4.00 Credits
The organs and systems of selected vertebrate animals are studied comparatively in laboratory. This is a course in laboratory dissections with lectures covering the evolution of the chordates. Two lecture and four - laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: BIO 2305. Offered during the spring semester of odd-numbered years.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the principles of parasitism and other aspects of parasite biology using human parasites as models. Parasites causing human disease will be studied with emphasis on the occurrence, transmission, reservoirs and methods of control. Animal parasites, especially those of domestic animals, will also be included when appropriate. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: BIO 2305 and 2306 Offered during the spring semester of odd-numbered years.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to subdisciplines of microbiology, primarily medical microbiology, this course will focus on epidemiology of the causative agents of human infectious diseases and an overview of immunology. Laboratory will include experiences with aseptic techniques, isolation and identification of microorganisms, serological testing and methods of control of microorganisms. Three lecture hours and two, 2-hour laboratories per week. Prerequisites: BIO 2305 and 2306.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides the opportunity for students to learn about.and appreciate the animals that make-up about 95% of animal species on Earth. We will study their historical presence, extant distributions, identification, anatomy, physiology, and behavior. Three lectures and one 3 hr laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 2305 and 2306. Offered during the fall semester of even-numbered years.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will provide the opportunity for students to survey the classes and major orders of an extremely "successful" group of animals.Wewill study the evolutionary history, morphological /physiological /behavioral adaptations, habitats, and conservation of these organisms, as well as techniques that are commonly employed to capture live vertebrates. In addition, students will gain experience using a dichotomous key to identify those species that they are most likely to encounter in western Kentucky. Three lectures and one 3 hr laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 2305 and 2306. Offered during the spring semester of odd-numbered years
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
An opportunity for the biology major to carry out a research project (library, laboratory and/or field) under the supervision of a Biology Department faculty member. Prerequisite: biology major and permission.
-
1.00 Credits
A further study of the topics presented in BIO 2114, but with additional emphasis on experimental design, statistical interpretation, design and production of graphs and other figures and oral presentations in biology. Students will prepare and present a report (library or laboratory) as a requirement for this course. One hour lecture per week. Prerequisite: zoology major.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of biological processes larger in scope than the individual organism. Adaptation to the physical environment, population biology, community interactions and ecosystems will be considered. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: BIO 2305 and 2306.
-
4.00 Credits
In terms of age, longevity, species diversity and numbers, fishes comprise the most abundant and diverse Class of Vertebrates to have existed on Planet Earth. Students will learn fish taxonomy, morphology, identification, physiology, behavior, ecology, etc. Students will also learn about some aspects of fisheries biology, public aquaria and field techniques. Additionally, this curse will provide a good background for students interested in careers in wildlife conservation, fish & wildlife and as park rangers. Offered during the spring semester of even-numbered years.
