Theoretical issues in ecology and evolutionary biology are discussed, including models of population growth and community interactions, behavioral ecology, population and quantitative genetics, macroevolution, and current controversies. Senior status required. Prerequisites: BI 213, 215 and permission of the instructor. Offered spring semester.
-
8.00 Credits
One unit. A minimum of eight hours per week of supervised research on a selected topic culminating in a research paper using format of any preferred scientifi c journal in biology. A minimum of 10 references to the selected topic are required. Students taking this course for credit may not use the research experience to meet requirements for the Senior Refl ective Tutorial. Offered fall and spring semesters. Permission of the instructor is required. Prerequisites: The following four foundation Biology courses (213, 215, 217, and 219). Students not majoring in Biology should seek permission of chairs of his/her own department and of the Department of Biological Sciences.

8.00 Credits
One unit. A minimum of eight hours per week of supervised research on the same selected topic as in BI 493. A rare student has the possibility of completing the research started as BI 493 for publication consideration. The course culminates in a research paper using the format of the scientifi c journal selected for consideration for publication. An additional 10 references to the selected topic are required. Offered fall and spring semesters. Permission of the instructor is required. Prerequisite: BI 493.

3.00 Credits
One unit. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly. An examination of current knowledge concerning eukaryotic cell structures and functions. Topics covered include cell organelles, membranes and membrane traffi cking, the nucleus and nuclear membrane, cell signaling and communication. A molecular perspective is emphasized throughout the course. Cross-listed as Microbiology 495. Senior status required. Prerequisites: BI 213, 219 and permission of the instructor. Offered spring semester.

0.00 Credits
Two or zero units. Research or teaching experience for at least 210 hours at a research facility or in a teaching laboratory where there is supervised, hands-on involvement in daily activities. The student will maintain a log describing day-to-day activities and the times and hours worked. A fi nal paper in which the student evaluates the work experience is required. Other possible requirements will be determined by the faculty member overseeing the student's progress. The student's on-site supervisor will completea written evaluation of the student's performance and submit it to the faculty supervisor. Students registered for this course as BI 497G will receive a letter grade; those registered as BI 497P will be taking the course on a pass/fail basis; those registered as BI 497N will be taking the course for no credit ( registration fee required). This course cannot be used to meet requirements for the senior Refl ective Tutorial in Biology (BI 400) nor does it count towards completion of the requirements for the biology major. Interested students should contact the Center for Academic and Career Development. Prerequisites: BI 213 and permission of department chair. Offered as needed.
-
6.00 Credits
1 unit. Six hours of combined lecture and laboratory weekly. The principles and use of the transmission and scanning electron microscopes are covered. Students learn the basic techniques of electron microscopic tissue processing and microphotography. Each student must prepare a fi nal technical report including examples of their own microphotographs. Prerequisites: BI 213, 215, 217, 219 and CH 111, 112. Not open to students completing MI 615. Offered as needed.
-
3.00 Credits
One unit. Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory weekly. A course in the application of molecular knowledge to the problems of genetic engineering. A comparison between the genetic systems of prokaryotes and eukaryotes and their role in molecular genetic techniques used in the fi elds of molecular biology and microbiology is explored. The development of current concepts and methods in molecular genetics as they apply to research, agriculture, industries, pharmaceutical companies and medicine is studied. The laboratory explores the most current techniques used in recombinant DNA technology as it relates to the course material. Cross-listed w/MI 524. Prerequisite: BI 311. Offered as needed.
-
1.00 Credits
One unit. Weekly lecture(s). Discussion and analysis of problems in Biology that are not covered in regular course work. The specifi c content of the course remains fl exible in response to student and departmental interest. Special topics may be taken more than once with differing subject matter. Offered periodically; consult the department chair.
