  • BI 302: behavioral Ecology

    3.00 Credits
    Skidmore College

    An examination of the relationship between ecological factors and animal behavior, particularly social behavior. Students will analyze comparative studies of behavior, employ and critique economic models of behavior and models of evolutionarily stable strategies, and explore relationships among resource distribution, kinship, breeding systems, and social evolution. Prerequisites: BI106 or ES105 and any two 200-level biology courses. M. Raveret Richter

  • BI 309: microbial Genetics

    4.00 Credits
    Skidmore College

    An advanced exploration of the genetic aspects of microbiology. Students will study the genetic characteristics of prokaryotes and how bacterial model organisms contribute to our understanding of fundamental genetic processes in all living cells. Students will also explore applied topics, including the genetics of bioremediation and increasing prevalence of bacterial antibiotic resistance. In the laboratory, students will use modern methods in molecular genetics to explore the use of microorganisms in basic research. Prerequisites: BI106, and CH106 or 107H, and BI242 or BI246. S. Franke

  • BI 316: animal Behavior

    4.00 Credits
    Skidmore College

    Behavior is a product of evolution and a means of animal adaptation. This course considers the mechanisms, proximate causes, and ultimate origins of behavior. Prerequisite: BI106 or ES105, and any two 200-level biology courses; for neuroscience students: NS101, BI105, and BI244. Three lectures, three hours of lab or fieldwork a week.

    4.00 Credits
    Skidmore College

    The study of the progressive, sequential changes that occur within cells, tissues, and organisms over time. The study of development encompasses molecular, biochemical, cellular, morphological, and physiological organizational levels. Course topics range from gametogenesis and embryonic development to molecular mechanisms of gene regulation. Prerequisites: BI106 and any two 200-level biology courses; for neuroscience students: NS101, BI105, and BI244. Three lectures, three hours of lab a week. The Department

  • BI 325: tropical Ecology

    3.00 Credits
    Skidmore College

    An introduction to the ecology of tropical regions, with an emphasis on Central and South American forests. In this course, we will take an ecological approach to investigating the patterns, processes, and organisms characterizing tropical ecosystems. We will study the forces that gave rise to tropical biodiversity, and discuss both the preservation and destruction of tropical ecosystems. Prerequisites: Either BI106 or ES105, and any two 200-level biology courses. M. Raveret Richter
