Principles of biology from the cellular to the ecosystem
level, including biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, and
evolution. This course is designed for
students planning to major in biology or a related discipline. Includes laboratory experiences. |

Biol
473: Wetland Birds |
The study of biological and
ecological characteristics of birds that utilize wetland habitats, mechanisms
that determine bird form and function, and current conservation issues
related to wetland birds. From a
habitat perspective we focus on wetland systems as habitat for birds that
provide resources and selective pressures in the evolution of their
life-history strategies. |
