  • BIOL 318: Evolution

    3.00 Credits
    Knox College

    This course provides a detailed examination of evolution by natural selection, the central theory in the study of biology. The material covers a broad range of evolutionary ideas, including the development of Darwin's theory; the modification and elaboration of that theory via the modern synthesis and current theories of how evolution works; the evidence for evolution; evolutionary processes at the molecular, organismal, behavioral, and ecological levels; patterns of speciation and macro-evolutionary change; the evolution of sex; and sexual selection. Alternate years. Prereq: BIOL 110 and BIOL 210; or permission of the instructor; J. Mountjoy

  • BIOL 319: Conservation Biology

    3.00 Credits
    Knox College

    This course examines a dynamic and rapidly developing field. Conservation biology is the study of factors which influence both the diversity and scarcity of species. In particular, we concentrate on how human activities influence global biodiversity. We also discuss local biodiversity.

  • BIOL 320: Ethnobotany

    3.00 Credits
    Knox College

    Ethnobotany is the study of the interactions of plants and people, including the influence of plants on human culture. In this course, we examine the properties of plants used for food, fiber, and medicine. We examine how plants are used in developed nations and by indigenous peoples. We focus on ethnobotanically important local native plants in labs and in term papers. Prereq: BIOL 110 and BIOL 120; or permission of the instructor; CL: ENVS 320; S. Allison
