  • BIO 303: Ecology

    4.00 Credits
    McKendree University

    Ecology is the study of the diverse interactions between organisms and their environment, both living and non-living. These interactions drive the organization of life at many levels from individuals to ecosystems. This course examines the connection between ecological interactions and the organization of life, including the evolutionary responses of organisms, population dynamics, energy and nutrient cycling in ecosystems, community structure and global ecology. There will be a required field trip early in the semester. The class meets for three hours of lecture each week and one three-hour laboratory period each week. Prerequisites: BIO 110, 111 and CHE 105, 106, or consent of instructor. Annually, fall.

  • BIO 340: Developmental Biology

    3.00 Credits
    McKendree University

    This course focuses on the fundamental events of embryonic development, with an emphasis on genetic and molecular approaches used in modern experimental embryology. As modern developmental biology employs information and techniques from many different fields of biology, this course provides the challenge of learning and integrating diverse topics in biology, including cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, and evolution. We explore the common features of development that are shared by different kinds of organisms and emphasize how diverse organisms use the same signaling and regulatory molecules during embryogenesis. This course meets for three hours of lecture each week. This course satisfies either the cell/molecular or organismal elective area. Prerequisites: BIO 110, 111, 211 and CHE 105, 106, or consent of instructor. Alternate years, spring '10.
