Advanced course offered on various topics chosen by faculty members or resulting from student requests. Taught as a regular course, with students attending the same classes and laboratories. Topics include some taught in the past, such as Biological Membranes: A Seminar on Structure and Function. This course may be repeated for credit when topics vary. Prerequisites: Permission of instructor. 2-4 credits. (IRR)

3.00 Credits
General survey of parasitism throughout the animal kingdom, with special attention to parasites important to human and veterinary medicine. Topics include: systematics, morphology, and life cycles of parasites; coevolution of hosts and their parasites; the use of parasites and parasitoids as biological control agents of pest species; and the influence of parasites on population biology and community structure of host species. Lecture: Three hours. Laboratory: Three hours. Prerequisites: BIOL 12100 and BIOL 12200 or BIOL 11900 and BIOL 12000, one other course in biology at level 2 or above; BIOL 30100 (may be taken concurrently). 4 credits. (F,E)

3.00 Credits
Examines the function and performance of animals and plants in their environment. This course integrates information from molecular biology through organismal physiology to understand the mechanisms that allow organisms to survive in their physical, chemical, and biological environments. This information is analyzed to understand how these small-scale processes affect higher levels of organization, from biotic communities up to global-level issues. Topics include adaptations to extremes in temperature, energy availability, moisture, and nutrients. Examples will be taken from organisms living in a wide variety of environments, including deserts, the Arctic, temperate forests, marine environments, and rain forests. Lecture and discussion, with an emphasis on reading and analyzing the scientific literature. Prerequisites: BIOL 27100; BIOL 21400 or BIOL 47300. 4 credits. (S,E)
-
3.00 Credits
Intensive study of the basic physiological and biochemical processes of plants. Emphasis is placed on interaction between cellular structure and function, as well as coordination of the various physiological processes throughout the organism. Lecture: Three hours. Laboratory: Three hours. Prerequisites: BIOL 12100-12200, or BIOL 11900-12000; CHEM 12100 or CHEM 12300; CHEM 12200 or CHEM 12600; CHEM 22100; CHEM 22200. 4 credits. (S,O)
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the mechanisms by which hormones control their targets and provides background on the major vertebrate hormones. The course then covers current research in endocrinology, analyzing topics such as weight control, growth, gender differentiation, reproduction, the stress response, and environmental endocrine disrupters. Lecture and discussion, with an emphasis placed on reading and analyzing the scientific literature. Prerequisites: BIOL 21400; BIOL 30100, (may be taken concurrently). 4 credits. (S,O)
