3.00 Credits
Through lecture and discussion of research articles, students learn mechanisms of nervous system development, from the birth and differentiation of neurons to the formation of synapses and circuits. Focus is on classical experiments done in vertebrates (Xenopus tadpole, chick, zebrafish, and mouse) and invertebrates (nematode and drosophila). Prerequisite: ZOO 4280, or graduate standing.
-
5.00 Credits
Integrates concepts of vertebrate ecology with the art of wildlife management, stressing approaches to deal with the inherent uncertainty of managing populations. Strategies to increase or decrease populations of target species, tools used to determine population status (e.g., viability analysis, monitoring, habitat assessment), and ecosystem management approaches. Laboratory included. Dual listed with ZOO 5300. Prerequisites: LIFE 3400, STAT 2050 or 2070, and ZOO 2450.
-
3.00 Credits
Acquaints students with theory and techniques of inland fisheries management.

Dual listed with ZOO 5310. Prerequisite: ZOO 4330.
-
3.00 Credits
Analyzes basic principles of human genetics, emphasizing genetic counseling and medical genetics. Dual listed with ZOO 5320. Prerequisite: BIOL 4000. (Offered in spring semester of odd-numbered years, alternating with ZOO 4250)
