Fall, Summer, DL Lab fee will be required. Biology 210 focuses on an in-depth study of the field of ecology, with an underlying theme throughout the course being ecology froman evolutionary perspective. Beginningwith the consideration of the organism as a unit, the course will investigate the concepts of tolerance and niche as a means to understand the more complex interrelationships between organisms and their surroundings. Of particular interest will be ecological relationships at the community level, including competition, predation and trophic level energetics. Physiological ecology (heat, energy and water budgets) and the dynamics of population ecology will be emphasized as students gain insight into the workings of the natural world. Pre- or co- requisite: MATH 150, College Algebra and Trigonometry or permission of the department chairperson.

Spring, DL Lab fee will be required. This course is designed to investigate the relationship of the human community with the natural environment. The human influence upon the earth will be studied in terms of a variety of factors including, but not limited to: economic, social, political, cultural and scientific. Past, current and future trends relative to population, pollution and resource utilization will be investigated. Prerequisite: High school biology and chemistry or equivalent.

This course provides a systems approach to the study of human anatomy and physiology, emphasizing skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems, as well as cells, tissues, skin, joints and special senses. Laboratory classes are designed to reinforce the lecture material and include dissections of vertebrate specimans. This course will provide a strong base in preparation for more advanced courses such as Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology. Offered Fall, Spring.

Fall, Spring, Summer Lab fee will be required. This course provides a systems approach to the study of human anatomy and physiology, emphasizing cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, endocrine, and reproductive systems, as well as metabolism and acid-base balance. Laboratory classes are designed to reinforce the lecture material and include dissections of vertebrate specimens. This course is intended to prepare the student for further study in courses such as Exercise Physiology. Prerequisites: BIOL 230, Anatomy and Physiology I or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
Spring, Summer, DL This course is intended to familiarize the student with the field of animal behavior and give students the ability to interpret various behaviors of animals in an evolutionary context. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to discuss the origination of behaviors in an evolutionary context.

4.00 Credits
Fall Lab fee will be required. This course provides a survey of major invertebrate groups, with emphasis on evolutionary and ecological perspectives. Laboratory will include microscopic study and dissection of representatives of invertebrate phyla, as well as studies of such representatives in their natural environment.

Offered on demand. The course will outline the body's lines of defense with an emphasis on antibody-antigen reactions, cells responsible for the immune response and their interactions, and the structure and synthesis of antibodies. The response of the body to specific conditions, such as pregnancy, immunization, transfusions, and tumors will be investigated. Prerequisites: BIOL 150, General Biology I and BIOL 151, General Biology II or BIOL 190, Biology I and BIOL 191, Biology II.

4.00 Credits
Spring This course is an introduction to ornithology, the branch of biology that studies birds. Lectures, laboratories and field experience will be used to study the anatomy and physiology of birds, adaptations for flight, evolution and classification, behavior, ecology and conservation. Many laboratories will involve field work aimed at developing identification skills for resident and migratory birds of New York State. Attendance at one of two full-day field trips on a spring weekend is required. Students must provide their own binoculars. Prerequisites: BIOL 104, Topics in Biology- The Environment or BIOL 150, General Biology I or permission of the department chair.

3.00 Credits
Spring A seminar course designed to introduce the advanced Biology student to modern biological research methodology and issues. Emphasis is placed on experimental design, laboratory setup and operation, bioethics and oversight, data handling, and critical evaluation of relevant literature. Field trips to local research and commercial labs will be involved. Prerequisites: BIOL 190, Biology I and BIOL 191, Biology II or permission of the department chair.
