1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 3453, 3534, or permission of instructor. May be repeated. Field-based studies of the flora and vegetation of a particular area. Readings and lectures focus on a regional flora, and the geohistorical, biogeographic, and ecological factors affecting vegetational patterns and dynamics. Observations of characteristic habitats and plant communities, and identification and recognition of important plants are stressed during field trips. No student may earn credit for both 4561 and 5561. (Irreg.)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 3453 or equivalent. Studies interactions between organisms and their environment with an earth-system context. Students will learn general concepts of ecosystems; examine major factors that control ecosystems properties; explore ecosystem functions and structure and their spatial and temporal variation; and evaluate implications of ecosystem processes for functioning of the global system and sustainable use by human beings. No student may earn credit for both 4623 and 5623. (F)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 1114, Biology 1134 or Microbiology 3812, and Microbiology 3813. A survey of the fungi, including diversity, biology, and significance in ecology and human affairs. No student may earn credit for both 4723 and 5723. (F)
-
0.00 Credits
1 to 3 hours. Prerequisite: two courses in botany and permission. May be repeated with change of content; maximum credit three hours per semester, nine hours total. Topics will include newly developing areas of the discipline. Taught at an upper-division level based on previous course background. No student may earn credit for both 4810 and 5810 for the same course content. (Irreg.)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 1114, or Zoology 1124, or Microbiology 3813 and 3812, or Biology 1134, 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, Sp)
-
3.00 Credits
Laboratory ( Crosslisted with Microbiology 4873). Prerequisite: junior standing or permission of instructor. Current techniques to explore molecular aspects of gene expression and regulation.
