3.00 Credits
This course is a study of the internal and external structure of fishes, their systematic and ecological relationships, and their distribution in time and space. This course is periodically offered at the Marine Science field station at Wallops Island, Va., only during a summer session.
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on the practice of classifying organisms utilizing modern systematic techniques. Particular emphasis is placed on the reconstruction of evolutionary histories of organisms using both molecular and morphological characters. Topics include species concepts, deliniation of taxonomic groups, and methods of inferring phylogenies.
-
3.00 Credits
The aim of this course is to provide a basic introduction to bioinformatics for students in molecular biology or genetics with no particular training in mathematics, statistics or informatics. The students will get an overview of the different databases from around the world that are available on the internet, and will be presented with practical applications of computer-based methods for the analysis of DNA sequences and protein structures.
-
1.00 Credits
This course is designed to acquaint the student with recent methods of research in particular areas of investigation, to instruct in the writing of acceptable research reports, and to acquaint the student with the literature directly related to a particular problem.

-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to familiarize the student with the marine environment and current developments in the marine sciences. Topics for study will include the physical parameters of the ocean, ocean basis topography, life in the sea, and resources in the ocean. This course is periodically offered at the Marine Science field station in Wallops Island, Va., only during a summer session.
-
1.00 Credits
Under the auspices of a qualified member of the faculty of the Graduate School, the student pursues a pattern of readings, study, and research related to professional knowledge and understanding in biological science. Topics should be established prior to enrollment.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is intended to familiarize the students with an understanding of scope and use of biotechnological techniques in forensic sciences, which include criminal investigation, civil cases (paternity testing), and wildlife conservation and management (endangered species), diagnosis of inherited diseases, tissue and organ transplantation, personal and organism identification. This course will be conducted as both lecture and laboratory exercises. The students will learn how to collect, preserve, analyze and interpret biological evidence in forensic contexts: (hair, blood, saliva, semen, tooth pulp, and other tissues). It provides an overview of the techniques and problems related to application of biotechnology in different fields. Major topics will be addressed, such as categories of biological evidence, DNA fingerprinting, blood and serology, hair and fiber analysis, fingerprinting, forensic pathology. Current and historical cases will be used to illustrate examples of good and poor quality investigations and updates to new technologies and breakthroughs will be emphasized.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will provide an in-depth examination of insect diversity at the order and family level with an emphasis upon identification of adults. Topics will include taxonomy, evolutionary relationships, approaches to classifications, nomenclature, zoogeography, ecology, morphology, and techniques of collection. One or more field trips may be required.
