-
1.00 - 1.50 Credits
Structure, function, and development of invertebrates collected from estuarine and marine habitats. Not open to students who have taken Biology 274L. One course (fall, spring, and Summer Term II); one and one-half courses (Summer Term I). (Given at Beaufort fall, spring, and summer.) Prerequisite: AP Biology or introductory biology or consent of instructor. Instructor: Kirby-Smith or staff
-
1.00 Credits
Overview of the bony and cartilaginous fishes, including their taxonomy, anatomy, functional morphology, and physiology. Aspects of their relationship with humans, specifically how fish biology and life history affect this relationship. Lectures and discussion of current scientific literature, and field/lab experiences to explore and collect data on local fish populations. Quantitative genetic techniques to explore fish population and community structure. (Given at Beaufort.) Prerequisite: AP Biology or introductory biology or consent of instructor. Instructor: Nowacek
-
1.00 Credits
Ecosystem, community, and physiological ecology of temperate plants and animals through hands-on experimentation. How biological processes are affected by biotic interactions. Theory and methods reviewed through discussions; hypothesis formulation, experimental design, data acquisition and processing, and data analysis learned through field investigation. Includes several field trips, including two weekends. Prerequisites: Biology 19 or 25L or 110L or 116 or other course in ecology or consent of instructor; Mathematics 31. Instructor: Wright
-
1.00 Credits
Explore the stream, wetland and reservoir ecosystems of NC. Through hands on inquiry and field experimentation students will gain experience in formulating hypotheses, designing field observations and experiments, analyzing field data and interpreting field results. In addition to weekly field labs, the course will include two weekend field trips, one to the Duke Marine Lab and the second to the NC mountains. Prerequisites: Biology 19 or 25L or 110L or 116 or other course in ecology or consent of instructor; Mathematics 31. Instructor: Bernhardt
-
1.00 Credits
Marine ecology from a molecular view focusing on microbes as the dominant organisms in ocean ecosystems. Lecture and laboratory integrate the theory and application of modern molecular techniques to quantify abundance, to assess diversity and to determine the interaction of microbes with each other and the marine environment. Prerequisite: AP Biology, introductory biology, or permission of instructor. (Given at Beaufort.) Instructor: Johnson
-
1.00 Credits
Application of contemporary molecular techniques to biological problems. Questions addressed on protein-DNA binding, protein domain structure and function, differential gene expression, protein localization. Techniques include genetic transformation, gel mobility shift assay, Western blot, Northern blot, PCR, RT-PCR, microarrays, immunolocalization, DNA sequencing. Students learn to write three scientific-style papers on their experiments. Prerequisite: Biology 101L or 118 or 119. Instructor: Armaleo
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to microbiology from a marine perspective. Topics include microbial phylogeny, evolution, symbiosis, biotechnology, genomics, and ecology. Laboratory will employ modern molecular techniques to investigate the ecology and evolution of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes. Prerequisite: AP Biology, introductory biology, or permission of instructor. (Given at Beaufort.) Instructor: Hunt
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to the principles of evolutionary genetics. Genetic variation, neutral theory, natural selection, human population genetics, phylogenetic reconstruction, evolutionary genomics, and evolutionary bioinformatics. Prerequisites: Biology 19 or 25L or 102L. Instructor: Mitchell-Olds or Noor
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to research methods in the marine sciences through lectures and customized individual independent research.

Draft manuscript and proposal for future research and travel to meeting required. (Given at Beaufort, summer) Prerequisite: AP Biology or Introductory biology and permission of instructor. Instructor: Staff
-
1.00 Credits
Credit for Advanced Placement on the basis of the College Board Examination in biology. Equivalent to Biology 25L as prerequisite
