4.00 Credits
Adaptations, taxonomy, systematics, ecology, and behavior of southeastern Michigan flora and fauna. Techniques of field observation and recording are emphasized. Skills in the use of identification keys and guides are developed. The campus Environmental Study Area is used intensively. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory (with field trips). (S). 4.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours 4.000 Lab hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Laboratory, Lecture Natural Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division

4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the diversity of invertebrate animals from a functional evolutionary perspective. The lecture will focus on the unique aspects of the morphology, physiology, and ecology of major phyla in light of the selective forces that have favored their evolution, as well as consider the intersection of invertebrates and humans. Through dissection, prepared slides and field observations, the laboratory will introduce the diversity of invertebrate phyla and subgroups, with emphasis on form and function. 4.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours 4.000 Lab hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Laboratory, Lecture Natural Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division

4.00 Credits
A thorough survey of the evolutionary trends in plant reproduction and morphology will be considered. This survey will extend into the field of plant anatomy, but not plant physiology, which is covered in a separate course. Major groups to be studied include: bacteria, algae, fungi, liverworts, lichens, mosses, ferns, and seed plants. Certain less familiar groups will also be emphasized. Plant diversity will be examined from the perspective of its import to civilizations of the past and future. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory. (F, S). 4.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours 4.000 Lab hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Laboratory, Lecture Natural Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division

Physiological principles as they apply to the major plant groups. Topics include cellular metabolism, water balance, translocation, photosynthesis, mineral nutrition, growth and development and production of secondary substances. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory.

4.00 Credits
An introduction to nervous systems and how they function. This course includes the cellular physiology and anatomy of nervous systems in vertebrates and invertebrates, and how these cellular activities are integrated into systems to produce complex, coordinated behavior. Three hours lecture. (W). 4.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours 3.000 Lab hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
-
3.00 Credits
This class will provide intermediate and advanced undergraduates with a basic understanding of the function of the endocrine system. The course will progress from a consideration of basic concepts and mechanisms to the physiology (function) of specific endocrine systems. Interactions between organ systems will also be emphasized. Specific sections of the course will focus on function of the endocrine system during stress, fluid balance, metabolism (including calcium, glucose, lipid, and proteins), reproductive growth, development, and aging. 3.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences Department
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the unique features of birds as representatives of vertebrates, including their morphology, anatomy, physiology, physics of flight, mating systems, social structure, vocalizations, orientation and migration, origin and evolution, growth and development, and issues in avian conservation. The students will learn about the current research on bird migration at the Rouge River Bird Observatory on campus. Students will develop individual species analysis of life and natural histories. This course will fulfill three hours of organismal requirement for biology students. 3.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
-
3.00 Credits
Processes which change the genetic composition of populations: mutation, gene flow, drift, and natural selection. The origin of races, species, and higher taxa. Evidence of evolution from the geological record, comparative anatomy, comparative biochemistry and other sources. Three hours lecture. (W). 3.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
