-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Principles of inheritance in living organisms, including the modern concepts of "gene" action and DNAstructure and function. Three lecture, three laboratory hours each week.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Introduction to taxonomy, systematics, and ecology of vascular plants. Course includes field trips throughout western New York and northwestern Pennsylvania; plant identification and classification; develop extensive herbarium. Two lecture, six laboratory hours each week.
-
4.00 - 10.00 Credits
Comprehensive study of marine ecosystems including the foundations of physical and chemical oceanography as they impact the ecology of marine organisms. Overview of structure, physiology, and ecology of marine life from phytoplankton to whales. Labs cover the representative marine divisions (plants) and phyla (animals) and may include a field trip to the northeast Atlantic coast.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to freshwater aquatic ecosystems with emphasis on lakes. Includes the study of physical, chemical and biological factors which influence ecosystem function and health. Lake management and conservation included.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of the interrelationships among living organisms, their physical and biological environment, and human impacts. Laboratory introduction to ecological techniques and field studies of local and state ecosystems. Three lecture, three laboratory hours each week.
-
4.00 - 10.00 Credits
Provides an introduction to the biological study of animal behavior. Lecture topics will focus primarily on why animals behave as they do and, to a lesser degree, how they get the job done. Topics to be covered include: genes and behavior, learning, organization of behavior, communication, mating systems, parental investment and cooperation. Three lecture, three laboratory hours each week. Prerequisite: BIOL 151, 152.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of forests and their interactions with physical, chemical, and biological factors in the context of ecosystems at the Star Lake Campus. Includes physiognomy, nutrient cycling, climatic factors, soils, fire and disturbance, succession, and harvesting and management. Lab includes forest mensuration and analysis and introduction to SILVAH. Three lecture, three laboratory hours each week. Prerequisites: BIOL 322 or 301.
-
4.00 - 9.00 Credits
Focuses on the relationship between animals and their environments including basic principles, theory, applications, and Christian stewardship as applied to animal ecology. Lab is field-oriented including telemetry and tracking, demographics, niche partitioning, foraging strategies, and habitat selection. Three lecture, three lab hours per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 151, 152 and 322.
-
4.00 Credits
Theoretical and clinical approaches to study of innate and adaptive immune systems: antigen recognition, immune response, immune system, and its pathologies. Three lectures, three lab hours each week.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
The course provides an introduction to the biochemistry of cells, transport across membranes, cell-to-cell signaling, organelle function, and protein targeting, with an emphasis on methods in molecular and cell biology. Three lecture hours and one three-hour lab per week. Labs will focus on molecular techniques such as cloning, PCR, generation and purification of recombinant proteins, and blotting techniques (DNA, RNA, and Protein). Prerequisite: BIOL 251.
