The courses Ecology and Evolutionary Biology 101 and 111 and Cell and
Molecular Biology 101 are prerequisites for all courses above the 100 level,
except where stated otherwise. Any other prerequisites or corequisites are listed in
the course descriptions. The student should be aware that some courses are
offered only in alternate years or on demand.
EBIO H104 Global Environmental Change (3)
Staff. An introduction to the physical and biological processes that regulate the
function of the Earth system. The composition, formation, and stabilization of the
Earth's atmosphere and ecosystem will be examined, emphasizing biological
processes and ecosystem ecology. With an understanding of the historical rates
and mechanisms of natural global change, the means by which human activities
alter Earth system function at local to global scales will be explored, along with
the consequences of and solutions to human-induced global change. This course
meets the college non-laboratory science requirement, but it cannot count toward
any major or minor requirements in ecology and evolutionary biology. Students
may receive credit for only one of EBIO 104, 105, or 205.
EBIO H499-H500 Honors Thesis (3, 4)
Staff. For especially qualified juniors and seniors with approval of department and
the Honors Committee.
FRESHMAN INTRODUCTORY COURSES
EBIO 101 Diversity of Life (3)
Staff. Corequisite: EBIO 111. A survey of plant and animal life emphasizing the
diversity among individuals, population, species, communities, and ecosystems.
