-
3.00 Credits
This course will provide an in-depth examination of cell structure and function and the interrelationship between the two. Special attention will be given to membranes, cytoskeleton, and cell surface structures. The function of these structures in the coordination of activities occurring within and among cells will be stressed.
Prerequisite:
BIOL114 AND BIOL331 AND CHEM234
-
3.00 Credits
This course is the study of insects with respect to morphology, physiology, taxonomy, and ecology; insects of economic importance are used as examples. This is a basic course leading to several aspects of entomology such as insect morphology, economic entomology, insect physiology, medical entomology, etc. Since this course also is offered for graduate credit, a differentiation of requirements will be made.
Prerequisite:
BIOL114 AND BIOL115
-
3.00 Credits
This course is the study of arthropods that affect the health of man and animals. The study includes a brief account of introductory entomology and that of the ticks, insects, and sites of medical importance, both as vectors and as the causal agents of pathological conditions. Seeks understanding of the principle of the vector-host relationship. Since this course also is offered for graduate credit, a differentiation of requirements will be made.
Prerequisite:
BIOL114 AND BIOL115 OR BIOL451
-
3.00 Credits
Behavioral Ecology is designed to introduce students to animal behavior within an ecological and evolutionary context. The subject matter deals with ways in which an organisms behaviors are influenced by the environment, especially with regard to resource distribution. Since this course is also offered for graduate credit, a differentiation of requirements will be made. Course is offered regularly at ESU and occasionally at the Marine Science field station at Wallops Island, Va.
Prerequisite:
BIOL114 AND BIOL115
-
3.00 Credits
This course includes a study of the occurrence, principles, concepts and significance of disease in wildlife. Representative diseases along with their mechanism for pathogenicity will be studied. Since this course also is offered for graduate credit, a differentiation of requirements will be made.
Prerequisite:
BIOL114 AND BIOL115 AND BIOL330
-
1.00 Credits
This course is designed to demonstrate the immunological and biochemical factors in disease diagnosis. Common laboratory tests in hematology, blood chemistry, and microbiology will be employed. Birds, fish, and mammals will be the subjects examined. Since this course is also offered for graduate credit, a differentiation of requirements will be made. BIOL 114, BIOL 115, BIOL 330 AND BIOL 458 (Concurrent)
Prerequisite:
BIOL114 AND BIOL115 AND BIOL330 AND BIOL458
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a study of the physical constants of the marine environment as it interrelates with marine organisms. The ecological interactions of the organisms with each other will be emphasized. The effect of pollution and excessive exploitation on marine organisms will be discussed. Since this course is also offered for graduate credit, a differentiation of requirements will be made. Any two courses in biology with the exception of laboratory courses only.
-
1.00 Credits
This course focuses on basic mechanism of disease (the processes). The main thrust is directed toward identification of the changes in the human body at cellular, tissue, and system levels when insulted by a disease. Glass microscopic slides, 35mm slides, organ and tissue specimens, images from the Internet and DC-ROM programs will be utilized in this course.
Prerequisite:
BIOL111 AND BIOL112 AND BIOL424
Corequisite:
BIOL424
-
4.00 Credits
An overview of the vertebrate Class Mammalia, this course is designed to help the student develop a basic understanding of the anatomy, diversity, ecology, fossil record, and geographical distributions of mammals. Students will be exposed to the modern and fossil mammals of the world ' with a focus on the regional fauna ' through a combination of classroom discussion, lecture, laboratory work with preserved specimens, field trips, and field work.
Prerequisite:
BIOL114 AND BIOL115 AND BIOL200
-
0.00 Credits
This course will synthesize topics relating to the conservation of animals and plants, including extinction, genetics, demography, insularization, threats to biodiversity, conservation economics, environmental ethics, and strategies for conservationists.
