-
1.00 - 15.00 Credits
Co-Op Ed Experience in Biol
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Functional and comparative anatomy of selected vertebrates with developmental and evolutionary perspectives. Lab will primarily consist of dissection and histological analyses of animals representing various vertebrate classes. Comparisons between animals at the same level, and to see diverse features superimposed upon a common pattern. 3 hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 211 and BIOL 362 or 263, or permission of instructor.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A study of enzymes and pathways involved in plant intermediary as related to plant cell structure, function and plant development. Topics include plant bioenergetics, biosynthesis of plant hormones and elicitor molecules, signal perception and transduction, and secondary metabolites (natural products). 3 hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 221 and BIOL 362 or BIOL 263, CHEM 232 or CHEM 235.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
A survey of local vascular flora, use of dichotomous keys in identifying plants, distinguishing features of common plant families, principles of plant systematics. Phylogenetic, biosystematic and nomenclatural concepts are considered. 2 hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab.
Prerequisite:
C- or higher in BIOL 221.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Principles of horticultural science including regulation of plant growth, propagation and breeding, plant nutrition, pruning, plant diseases and special topics related to individual types of plants. Laboratory includes propagation and handling of plants in the greenhouse and field trips. 2 hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 221 or permission of instructor.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
The chemical and biological interactions between plants and insects will be extensively examined with particular emphasis on the chemical ecology of important behaviors such as herbivory, oviposition, and pollination. The chemical communications between plants and insects will be examined regarding how plant-produced chemicals influence, both directly and indirectly, the behaviors of insects. Chemical, anatomical, behavioral, environmental and evolutionary concepts linked to plant-insect interactions will be examined. Unique laboratory experiences will include the design and implementation of an independent research project and the rearing of Lepidoptera to establish research colonies. 2 hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 221, BIOL 211, and either CHEM 231 or CHEM 235 or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Interdisciplinary study of current environmental problems and their implications on future habitability of the planet. Physical, biological and social aspects of alterations to ecosystems presented and solutions considered. Course includes lectures, open forums and student participation.
Prerequisite:
COMM 100, ENGL 110, junior status and at least one science (G2 block) and one social science course (G3 block).
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The basic concepts and principles of evolution and ecology. Topics include natural selection, genetic variation, macro- and microevolution, population genetics, evolutionary stable strategies, species concepts, biodiversity, extinction, reproductive strategies, population dynamics, the ecological niche concept, predation, competition, mutualism, parasitism, coevolution, biogeography, disturbance ecology, and ecosystem structure and function. 3 hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 101 or 100 with a grade of C- or higher; B- or higher in BIOL 100 for biology majors; C- or higher in BIOL 211 and BIOL 221; MATH 151, 160 or math equivalent; ENGL 110.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
An intermediate course that will explore population biology, species interactions, trophic structure, community organization, succession, island biogeography and biological diversity at a more advanced level than BIOL 343. The laboratory portion of the course will focus on the use of quantitative methods and manipulative experimental designs to verify fundamental principles and test new hypotheses. 2 hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab. Offered in fall or spring.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 343, MATH 151 or MATH 161, and BIOL 375.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Ecology, behavior, taxonomy and evolution of birds with emphasis on field studies. 2 hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab. Weekend field trips.
Prerequisite:
C- or higher in BIOL 211.
