prerequisites: BIOL 153 and BIOL 153L Co-requisite: BIOL 434L Credits: 3
-
3.00 Credits
This course complements Biol 434, and will emphasize identification of, and field experiences with, the reptiles and amphibians of western South Dakota. Prerequisites and Corequisites Co-requisite: BIOL 434 Credits: 1
-
3.00 Credits
Interpreting the morphological features of the 40+ major morphological body plans of extant and extinct animals in an evolutionary framework is the emphasis of this course. Fossils, animal interactions with the environment, and biomechanical constraints will be discussed. Prerequisites and Corequisites Prerequisite: 1 biology sequence (either BIOL 151 + 153 or BIOL 161 + 162 + 163 + 164); grades for all prerequisites must be C or better. Credits: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Biogeography is the study of the spatial distributions of plants and animals through time. The course will examine the distributions of plants and animals from the perspectives of both ecology (biomes, climates, vegetation) and evolutionary history (floristics and faunistics, phylogenetics, paleobiology). Prerequisites and Corequisites Prerequisite: 1 biology sequence (either BIOL 151 + 153 or BIOL 161 + 162 + 163 + 164); grades for all prerequisites must be C or better. Credits: 3
-
3.00 Credits
This course will provide students with an overview of both theory and technique of molecular evolution, molecular phylogenetics, and molecular population genetics. Topics covered will include application of protein and DNA based studies in phylogenetics, evolution, biogeography and conservation biology. Prerequisites and Corequisites Prerequisite: 1 biology sequence (either BIOL 151 + 153 or BIOL 161 + 162 + 163 + 164); grades for all prerequisites must be C or better. Credits: 3
-
