-
1.00 Credits
Sensory physiological principles with emphasis on visual and chemical cues. Laboratories will use behavior to measure physiological processes. (Given at Beaufort.) Prerequisites: AP Biology or introductory biology or consent of instructor and Chemistry 31L. Instructor: Rittschof
-
1.00 Credits
Processes affecting births and deaths of organisms and the way these processes determine the distribution and abundances of populations. Animal behavioral decisions; mating; one-, two-, and many-species systems; stochastic processes; evolutionary ecology; and fundamentals of community ecology. Examples of human population dynamics, and concepts of population regulation. Human impacts on animal populations. Mathematical techniques, including matrix models, differentiation, and differential equations, will be developed. Prerequisite: Mathematics 31 or equivalent. Not open to students having taken Biology 110L. Instructor: Wilson
-
1.00 Credits
How animal behavior is shaped by natural selection, historical factors, and ecological constraints. These factors considered in the context of mating systems, parental care, foraging, and other current issues in behavior. Prerequisite: Biology 19 or 25L or 102L. Instructor: Alberts or Leal
-
1.00 Credits
Non-writing intensive version of Biology 166. Instructor: Alberts, Leal
-
1.00 Credits
Principles of instrumental learning in animals and humans. Topics include elicitation, classical conditioning, reinforcement, punishment, problem solving, behavioral economics, and verbal behavior. Focus on empirical data, quantitative analysis, research methodology, and technologies generated from learning research. Prerequisite: none, but some knowledge of quantitative science desirable. Instructor: Schmajuk
-
1.00 Credits
A comparative and integrative study of primate sex and reproduction. The material is presented in three sections: the first focuses on primate social organization, mating systems, and reproductive strategies; the second focuses on the endocrine system and behavioral endocrinology, and; the third focuses on sexual differentiation of morphology, brain and behavior. In each section, this course places human sexuality within the broader context of the primate order. Prerequisites: Evolutionary Anthropology and Anatomy 93(D) or Biology 25L. Instructor: Drea

In each section, this course places human sexuality within the broader context of the primate order. Note: course is the same as EvAnth 171 but with an additional required 50 minute discussion. Prerequisites: Evolutionary Anthropology and Anatomy 93(D) or Biology 25L. Instructor: Drea.
-
1.00 Credits
Concepts of ecosystem ecology within the ethical, social and political context context of current environmental policy issues. Lectures, discussions and class activities examine environmental policy issues, linkage between ecosystem science and political issues. Prerequisites: Biology 110L or 116 or other course in ecology or Environment 49S, or by permission. Instructor: Bernhardt
-
1.00 Credits
Cities turn natural lands into impervious surfaces, like roofs and parking lots, while trees, forests, and grass decrease. Course covers urban environmental issues, including energy and carbon, air, heat, and water pollution, the health and welfare of people, and changes in other species and regional/global climatic patterns. Examines costs/benefits of urban nature on solving urban environmental problems, including enhancing the social welfare of people's lives. Instructor: Wilson
-
1.00 Credits
An introduction to conceptual and methodological issues raised in contemporary biology, including teleology, reductions, the units of selection, and the structure of evolutionary theory. Prerequisites: Biology 25. Instructor: Brandon or Rosenberg
