-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Field-based or community-based experience in entomology under supervision of a faculty member. Pass/Fail only. Prereq: Permission of faculty member and department chairperson and completion of a departmental learning agreement before registration.
-
3.00 Credits
The principles of forest entomology, including the detection, collection, identification, appraisal of damage, and control of forest insect pests. Lecture, two hours; laboratory, two hours. Prereq: One year of biology or consent of instructor. (Same as FOR 402.)
-
3.00 Credits
Molecular genetics is the study of the biochemical basis of heredity and focuses on the structure and expression of DNA at the molecular and cellular level. The course will provide a detailed understanding of the biochemical events involved in genome replication, prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription, and translation of DNA, as well as RNA processing, recombination and the theoretical underpinnings of genetic engineering. Prereq: ABT/ASC/ENT 360 or BIO 304 or consent of instructor. (Same as ABT 460.)
-
3.00 Credits
This survey course examines the population dynamics and equlibria of genes in nuclei, chloroplasts and mitochondria. Emphasis will be on biological relevance (in plants, animals, and micro-organisms), but some theoretical derivations will also be introduced. Prereq: ABT 360 (or equivalent) and one course in probability/statistics. (Same as ABT/BIO/FOR 461.)
-
3.00 Credits
Principles of insect damage, populations and distributions. Various types of natural and applied control, including problems of insecticide toxicity, resistance and residues. Prereq: ENT 300 or ENT 310 or ENT 320.
-
3.00 Credits
Spiders are fascinating in their own right, and also are major predators in terrestrial food webs. This course examines the ecology and behavior of spiders as model predators in systems ranging from undisturbed forests and meadows to agroecosystems and the urban landscape. While focusing on spiders, the course also intertwines two general sub-themes: (1) the advantages of employing diverse approaches (e.g. field and laboratory experiments, non-manipulative observations, and meta-analyses) in ecological and behavioral research; and (2) the strengths, and limitations, of using model organisms to develop and test theory. Prereq: One year of undergraduate biology.
-
3.00 Credits
Discussion of arthropod parasites and disease vectors. Topics include an overview of disease transmission and public health, epidemiology, vector biology, important arthropod groups and their control. Prereq: One year of biology. (Same as BIO 561.)
-
4.00 Credits
Protozoan, helminth and arthropod parasites of man and domestic animals, emphasis on etiology, epidemiology, methods of diagnosis, control measures, and life histories. Techniques for host examination and preparation of material for study. Prereq: BIO 150, 151, 152, 153 or consent of instructor. (Same as BIO 563.)
-
4.00 Credits
A study of insect taxonomy including the collection, preparation, and identification of adult insect specimens. Prereq: Consent of instructor. (Same as BIO 564.)
-
3.00 Credits
The principles of animal behavior will be stressed using insects as examples. Physiology, mechanisms, behavioral ecology and evolution of insect behavior will be covered. Prereq: One year of biology. (Same as BIO 568.)
