This applied ecology course is designed to present an overview of field and laboratory methods used by ecologists to describe and analyze plant and animal aggregations and their environments. The course focus is on the principles and practice of various ecological procedures with explanation of how to collect, record and analyze data. The course reviews the basic concepts of ecology that are needed to understand the various methods and their significance. The course material is presented as a combination of lecture, laboratory and field sessions. Prerequisites: There are no specific course prerequisites; however, students should have knowledge of basic biology, chemistry and fundamental algebra. Lecture and Laboratory.

This course examines the structure, function, and evolution of genomes, including both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Topics covered will include genome sequencing methods and analysis, gene expression, chromosome structure, proteomics, bioinformatics and genome evolution. Prerequisites: C or better in BIOL 212 and BIOL 250 (or BIOL 405 or BIOL 468), or CHEM 402. Lecture.

Human Genetics is an advanced, current survey of molecular aspects of the genetics of humans, focusing on principles of inheritance, genetic mapping, how genes produce phenotypes, patterns of human genetic diversity, and genomics. The course objective is to compare the genetics of humans with that of experimental organisms. Topics include: What is the molecular structure and function of eukaryotic genes and chromosomes? How do mutations alter the phenotype? How are human disease loci mapped and cloned? How is the human genome organized? What is the strategy to study genes and mutations in human populations? How does the environment affect complex traits? We will discuss the basic processes of genetics, as well as the essential information needed to use genetics. Prerequisites: C or better in BIOL 212, or instructor approval. Lecture.

This course will survey topics found in the science of neurobiology. Neurobiology is the study of the nervous system, its development, its function and its diseases. Topics will include evolution and development of the nervous system, electrophysiology of neurons, human neuroanatomy, anatomy and functioning of the sensory systems and molecular genetics of the nervous system. The focus of the course is on how a scientist discovers the inner workings of the brain. A vast array of living organisms have brains. Science has shown that the study of simple brains can tell us a great deal about how all brains function, including human brains. As such, in this class, we will study aspects of the neurobiology of many different organisms. Prerequisite: C or better in BIOL 212 or permission of instructor.
