Directed laboratory research performed under the guidance of faculty member. Four to twelve hours laboratory. Permission of Instructor. (F,S).
-
3.00 Credits
Current issues in biology based on an inquiry approach to learning with a primary emphasis on laboratory, field observations, and discussion. Students will help to develop the specific topics within the subject areas that include the environment, heredity, and health. Projects will have direct applications for classroom teaching. Lecture and laboratory. Permission of School of Education advisor. Teacher experience. (S).
-
3.00 Credits
This course will examine the biological, ecological and societal impacts of invasive species. Major issues including characteristics of invasive species, invaded communities, origins and success rates of invaders, economic and health effects, methodologies and regulatory strategies for dealing with invasive species will be discussed. Students will investigate an invasive species and make oral and written reports.
-
3.00 Credits
An advanced treatment of the principles of ecology especially as they relate to environmental problems and environmental management. This course is intended for graduate students only. Students should have earned a C or above in Ecology (BIOL/ESCI 304) or equivalent. (AY).
-
4.00 Credits
Advanced course based on the comparative study of the structure and function of lakes, wetlands and rivers. The physical, geological, chemical and biological characteristics of natural and disturbed ecosystems will be emphasized. (F, AY).
-
3.00 Credits
The study of the structural and functional relationships and productivity of organisms in lakes and streams as they are regulated by their physical, chemical and biotic environments. BIOL/ESCI 304 or ESCI 275 required. Not open to undergraduates or students who have taken BIOL/ESCI 414.
-
3.00 Credits
An in depth examination of wetlands from functional, habitat and management perspectives. Topics include hydrology, soils, biogeochemical cycling, biological adaptations, major wetland types, regulation, restoration and creation. Two all-day Saturday field trips required.
-
3.00 Credits
An in depth examination of how evolutionary processes shape behavior, focusing on the influence of natural, sexual, and kin selection. Topics include behavioral genetics, natural selection, sexual selection, kin selection, optimality, game theory, evolutionary stable strategies, phylogenetics, and the comparative method. Additional assignments will distinguish this course from the undergraduate version.
-
3.00 Credits
Restoration Ecology is an interdisciplinary course that develops theories and practices that help rehabilitate impaired ecosystems towards a sustainable state. Bioremediation and phytoremediation are some approaches to be discussed. Short-term site management is discussed, often including continued resource or recreational use, with the eventual site sustainability in mind. (F, AY)
