  • BIO 606: Conceptual Methods in Ecology And Evolution

    3.00 Credits
    University of Kentucky

    This course provides students with hands-on experience in a diverse array of conceptual research techniques used by ecologists and evolutionary biologists. The focus will be on optimization methods used for predicting animal and plant behaviors and life histories, and on methods for assessing population trends and dynamics. Mathematical techniques used will include graphical analyses, matrix algebra, calculus, and computer simulations. The latter part of the course will consist of collaborative modeling projects, in which small groups of students will work with the instructor to address an important contemporary research problem and will report their results in a public talk and a project writeup. Prereq: One year of calculus and BIO 325 or FOR 340 or ENT 665, or consent of instructor. (Same as ENT/FOR 606.)

  • BIO 607: Advanced Evolution

    2.00 Credits
    University of Kentucky

    This course covers advanced topics in evolution, concentrating on questions central to the understanding of general evolutionary processes. Phenomena occurring both within populations (e.g., selection, inheritance, population subdivision) and between populations (e.g., gene flow, competition) will be addressed. Special attention will be given to modern research approaches and techniques including quantitative genetics, measurement of selection, phylogenetic analyses of comparative data and molecular systematics. Prereq: One year of calculus, genetics (BIO 304 or BIO 461) and BIO 508 or consent of instructor. (Same as ENT/FOR 607.)

  • BIO 608: Behavioral Ecology And Life Histories

    2.00 Credits
    University of Kentucky

    This course uses an evolutionary approach to examine behavior and life histories. Topics addressed include: the optimality approach, constraints on optimality, kin and group selection, predator and prey behaviors, social and mating behaviors, and life history evolution. Prereq: BIO 325 and one semester of calculus; or consent of instructor. (Same as ENT/FOR 608.)

  • BIO 609: Population And Community Ecology

    2.00 Credits
    University of Kentucky

    This course discusses the processes that determine population distributions and dynamics and community structure for both plants and animals. Topics addressed include: population regulation and population stability, community diversity and stability, ecological succession, population interactions (competition, predation, mutualism), coevolution, and the effects of spatial and temporal heterogeneity on population and community patterns. Prereq: BIO 325 or FOR 340 or consent of instructor. (Same as ENT/FOR 609.)

  • BIO 611: Biopathology

    3.00 Credits
    University of Kentucky

    The course will examine the mechanisms by which various biological, chemical and physical agents injure susceptible hosts and the complex biochemical and immunological reactions which occur in response to injury. The host defense mechanisms will be illustrated by an analysis of selected human diseases and animal model systems with particular emphasis on the events at the molecular and cellular level. Prereq: BCH 502 or concurrent, BIO/MI 494G or equivalent and consent of instructor. (Same as MI 611.)
