3.00 Credits
GER: NE (Humans and the Natural Environment) Prerequisite: BIO-101, 102 or 111 Introduction to plant biology as it pertains to human society. Topics include: life cycles, structure/function relationships, and uses of plants in society. Emphasis on medicinally and economically important plants. Lab exercises reflect the importance of plants as sources of food and medicine. 4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO-111 Lecture and laboratory comparative study of the embryology and adult anatomy of representative chordates. Laboratory dissections include the dogfish shark and the cat. 4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO-222 Survey of the major and minor phyla, with an emphasis on arthropods (arachnids, crustaceans and insects). Includes the taxonomy, ecology, behavior and physiology of representative organisms. Laboratories include field trips, specimen collection and preservation, and dissection. 4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO-222 Taxonomic techniques, natural history and phylogenetic relationships of vertebrates. Emphasis on mammals, reptiles and amphibians. Frequent laboratories and field trips (including at least one overnight) to observe, identify and collect animals. 4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
GER: NE (Humans and the Natural Environment) Prerequisite: any BIO course and permission of instructor Travel study course focusing on biodiversity, ecology and physiology of marine organisms, especially as they relate to organismal adaptations to the environment. Includes examination of the influences of humans on the marine environment. 4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
(formerly BIO-53) Prerequisite: BIO-342 and permission of instructor Ecology of the Andes Mountains. Emphasis on the unique flora and fauna endemic to this region. Ecological and behavioral studies in the Galápagos Islands as viewed from an evolutionary prospective. Taught in South America. 4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO-221 and 222 Embryonic changes studied at the genetic, biochemical, cellular, and spatial levels. Growth, metamorphosis, tumors, and aging are also studied. Emphasis is on mechanisms of developmental processes, rather than on anatomy. Laboratory involves handling and manipulating living embryos of several species. 4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
GER: NE (Humans and the Natural Environment) Prerequisite: BIO-222 Technical introduction to fisheries, forestry, wild-life, and land management. Laboratories include identifying common game species and learning techniques of forestry and wildlife management. Field trips (including two overnights) to view resource management and utilization in action. 4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
GER: NE (Humans and the Natural Environment) and NW (Empirical Study of the Natural World) Prerequisite: permission of instructor. BIO-340 or 341 recommended. Travel study course focusing on floral and faunal compositions and analysis of species interactions in a variety of habitats and ecological communities not found in South Carolina. Usually involves camping, hiking and travel by water in areas such as New England, Rocky Mountains, desert Southwest, Everglades or foreign countries. Variable credit.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO-221 and 222 Evolutionary mechanisms that change the genetic structure of populations. Patterns of evolutionary change documented by the fossil record, biogeography, comparative anatomy and genetic similarity. Labs include experiments in Drosophila evolution, computer simulations, and at least one field trip (fossils). 4 credits.
