3.00 Credits
The causes and consequences of global climate change will be the focus of this course. We will examine the most recent predictions about the rate and magnitude of global warming, the extent to which human activities are responsible, and the likely consequences for plants, animals, and other components of natural ecosystems, and for agricultural ecosystems and human health. Each topic will include a detailed illustrated outline that summarizes the current evidence, consensus predictions, conclusions, controversies, and uncertainties. The last several weeks will be devoted to additional global change issues, including loss of biodiversity, introduced species, ozone depletion, and acid precipitation. This course is approved to cover the capstone requirement for the Biology and Biomedical Sciences majors. Prerequisites & Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOS 3010 or permission of instructor. Notes: The prerequisites to 5000-level courses are: Junior/Senior standing and at least 12 credits in biology including the specific prerequisite for each course. Credits: 3 hours Semester Offered: Fall, alternate years

Students will examine patterns of distribution and abundance of Homo sapiens and the ecological processes that generate these patterns, through lectures, reading, multi-media, interactive discussion and dissemination of research and understanding. We will also consider the concept of carrying capacity and the dynamics of human population change in relation to the human niche and changing patterns of resource availability. This course is approved to cover the capstone requirement for the Biology and Biomedical Sciences majors. Prerequisites & Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOS 3010 or permission of instructor. Notes: The prerequisites to 5000-level courses are: Junior/Senior standing and at least 12 credits in biology including the specific prerequisite for each course.

3.00 Credits
Interactions between plants and herbivores provide the foundation processes for most observable ecological patterns. These processes have organized patterns of species diversity through evolutionary history as well as contemporary space. In this class we will examine interactions between plants and herbivores over a wide range of scales, from thrips elephants, that often control the dynamics of other exploitative, competitive and mutualistic processes both within and among trophic levels. The class is interactive with computer simulations, presentations, a grant-writing exercise and discussion of relevant literature. This course is approved to cover the capstone requirement for the Biology and Biomedical Sciences majors. Prerequisites & Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOS 3010 or permission of instructor. Notes: The prerequisites to 5000-level courses are: Junior/Senior standing and at least 12 credits in biology including the specific prerequisite for each course. Credits: 3 hours Semester Offered: Spring, alternate years

3.00 Credits
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution is an advanced undergraduate/graduate course designed to provide students with a rigorous exposure to molecular data analysis and literature review. In this course students will learn the principles behind DNA data analysis for evolutionary studies. This will include phylogenetic analyses and studies of molecular evolution. Phylogenetic studies will involve the acquisition of comparative DNA sequence data, sequence alignment, conceptual models of nucleotide substitution, and tree analysis using parsimony,distance, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian methods of tree inference. For the molecular evolution portion of the course, we will investigate selected examples illustrating the effects of natural selection of DNA sequences. This course is approved to cover the capstone requirement for the Biology and Biomedical Sciences majors. Prerequisites & Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOS 2500 or permission of instructor. Notes: The prerequisites to 5000-level courses are: Junior/Senior standing and at least 12 credits in biology including the specific prerequisite for each course. Credits: 3 hours Semester Offered: Spring, alternate years
