-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to basic principles and theories in zoology (evolution, systematics, vertebrate morphology and relationships) and geology (geologic time, earth history, plate tectonics, sedimentation and stratigraphy), focusing on the evolutionary history of Dinosauria. May not be counted for major coursework in either department or for general education requirements. (F) [II-NL]
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 1114 and 1121, or 1124, and 2012 or concurrent enrollment. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the scientific method, how it applies to biological research, and implications for biomedical issues. The course will also introduce students to research in the four core areas of study in the Zoology department (physiology, ecology and systematics, animal behavior, and cellular, genetic, and developmental biology) while emphasizing three basic themes in biology (homeostasis, biological diversity, and evolution). (Sp)
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 1114 and 1121, or 1124. An introduction to professional aspects of the biomedical sciences including basic biostatistics and data interpretation, critical evaluation of scientific literature, and discussion of case studies in biomedical ethics. Emphasis will be placed on the medical relevance of important generalizing themes in biology, including evolution, homeostasis, and biodiversity. Critical thinking and evaluation of current issues in medicine and medical research will be incorporated into class activities. (Sp)
-

Prerequisite: eight hours of biological science. Process of evolutionary change. Topics include origin of species, evolution above the species level, major transitions of life on earth, application of evolutionary principles in medicine and conservation. (F, Sp)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 1114 and 1121, or Biology 1134. A survey of the invertebrate animals featuring their classification, morphology, life history, ecology, conservation considerations and evolution. Laboratory (Sp)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 1114 and 1121 with a grade of C or better, or 1124 with a grade of C or better; a course in chemistry or physics. May not be applied for zoology major credit.

-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: sophomore standing. Study of ecological principles and their applications to human systems, study of population, air pollution, water pollution, energy issues, etc. Laboratory exercises focus on learning scientific methods of measurement of environmental quality factors. Laboratory (Sp) [II-LAB]
-

Prerequisite: 1114 and 1121, or 1124, or Biology 1134, Mathematics 1523 or 1643 or higher, or permission of instructor. The connections between basic mathematics and how biological data are organized, tested, and interpreted. Includes review of probability theory, introduction to parametric and non-parametric biostatistics, fundamentals of experimental design, and sketches of how optimality theory can be used to generate biological questions. (Sp even-numbered years)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 1114 and 1121, or 1124, or Psychology 1113. A comparative survey of the anatomy and physiology of visual, auditory and olfactory systems, as related to their biological significance.
