  • Biology 258: Ethnobotany

    3.00 Credits
    St Lawrence University

    Ethnobotany is an interdisciplinary field drawing on concepts from both natural and social sciences to investigate human-plant interactions. This course illustrates the importance of plants in our everyday lives and the influence of human activities on plant populations. Independent projects center around surveys and experiments on socioeconomically important plants. Field trips and labs explore Native American reservations, botanical gardens, greenhouses, nature reserves and plant population survey techniques. Three hours lecture and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: Biology 221 or 224. Major credit restricted.

  • Biology 270: E ndocrinology

    3.00 Credits
    St Lawrence University

    Endocrine glands and the messengers they produce can have profound effects on how organisms respond and adapt to their environment. This course examines the production and function of hormones in different organisms. Topics include the types and functions of endocrine glands (e.g., hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid and adrenal) and the ways hormones act as chemical messengers with various target cells. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisites: Biology 101,102. Counts toward the neuroscience major (cellular and behavioral tracks).

  • Biology 288: Introduction to Neuroscience

    3.00 Credits
    St Lawrence University

    This course provides students with a basic understanding of the architecture and processing of information in the brain. Particular emphasis is placed on the cellular properties of cells in the nervous system and how these biophysical properties affect information processing. To this end, students learn neuroanatomy and use computer models to gain insight into the computational power of the brain. Other topics include development of the nervous system, neurophysiology of sensation, and homeostatic control mechanisms. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisites: Biology 101,102. Recommended: Biology 245, 246 or 250. Required for the neuroscience major.

  • Biology 303: Biometrics

    4.00 Credits
    St Lawrence University

    A study of the techniques and theory utilized in numerical analyses of biological data. Statistical considerations of biological sampling designs, sample description and hypothesis testing are covered, as well as measures of minimum adequate sample size, density, diversity and association. Multivariate techniques are practiced, along with extensive use of Monte Carlo techniques. Readings from current biological literature supplement text and laboratory work. Prior coursework in introductory statistics is required. Also offered through Statistics.

  • Biology 309: Biochemistry

    4.00 Credits
    St Lawrence University

    The course is organized around several themes: the relationship of structure to function in biomolecules, production of energy, regulation and control of metabolism. Topics covered to illustrate these themes include enzyme action and regulation, hemoglobin and the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide, metabolism of carbohydrates for energy production, structure and function of biological membranes, and structure and function of molecules involved in transmission and expression of genetic information. Prerequisite: Chemistry 222 or permission of instructor. Counts toward the neuroscience major (cellular track). Also offered as Biochemistry 309 and Chemistry 309.
