  • BIO 3012: Topics in Organismal Biology

    3.00 Credits
    Green Mountain College (Closed)

    This course is an in-depth exploration of organismal biology from taxonomic, evolutionary, and ecological perspectives. The credits are repeatable under different topics, which include Ichthyology, Ornithology, Entomology, and Mammalogy. Each of these is offered on approximately a three-year rotation subject to demand. The general course structure will include a study of the classification, systematics, evolutionary history, life histories, behavior, and ecology of the taxon in question with particular emphasis on species of the northeast. Laboratory includes in-residence work and extended field trips that focus on field identification and sampling/study techniques. Prerequisite: Either BIO 1033 Winged World or BIO 1034 From Fins to Fingers. 4 credits.

  • BIO 3021: Conservation Biology

    3.00 Credits
    Green Mountain College (Closed)

    This course explores how ecological knowledge can be brought to bear to protect diverse ecosystems, maintain viable populations of native species, and perpetuate ecological and evolutionary processes. Students will investigate scientific uncertainty and research priorities. Case studies will be used to investigate how to predict the effects of habitat fragmentation, resource depletion and pollution, habitat loss, and other human effects. Biology will be applied to ecosystem management, landscape design, and regional conservation planning. Prerequisites: BIO 2025 Ecology or permission of instructor. 3 class hours. 3 credits.

    3.00 Credits
    Green Mountain College (Closed)

    This course covers methods to obtain reliable estimates of population size and survival, with an emphasis on the relationship between scientific hypothesis testing and management of wildlife populations. This course consists of a mix of lecture, computer labs, and biodiversity surveys on the GMC campus. Students will come away from this course with an overview of both field methods and standard data analysis tools and software for estimating these important parameters. Prerequisite: BIO 2025 Ecology and ELA 1101/MAT 1015 Introduction to Statistics, or permission of instructor. 3 class hours / 2 laboratory hours. 4 credits.

  • BIO 3025: Advanced Topics in Ecology

    3.00 Credits
    Green Mountain College (Closed)

    This course is an in-depth investigation of subdisciplines within ecology. The topics will vary and include Forest Ecology, Plant Ecology, and Aquatic Ecology. Students will investigate the interaction of organisms and their environment at multiple spatial scales including organismal, population, community, ecosystem, and landscape ecology. The emphasis will be on both theoretical concepts and applied issues including management, conservation, and restoration. Reading will come from primary and secondary literature. Prerequisites: BIO 2025 Ecology and ELA 1101/MAT 1015 Intro to Statistics. 3 class hours. 3 credits.

  • BIO 3027: Forest Ecology and Management

    3.00 Credits
    Green Mountain College (Closed)

    An ecological approach to understanding forest structure and function and the effects of management activities on forest ecosystems. The course examines how forests are observed and measured, and how forest data can be used by the scientist, forester, or independent land manager to make land use sustainable. Emphasis will be on both theoretical concepts and their applications in management situations. Prerequisite: BIO 2025 Ecology. 3 class hours. 3 credits.

  • BIO 3072: Biology Field Trip

    3.00 Credits
    Green Mountain College (Closed)

    A study of the ecology of a region during an extended period of time in the field, focusing on comparisons of natural history, plant and animal adaptations, ecology, and conservation biology in a variety of ecosystems. Methods emphasize field observation, rapid assessment of ecosystems, and individual observational research by each student. Destinations, duration, and credit will vary. Prerequisite: BIO 1033 Winged World or BIO 1034 From Fins to Fingers, or permission of instructor. 4-day field trip with 5 class hours: 1 credit; 9-day field trip with 14 class hours: 3 credits; 3-week field trip with 14 class hours: 6 credits.

  • BIO 4003: Evolution

    3.00 Credits
    Green Mountain College (Closed)

    This course brings together prevailing knowledge, ideas, and controversies about and within the field of evolutionary biology. It is an in-depth examination of topics to which many biology students will have been introduced, but have not explored. These include historical and philosophical issues, origin and early development of life, general features in evolution of major life forms, use of systematics and the influence of molecular tools, the range of mechanisms thought to underlie evolutionary change, and current findings in human evolution. The laboratory will be focused around a population genetic problem for which the class will gather and analyze molecular data, with the goal of producing a publishable scientific study. Prerequisites: One of the following: BIO 1033 Winged World, BIO 1034 From Fins to Fingers, BIO 1035 Disease and Disorder, or BIO 1036 Solar Powered Life; and CHE 1021 General Chemistry I, or permission of the instructor. 4 credits.
