-
5.00 Credits
3 (3 + 0) Prerequisite: BIO 1080 and BIO 1090 Students will explore issues in conservation biology. This area of biology applies the fields of ecology, evolution, biogeography, population genetics, economics, sociology, anthropology, philosophy and other disciplines to address the global problems of declining biodiversity of species and ecosystems. Two field trips during the scheduled course time will highlight conservation issues on a local level.
-
5.00 Credits
4 (3 + 3) Prerequisite: BIO 3200 and At least junior standing; or Permission of instructor This course is a study of the structure, physiology, and evolution of the insects. The internal, as well as external, structure of the insects is considered and the importance of these structures on the insects is developed both in lecture and laboratory.
-
5.00 Credits
4 (3 + 3) Prerequisite: BIO 3260 or Permission of instructor This course is a survey of the life of birds, especially as related to their evolutionary origins, adaptations for flight, and exploitations of various ecological niches. The course includes consideration of behavior, physiology, and classification. Required field trips may include one weekend trip.
-
5.00 Credits
3 (2 + 3) Prerequisite: Bio 3260; and Bio 4540 or BIO 4550; or permission of instructor This course is a survey of taxonomic, physiological, and anatomic characteristics of modern orders of mammals. Illustrative environmental adaptations and major evolutionary trends will be discussed. The laboratory will include study-skin preperation and identification of representative mammalia species.
-
5.00 Credits
3 (3 + 0) Prerequisite: BIO 2400 and BIO 3600, or Permission of instructor This course is a survey of the interactions of viruses and their hosts. The emphasis is on bacterial and animal host forms.
-
5.00 Credits
5 (3 + 4) Prerequisite: BIO 2400 or Permission of instructor This course is a comprehensive study of human bacterial pathogens. The emphasis is on etiology, pathogenesis, and epidemiology of human diseases. Laboratory studies involve isolation and identification.
-
5.00 Credits
4 (3 + 3) Prerequisite: BIO 2400 and BIO 3600, or Permission of instructor This course is a study of current information on the mechanisms of microbial inheritance and expression of genetic information; intended to develop perspectives relative to the evolution of the field, applications to higher organisms, and directions in current research.
-
5.00 Credits
4 (4 +0) Prerequisite: BIO 2400 and six hours of upper-division microbiology and/or molecular biology courses, or Permission of instructor, satisfactory completion of all Level I and II General Studies course requirements, Senior standing This course is a detailed study of microbial ecology, emphasizing population interactions, quantitative ecology, habitat ecology, and biochemical cycling. Discussion of biotechnological aspects of microbial ecology is included. (Senior Experience)
-
5.00 Credits
4 (4 + 0) Prerequisite: BIO 2100, or Permission of instructor, Senior standing, and satisfaction of all Level I and II General Studies course requirements This course proceeds from a study of concepts (matter and energy, food webs, nutrient cycles, succession) to a discussion of populations, communities, and biomes, emphasizing the interrelationships and interdependence of living things with each other and with their nonliving environment. (Senior Experience)
-
5.00 Credits
4 (3 + 3) Prerequisite: BIO 3200 or BIO 3260, and six hours of upper division biology courses, or Permission of instructor, Senior standing, and satisfaction of all Level I and II General Studies course requirements In this course, a detailed consideration is made of population dynamics, intra- and interspecific interactions, niche segregation, species diversity, specialization and distributional patterns. Appropriate readings from current literature will be required. (Senior Experience)
