  • BIO 11 5: Hormones and Your Health

    3.00 Credits
    Le Moyne College

    This course for non-science majors, designed to fulfill the core science requirement, will introduce students to the importance of appropriate hormone function to their health. Students will learn basic concepts of hormone production, release, circulation throughout the body, and how hormones are required for proper body function. Alterations of normal hormone function by environmental toxins, one’s health status and common medications will also be discussed. Three hours of lecture per week. Does not carry biology major credit.

  • BIO 125: Ethnobotany:The Plants People Use

    3.00 Credits
    Le Moyne College

    This course examines plants and their biology, focusing on those used by people. Ethnobotany studies the use of plants in indigenous societies, but also fosters awareness of plants used by industrialized cultures and plants of historical importance. Fundamental scientific and botanical concepts advance an understanding of diet, herbal medicines, plant products in manufacturing, biotechnology and conservation biology. Three hours of lecture per week. Does not carry biology major credit.

  • BIO 126: Earth’s Global Environment:Iceland

    3.00 Credits
    Le Moyne College

    Understanding Earth’s ecological environment requires study of the delicate balance between geological, biological, climatologic and anthropogenic processes. This introductory course offers students the opportunity to study these fundamental processes in Iceland, a country where the fragile nature of this environment, and the processes that shape it, are readily observed. Separate fees are required for the field component of the class.

  • BIO 128: Global Ecosystems:Costa Rica

    4.00 Credits
    Le Moyne College

    Understanding the function of ecosystems around the world, particularly those that exist within a sensitive climatic balance, is important for all students. This introductory course offers students the opportunity to study the fundamentals of evolution, ecology and earth science culminating in a two-week field experience in Costa Rica. Students will explore the principles of scientific investigation: comparisons of floral and faunal diversity in high-altitude (cloud) versus low-altitude (rain) forests: comparisons of highland and lowland soils; types of volcanic activity in an active volcanic arc: effects of volcanic activity on ecological diversity and soil formation: and operation of coastal processes on a geologically young coastline. Lectures, readings and discussions will be conducted at Le Moyne as well as at the field sites. Satisfies core science requirement. Additional fees will be required for this course.

  • BIO 131: Ecosystems and the Biosphere

    4.00 Credits
    Le Moyne College

    Principles of ecology are not just words in textbooks; they govern our everyday lives. In this course we will explore particular aspects of ecosystem structure and function that are prominent in central New York. Class discussion and specific field activities will focus on processes and ecological systems such as Onondaga Lake, disturbed and undisturbed soil communities, the use of geothermal and wind energy in the area and solid waste disposal/cycling within ecosystems. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory per week. Does not carry biology major credit.

  • BIO 132: Endocrine Toxicology

    3.00 Credits
    Le Moyne College

    Students enrolled in this course will learn basic concepts associated with hormone production, release and circulation, as well as how hormones are required for proper body function in humans and other vertebrates, and insects and plants as time allows. Disorders associated with abnormal amounts of hormones and the relationship between hormones and behavior will be discussed. In addition, basic concepts of toxicology will be covered including classes of toxins, how toxins are processed in cells, bioaccumulation, and how toxins are dispersed in the environment. Improper use and disposal of toxins have caused adverse effects in all living things; therefore, the last portion of the course will focus on how environmental contaminants have altered the function of endocrine systems in wildlife and humans. Does not carry biology major credit.
