4.00 Credits
An advanced course covering human genetics using papers from the scientific literature as the major source of information. A review of basic genetics as applied to the human species. Consideration of recent genetic insights into a number of human conditions. Prerequisites: BICD 100, BIMM 100 is strongly recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to statistical inference. Emphasis on constructing statistics for specific problems. Topics include probability, distributions, sampling, replication, and experimental design. The computer language Python will be used for the required homework exercises. Mandatory weekly section. Prerequisites: BILD 3.
-
4.00 Credits
This course emphasizes principles shaping organisms, habitats, and ecosystems. Topics covered include population regulation, physiological ecology, competition, predation, and human exploitation. This will be an empirical look at general principles in ecology and conservation with emphasis on the unique organisms and habitats of California. Prerequisites: BILD 3 or equivalent.
-
6.00 Credits
A laboratory course to familiarize students with ecological problem solving and methods. Students will perform outdoor fieldwork and use the Macintosh computer for data exploration and analysis. Two hours of lecture and eight hours of laboratory each week. Prerequisites: BIEB 100. Attendance at the first lecture/lab is required. Nonattendance will result in the student’s being dropped from the course roster.
-
4.00 Credits
Theory and practice of molecular biology techniques used in ecological and evolutionary research. Includes isolation of DNA and RNA, PCR and its applications, DNA sequencing, gene expression analysis, bioinformatics, and ecological and evolutionary analysis of molecular data. Students may not enroll in or receive credit for both BIMM 101 and BIEB 123. Prerequisites: BILD 3. Attendance at the first lecture/lab is required. Nonattendance will result in the student’s being dropped from the course roster.
-
4.00 Credits
This course begins with an introduction to plant population biology including whole-plant growth and physiology. We then focus on three classes of ecological interactions: plant-plant competition, plant-herbivore coevolution, and plant reproductive ecology including animal pollination and seed dispersal. Prerequisites: BILD 3.
-
4.00 Credits
This course begins with a survey of insect diversity and phylogenetic relationships. We then address ecological issues including thermal ecology, population dynamics (including outbreaks), movement and migration, competition, predation, herbivory, parasitism, insect defense, mimicry complexes, and sociality. Prerequisites: BILD 3 or equivalent.
-
6.00 Credits
A laboratory course introducing students to marine ecology. Students will participate in outdoor fieldwork and work in the laboratory gathering and analyzing ecological data. We will focus on ecological communities in estuary, sandy beach, and rocky intertidal habitats. Two hours of lecture and eight hours of laboratory each week. In addition to the formal lab hours, there will be at least nine hours in which students will be required to work in the class laboratory to complete experiments and prepare for presentations. Prerequisites: BILD 3; BIEB 100. Attendance at the first lecture/lab is required. Nonattendance will result in the student’s being dropped from the course roster.
-
4.00 Credits
Overview of marine organisms and their adaptations to sea life. Selected examples of physiological, behavioral, and evolutionary adaptations in response to the unique challenges of a maritime environment. Prerequisites: BILD 3.
-
4.00 Credits
Basis for understanding the ecology of marine communities. The approach is process-oriented, focusing on major functional groups of organisms, their food-web interactions and community responses to environmental forcing, and contemporary issues in human and climate influences. Prerequisites: upper-division standing; BILD 3 is recommended.
