3.00 Credits
The study of natural history is an endeavor in understanding themyriad of parameters that contribute to the complexities of the natural world. This course is designed to explore, through lecture, labortory, and field studies, the geological, climatic, biological, and ecological aspects of the environment of Illinois. Offered alternate spring semesters.
-
3.00 Credits
An exploration of animal behavior from an evolutionary perspective. After examining the theory of natural selection, this concept will be applied to topics including territoriality, foraging ecology, antipredator behavior, sexual selection, and altruism. An examination of experimental studies testing hypotheses about these behaviors will be used to explore these topics. Prerequisites: 101 and 102. Offered as needed.
-
4.00 Credits
An examination of eukaryotic cell structure and function, covering cellular membranes; organelle and cytoskeletal function, biogenesis, and organization. The regulation and coordination of these processes will also be examined. Four hours of lecture and four hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisitee: 101, 102 or consent of the instructor. Offered each fall.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of ethical and social issues arising out of the rapidly developing fields of reproductive biology and genetics. In the first quarter of the course, students will be introduced to different ethical theories; in the remainder of the semester, they will look at specific ethical issues. Issues examined may include those that arise in connection with RU-486, surrogacy, IVF, sex cell storage, cloning, and human stemcell research. Offered occasionally.
-
1.25 Credits
An in-depth study of the life histories of parasites and the medical, environmental, and economic impact of parasites to human and animal populations. Emphasis will be placed on evolution of parasite-host relationships and on the environmental consequences and cost of parasite treatment and control. Prerequisites: 101, 102 or 107 and 108 or permission of the instructor. Offered in alternate years, spring semester.
-
1.25 Credits

-
1.25 Credits
Principles of normal function in various animals including control system regulation ranging from molecular to organismal levels. Four hours of lecture and four hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisites: 101 and 102, organic chemistry or general physics, or consent of instructor. Offered each fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Laboratory experience in the use of instruments, equipment and techniques commonly employed in histological preparation. Prerequisites: 101 and 102, consent of instructor. Offered as needed.
-
1.25 Credits
