Labs focus on the diversity of invertebrate forms and include field trips. Three hours lecture, three hours lab.Fall, odd years.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisites: BIOL 141-142)Diversity of marine habitats and of the organisms that inhabit them. Lectures and discussion address the physical and biological factors that influence the distribution and ecology of organisms in the various marine environments, including intertidal, estuarine, benthic, coral reef, and open ocean communities. The effects of humans on the sea will be assessed. Three hours lecture.
-
3.00 Credits
Conservation biology is a multidisciplinary field that seeks to identify, understand and counter threats to the earth’s biodiversity. This course will provide students an understanding of conservation-related issues ranging from recognition of threats to biodiversity to preserve selection, design and management. Three hours lecture.Spring, odd years.
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on field studies of abiotic factors, flora and fauna, interrelationships and indigenous cultures in different tropical ecosystems of the Philippines. The course involves a three-week trip (extra funds required), with local excursions to unique tropical rainforests, coral reefs, mangroves and/or volcanoes. Enrollment limited.Intersession only.
