  • BIO 530: Biogeography And Conservation

    3.00 Credits
    University of Kentucky

    An introduction to the geographic patterning of biological diversity, exploring its origins, dynamics, and present trends. Examines the interplay among physical conditions, ecological interactions, evolutionary processes, and the historical movements of organisms and land masses as they have combined to affect the distribution of species, with particular attention to the application of biogeographic knowledge to current problems of species loss and conservation. Prereq: Two semesters of introductory biology or physical geography, or consent of the instructor. (Same as GEO 530.)

  • BIO 556: Communication Biology

    3.00 Credits
    University of Kentucky

    Animals sense and respond to numerous signals from their environment by using sensory modalities attuned to visual, auditory, chemical, and electromagnetic cues. This course is an in-depth examination of the physiological bases of sensory input and the interactive, motor system-mediated, behavioral repertoires exhibited by different species in response to such inputs. Prereq: BIO 325 or BIO 350.

  • BIO 560: Environmental Physiology And Toxicology

    4.00 Credits
    University of Kentucky

    Emphasis will be placed on the physiological and toxicological effects of chemicals on natural biota, including considerations at cellular, organismal, population, and community levels. This will include assimilation and metabolism of pollutants by animal species, with emphasis upon biochemical and physiological mechanisms involved in stress-induced responses and stress reduction. Additional areas of concern will include the transport, fate, and effects of chemical stressors on structure and function of biotic communities and will include introductions to ecotoxicology and environmental regulatory strategies. Lecture, three hours; recitation, two hours per week. Prereq: BIO 350 or PGY 502 or equivalent or consent of instructor. (Same as TOX 560.)
