4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 111/111L-112/112L or ENVS 101/101L-102/102L or consent of instructor (BIOL 210 recommended). Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. Introduction to avian biology with an emphasis on the evolution, classification, physiology, behavior, ecology, natural history, and conservation of birds. Laboratory focuses on anatomical adaptations and biodiversity, as well as on field identification of birds of the Mid-Atlantic States with field trips to local and regional areas.

Prerequisites: BIOL 111/111L-112/ 112L or ENVS 101/101L-102/102L. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. This introduction to the marine environment emphasizes the influence of oceanographic, evolutionary, and ecological principles on marine organisms and ecosystems. Discussion of the diversity of marine life focuses on the constraints of different marine ecosystems. Students gain experience in field identification of marine organisms during the laboratory. The laboratory is conducted at selected sites on the ocean and in the estuary. A small additional cost will be incurred for a field trip.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 111/111L or ENVS 101/101L or consent of instructor. This course covers the organisms inhabiting the coral reefs of the West Indies and will be taught on San Salvador Island in the Bahamas. Field work is intensive, and skin diving and optional scuba techniques are employed. Limited collections are made, and a paper on a topic of special interest is required. An additional fee will be charged to cover expenses.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 111/111L- 112/112L, ENVS 101/101L-102/102L, or MATH 103 and 222. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. This course is a survey of general ecological principles from the evolutionary perspective, incorporating multiple levels of analysis (e.g. population, community, etc.). Primary emphasis is placed on framing ecological theory in perspective with field models of ecological principles from historical and current research.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 111/111L-112/112L, ENVS 101/101L-102/102L, or CHEM 103/105L-104/106L. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. Basic concepts and principles of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genetics are discussed, including Mendelian inheritance, polygenic inheritance, linkage and mapping chromosome aberrations, population genetics, DNA structure and replication, gene expression, mutation, gene regulation, recombinant DNA technology, and the molecular basis of disease. Lab exercises utilize bacteria, plants, and animals as model systems.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 111/111L- 112/112L. (BIOL 210 recommended). Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. This course provides a comparative study of the development, structure, and relationships of different organ systems in various vertebrate groups. Recommended for pre-medical, pre-dental, and medical technology students.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 111/ 111L-112/112L, CHEM 103/105L-104/106L. (BIOL 210 recommended). Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. This course is a study of the cellular and molecular bases of organ system function in vertebrates, primarily humans. Emphasis is placed on nervous and endocrine control systems and the coordination of body functions. Clinical examples are frequently used.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 111/111L- 112/112L, ENVS 101/101L-102/102L or MATH 103 and 222. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. This course includes a review of concepts of animal behavior and the methods employed to study behavior including an analysis of mechanistic and adaptive aspects of behavior in a variety of animal taxa. Emphasis is placed on analysis of current primary literature and development of critical tests of behavior.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 111/111L-112/112L (BIOL 220 recommended). Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. This course serves primarily as a companion course to Physiological Psychology ( PSYC 355) but can also serve as a stand-alone course for anyone interested in the biology of the human nervous system. Introductory material focuses on an overview of the organization of the nervous system and on cellular aspects of neural function. Subsequent emphasis is on reflexes, sensory function, motor function, and sensorimotor integration.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 111/ 111L-112/112L; CHEM 103/105L-104/106L, 251/253L (BIOL 220 recommended). Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. This course introduces the student to the complex events occurring in the nucleus of the cell, resulting in cell division and the continuation of species. It also examines the molecular processes of cell differentiation, cell signaling, cancer, and events that cause DNA mutations.
