3.00 Credits
(Spring; Yearly; 3.00 Credits; CW,N) A laboratory course designed to cover standard molecular biology and biochemistry techniques. Skills will be learned while pursuing some aspect of current faculty research. Intended as an introduction to the research experience in the study of nucleic acids and proteins. Strongly recommended for student considering summer internships and/or senior research in these areas. Prerequisite or corequisite: BI316 and permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
(Fall; Yearly; 4.00 Credits; CW,N) A combined laboratory and lecture course which examines the function of cells, tissues, organs, and systems. Physical, Mathematical, chemical, and anatomical concepts are integrated to gain a comprehensive appreciation of the dynamics of living organisms. Students are introduced to the use of physiological instrumentation, experimental design, collection and statistical analysis of data, and preparation of scientific manuscripts. Laboratory experiments amplify and complement the lectures. Prerequisites: BI207 or permission and Junior or Senior standing.
-
3.00 Credits
(Spring; Yearly; 3.00 Credits; CW,N) A comprehensive approach to the study of cells, with emphasis on molecular techniques and understanding the primary literature. Analysis of the cell at the molecular level emphasizes a unity in the principles by which cells function. Prerequisites: BI 207 and CH 301.
-
3.00 Credits
(Fall; Yearly; 3.00 Credits; N,CW) This course offers comprehensive investigation of the concepts and mechanisms of development, including ganetogenesis, fertilization, pattern formation and organogenesis. The course examines classical and molecular approaches examining problems of development. Students are expected to present research from current literature in the field. Prerequisites: BI207.
-
3.00 Credits
(Variable; Variable; 3.00 Credits; N) Examines the comparative biology of living mammals, including taxonomy, evolution, biogeography, ecology, morphology, physiology and behavior. Special attention is given to conservation issues, the relevance of mammals in modern biological research, and field techniques for studying mammals. Prerequisites: BI105 or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
(Variable; Yearly; 3.00 Credits; N) This course provides a comprehensive survey of the comparative biology, ecology, and behavior of birds with a special focus on issues pertaining to conservation and management. Laboratory activities focus on field identification of birds and research and monitoring techniques. Several field trips are possible with one possible 3 day trip to Assatteague Island. Prerequisite:BI113.
-
3.00 Credits
(Fall; Yearly; 2.00 Credits; CW,N) Primarily an ecology course, but also included is a significant amount of plant identification/classification and plant epochology. The ecology portion will cover the whole spectrum of this fast-growing field; from communities and ecosystems to theory and adaptation. Corequisite: BI 326. Prerequisites: BI105 and junior/senior standing.
-
3.00 Credits
(Fall; Yearly; 2.00 Credits; CW,N) The first 10 weeks are devoted to laboratory work on the identification of the local entophyte flora. Students are required to make a personal collection representing a minimum of 8 families and are expected to become proficient in using a scientific manual. During the 5th and 6th week there is a mandatory all day field trip to collect forest data. An extensive paper on forest succession will be due by semester's end. Note: A special fee is assessed.Corequisite: BI325.
-
3.00 Credits
(Fall; Yearly; 3.00 Credits; N,CW) Focuses on the structure, function, growth, genetics and ecology of viral, bacterial, and fungal microorganisms. Basic concepts are emphasized and topics important to the quality of human life are examined. Corequisite: BI 332. Prerequisites: BI207 and Jr. or Sr. standing.
-
3.00 Credits
(Fall; Yearly; 1.00 Credit; N) Presents procedures and experiments which demonstrate basic micro-biological concepts and techniques. Illustrates and augments the content of the lecture. Note: A special fee is assessed. Corequisite: BI331.
