-
3.00 Credits
A survey of pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Morphology, virulence, diagnosis, and chemotherapy are considered. Some laboratory work. Alternate years. Prereq: BIOL 120 and BIOL 130; STAFF
-
3.00 Credits
The functional and evolutionary rationale of vertebrate anatomy is discussed, and comparisons between different taxa are drawn. Mammalian functional anatomy is emphasized. The laboratory deals with dissections of several mammalian species, drawing functional comparisons between the muscular, circulatory, nervous, visceral and skeletal systems of each. Prereq: BIOL 120, BIOL 210, or permission of the instructor; J. Mountjoy
-
3.00 Credits
The biology of animal developmental, respiratory, circulatory, immune, digestive, nervous, sensory, renal, muscle and skeletal systems is developed into an integrative model of how the body works. The course and laboratory are problem based and investigative. Prereq: BIOL 120 and BIOL 210; or permission of the instructor; J. Thorn
-
3.00 Credits
The main objective is to provide students with a knowledge of the microscope anatomy of the tissues and organs of the vertebrate body and with the basic techniques for preparing tissues for examination with the light microscope. Emphasis is on relating structure to function. Prereq: BIOL 120 and BIOL 130; L. Dybas
-
3.00 Credits
Gene structure, expression, replication, and recombination are the central focus of this course. Lab activities are centered on genetic engineering strategies and genomics (computer analysis of gene sequences). Three periods lecture and one period laboratory. Alternate years. Prereq: BIOL 130 and CHEM 101; or permission of the instructor; STAFF
-
3.00 Credits
Anatomical features and physiological processes that underlie the structure and function of leaves, shoots, roots and flowers are presented to build an integrative model of how plants work. Emphasis is placed on how plants respond to the environment. The laboratory is project based and investigative. Prereq: BIOL 130 and BIOL 210; or permission of the instructor; STAFF
-
3.00 Credits
How does the fertilized egg give rise to the adult body This is the focus of developmental biology. This course examines many important concepts in development, including determination of cell fate, embryo patterning and the processes of forming specialized organs and tissues. We also explore the connections between evolution and development. The course and laboratory are problem-based and investigative. Prereq: BIOL 130 and BIOL 210; J. Thorn
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to research methods in field biology, focusing on local species and habitats. Topics include species identification, field techniques, data analysis and scientific writing. Students design and conduct experiments individually or in groups. Prereq: BIOL 210, and one course from BIOL 312-BIOL 319; CL: ENVS 341; S. Allison
-
3.00 Credits
Principles and techniques used in electron microscopy and its role in studying organisms at the cellular level are studied. This course format is project-oriented and includes routine and special preparation of cells and tissues for the transmission and scanning electron microscopes, photographic techniques and the interpretation of electron micrographs. Prereq: BIOL 329 or permission of the instructor; Enrollment limited to 10 students; L. Dybas
-
3.00 Credits
Behavioral ecology examines the adaptive value of behavioral traits - how these traits enhance survival and reproductive success of individuals in the ecological and social environments in which they evolved. Discussions of the primary literature will be used to generate new research questions, and experiments and field studies will be designed to answer those questions. The resulting data will be analyzed and the findings presented orally and in scientific papers. Alternate years. Prereq: BIOL 210 and BIOL 312; J. Mountjoy, J. Templeton
