  • BIOL 312: Molecular Methods in Evolutionary Biology

    4.00 Credits
    University of San Diego

    An introduction to the different types of molecular data employed in evolutionary biology and the techniques used to retrieve these data. The application of molecular data in evolutionary biological research is discussed. Topics include: molecular evolution, microevolution, conservation genetics, genetic engineering, crop evolution, forensics, paleontology, and phylogenetics. Two hours of lecture and two laboratory meetings weekly. Prerequisite: BIOL 300L. (Fall semester)

  • BIOL 318: Principles of Biogeography

    3.00 Credits
    University of San Diego

    Why do plants and animals occur where they do? Some of the answers to that question are ecological and come from examining the relationships between organisms and their environment. Other explanations derive from studying the history of life on earth. This course concerns those patterns and processes that have shaped the distributions of organisms in time and space. By employing concepts and information from paleogeography, phylogeny, and ecology, the course will explore the approaches for recovering the biogeographic history of organisms.

  • BIOL 320: Evolution of Vertebrate Structure

    3.00 - 4.00 Credits
    University of San Diego

    The evolution of vertebrates is one of the most compelling stories in comparative biology. For millions of years vertebrates have flourished in the seas and on land by employing a variety of morphological specializations for feedings, locomotion, and reproduction. Yet, all vertebrates retain similarities in their design regardless of how structural components function in different lineages and environments. This course examines the shared and transformed anatomical attributes among vertebrates in the context of function and phylogenetic history. We pursue that objective by integrating lecture discussions with laboratory observations and directions. Two hours of lecture and two laboratories weekly. (Fall semester)

  • BIOL 325: Developmental Plant Anatomy

    3.00 - 4.00 Credits
    University of San Diego

    An introduction to the structure and development of vascular plants. Emphasis will be placed on patterns of cellular differentiation within plant organs and current experimentational evidence of how internal and external signals modify these patterns. In the laboratory, living organisms and prepared slides will be studied, and modern methods used to study plant morphogenesis will be introduced. Three hours of lecture and one laboratory weekly.

  • BIOL 330: Histology

    3.00 - 4.00 Credits
    University of San Diego

    An intensive study of the basic types of tissues and organs at the microscopic level. Structure and associated function are emphasized. The laboratory concentrates on the light microscopic study of tissues and offers students the opportunity to perform basic histological techniques. Three hours of lecture and one laboratory weekly.

  • BIOL 346: Vertebrate Natural History

    4.00 Credits
    University of San Diego

    A course in the biology of vertebrates. Although vertebrate structure, function, and development are studied, emphasis is on the behavior, evolution, and interaction of the vertebrate organism as a whole, or at the population level. Techniques of identification and study are covered in the laboratory and field. Three hours of lecture and one laboratory or field trip weekly. (Spring semester)
