  • BIOL 203: Non-vascular Plants

    2.00 Credits
    Randolph-Macon College

    A detailed study of the morphology, cytology, systematics, and evolution of algae, fungi, and slime molds. Lectures will emphasize the life cycles and development of selected organisms whereas the laboratory will allow students to gain firsthand knowledge of these organisms by direct observation of living and preserved material. Research methods used in studying these organisms will also be covered in the lecture and the laboratory. Field trips for the collection and subsequent identification of specimens are included in the laboratory. This course will be offered each year in the fall Term. Two lectures and two twohour laboratory periods weekly. Prerequisites: BIOL 121-122. Four hours. Mr. Martin.

  • BIOL 230: Ichthyology

    4.00 Credits
    Randolph-Macon College

    An introduction to the study of fish, the most diverse group of vertebrates on Earth with over 20,000 species. This course will explore the evolutionary history, anatomy, taxonomy, physiology, ecology, behavior, and zoogeography of these interesting creatures. In lab we will collect and identify many of the 210 freshwater species inVirginia and learn about their habitats, life-histories, and the problems we face in conserving this valuable resource. Offered alternate years. Four hours. Mr. Gowan.

  • BIOL 235: Marine Biology

    3.00 Credits
    Randolph-Macon College

    A field-oriented introduction to the interrelationships between marine and estuarine organisms and their environment. A major part of the course will be an 8-10 day field trip to Jamaica. Pre-trip lectures and post-trip concluding sessions will focus on a general ecological survey of the marine and estuarine environment stressing ecological relationships at the individual, population, community and ecosystem level. The role of adaptation will provide a central theme as various habitats are explored through field studies emphasizing quantitative data collection and analysis. Prerequisite: BIOL 121-122. Offered alternate years. Four hours. Staff.

  • BIOL 248: Entomology

    1.00 - 3.00 Credits
    Randolph-Macon College

    An introductory course in entomology with emphasis on insect biology, diversity, and identification. Lectures will consider insect structural and functional relationships, behavior, ecological aspects, and adaptive success. The first half of the laboratory deals with morphology, classification, and identification while the second half will be primarily field study and collection of insects. An extensive collection of representative orders and families is a major requirement for the course. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 121-122. Offered alternate years. Four hours. Staff.

    Randolph-Macon College

    A study of the normal structure (gross and microscopic) and functioning of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems of the human body. Laboratory work emphasizes the anatomical aspects of the systems, using a cat as a dissection specimen. Six hours of combination lecture and laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 121-122.

  • BIOL 260: Vertebrate Field Biology

    1.00 - 2.00 Credits
    Randolph-Macon College

    A field-oriented course emphasizing field identification, natural history, and ecology of all vertebrates in general and local species in particular. Lectures will be devoted to a sys- tematic survey of each vertebrate group emphasizing evolutionary patterns and adaptations as well as ecological relationships both within and between groups at various taxonomic levels. The field portion of this course will emphasize identification and student ecological research in an effort to understand more fully the natural history of local vertebrate fauna. Occasionally, laboratory sessions will be held to investigate comparative morphology of major groups in an effort to understand evolutionary relationships and functional adaptations associated with major adaptive radiations. Two one-hour lectures and one four-hour field laboratory per week. In addition, 2-3 Saturday or weekend field trips will be required during the semester. Offered alternate years. Prerequisite: BIOL 121-122. Four hours. Staff.
