Synthetic theory of evolution, including sources of genetic variability, Hardy-Weinberg, natural selection, genetic drift, balanced polymorphism, molecular evolution, speciation, and the origin of life. Three hours of class per week. Prerequisite: Biology 423 passed with a minimum grade of C- or higher. Course Type(s): ME
-
4.00 Credits
The study of major morphological changes during development and the analysis of causative factors. Model organisms used in the study of development include: sea urchin, nematode worm, Drosophila, frog, and mouse. Topics include: fertilization, growth, differentiation, morphogenesis, regeneration, and tissue interactions. The genetic control of development will be emphasized. This course is not open to students who have received a C- or higher in Biology 302. Prerequisites: Biology 110 and 423. Course Type(s): None

Two hours of class, two hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: Biology 110 passed with a minimum grade of C- or higher. Course Type(s): None
-
4.00 Credits
Biota of the oceans and inshore waters with emphasis on taxonomy, ecology, and distribution. Basic oceanography included. A field course supported by lecture and laboratory. Field trips outside of assigned class time may be required. Prerequisites: Biology 203 and 214, both passed with a minimum grade of C- or higher. Course Type(s): None
-
3.00 Credits
The principles of ecology and resource management are used to analyze contemporary environmental problems and highlight legislative, technological, and methodological solutions to environmental problems that move us toward a sustainable society. Prerequisites: Biology 110, 120, 220, 320 and Political Science 330 or Policy Studies 330. Course Type(s): ME, WT
-
3.00 Credits
A faculty-student collaborative research lab course. Students will work in small groups under faculty supervision to conduct comprehensive research on a project in molecular cell physiology determined by the directing faculty member. Students will experience all aspects of the research process, from developing hypotheses, planning and carrying out experiments using modern lab techniques and analyzing data, to preparing research results for publication. May be taken to extend research initiated in Biology 250. Limited to Junior or Senior biology majors. Prerequisite: Biology 310 passed with a minimum grade of C- or higher. Course Type(s): EX, MC

A faculty-student collaborative research lab course. Students will work in small groups under faculty supervision to conduct comprehensive research on a project in molecu- lar cell physiology determined by the directing faculty member. Students will experience all aspects of the research process, from developing hypotheses, planning and carrying out experiments using modern lab techniques and analyzing data, to preparing research results for publication. May be taken to extend research initiated by Biology 250A. (Students who do not need experiential education credit should register for Biology 450A. Students who need experiential education credit should register for Biology 450.) Limited to Junior or Senior biology majors. Prerequisite: Biology 310 or Chemistry 310. Course Type(s): MC
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to biochemical, molecular, and physiological aspects of the vertebrate endocrine system and mechanisms by which hormones maintain homeostasis in animals, including humans. Topics to be studied include: molecular structures; biochemical properties and interactions of different categories of hormones and their receptors; major endocrine systems that regulate reproduction, growth, development, and metabolism; neuroendocrinology, and pathophysiology of the endocrine system. Hormones and organs that influence processes such as calcium homeostasis, digestion, salt balance, carbohydrate metabolism, and sex differentiation and development will be examined. Endocrine regulation of male and female reproductive organs and reproduction will also be discussed, including the hormonal control of fertilization, implantation, placental function, pregnancy, parturition, lactation, and contraception. Prerequisite: Biology 310 or Chemistry 310 or twelve credits in Biology. Course Type(s): MC, ME
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Provides an opportunity for students to fulfill the experiential education requirement by pursuing a short-term cooperative work experience in biology or who are currently employed in a biological or medical field to integrate the work with a related academic component. This course may be repeated for credit. Prerequisites: Overall GPA of 2.00; Junior standing with at least six credits in biology courses. Course Type(s): EX
-
1.00 Credits
A seminar course with presentations by guest scientists as well as students. Gauges students' abilities to draw upon a broad background of coursework and experience to organize, present, discuss, and evaluate topics of current interest in biology. Prerequisite: Senior standing; open only to Biology majors. Course Type(s): None
