3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 12 hours of biological science coursework. The human economy currently entrains more than 40% of global net primary production. This human demand for energy and the effluent subsequently produced have pervasive effects on natural systems and human welfare. This course uses primary literature to guide discussion of ecological, legal, and societal issues affecting biodiversity in North America and globally. Topics range from organism centered approaches to conservation to broader implications of alterations of global processes such as elemental cycles and atmospheric temperatures. No student may earn credit for both 4563 and 5563. (F-even numbered years)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 3333 or permission of the instructor. This lecture/discussion course will examine the use of population genetic/ecological genetic principles in the study and management of populations of threatened and/or endangered species. No student may earn credit for both 4573 and 5573. (Sp)
-
0.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 4423 or 5423, or 4463 and 4471, or permission of instructor. May be repeated with change of content; maximum credit 6 hrs. detailed study of fundamental or contemporary topics within limnology, such as Biogeochemistry, nutrient cycling, ecological stoichiometry, biodiversity, and predator-prey and food-web dynamics in aquatic communities. No student may earn credit for both 4670 and 5670 on the same topic. (Sp)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 12 hours of biological science coursework including 2013 and 3333. Theory and practice of inferring evolutionary history from molecular and morphological data.

-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 3103 or 3113 or permission of instructor. Introduction to cellular and behavioral neurobiology.

-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 1114 or 1124, or Botany 1114, or Microbiology 3813 and 3812, and one course in organic chemistry. Introduction to the characteristics and biological functions of nucleic acids and proteins in living cells with emphasis on nucleic acid replication, transcription, translation and regulation; also emphasis on the molecular aspects of microbial genetics-transformation, transduction and conjugation; and emphasis on molecular immunology and genetic engineering/recombinant DNA technology. No student may earn credit for both 4843 and 5843. (F)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: eight hours of zoology including, 1114 and 1121 or 1124, or permission of instructor. Introduction to neural control of movement through reading and discussion of key original research articles from the 19th century to the present. Students lead discussions and write essays addressing a general question, utilizing data from the articles; stduents in 5863 write an additional essay. Topics include localization of function, sensory vs. central contributions, roles of single neurons, effects of neuromodulators, and motor learning. No student may earn credit for both 4863 and 5863. (F)
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. May be repeated; Maximum credit three hours. A seminar course designed to develop a student's abilities to interpret and critically evaluate research in cellular and behavioral neurobiology.

-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. This course will bring together the study of natural animal behavior (ethology) with the study of the neural control of behavior (neuro-).
