-
3.00 Credits
II; 2 cr (B-I). This web course explores how ecological principles can be used to address contemporary environmental issues such as water quality, invasive species, and population growth. Emphasis on midwestern issues, practical approaches, the role of history, and geographic context. P: Intro biology crse, interest in solving problems.

SS; 1-2 cr (I). Field techniques to inventory and census plant and animal species and ecological processes and how to assemble these into useful databases. Emphasis on 'keystone' and invading exotic species that strongly affect community dynamics. Aimed at science teachers interested in participating in a monitoring network. P: A crse in ecology (e.g. Botany 450, 460), interest in monitoring, & cons inst.

-
3.00 Credits
II; 3 cr (B-I). This course introduces students to the major features and mechanisms of early embryonic development in animals, including (1) the major stages of early development, (2) how form arises in the embryo (morphogenesis), (3) how differences arise between cells in the embryo, and (4) how specific genes control these processes. P: Zool 101 or Zool 151/152.
