CELL 101 General Biology (3)
A study of the phenomena fundamental to all living systems: cellular biology, physiology, genetics, and development.
CELL 205 Genetics (3)
Prerequisite: CELL 101
The principles of genetic analysis and the nature of the gene. Discussion of the chromosomal and molecular basis of transmission, replication, mutation, and expression of heritable characteristics.
CELL 210 Biology of Human Reproduction (3)
The anatomy and physiology of male and female reproductive systems, and the diseases relating to each. A consideration of relevant aspects of gynecology, obstetrics and urology. Meets the college non laboratory science requirement. Does not count toward the requirements for a major or minor in cell and molecular biology.
CELL 211 General Biology Lab (1)
Prerequisite: CELL 101
Laboratory exercises emphasizing concepts in cell, molecular, and developmental biology. Designed for majors in the biological sciences.
CELL 422 Microbiology (3)
Prerequisite: CELL 301
Taxonomy, physiology, genetics and ecology of microorganisms. This course will cover the role of microbes in medicine and industry, and as model systems for research.
UEOB 120 Humanistic Biology (3)
EBIO 101 Diversity of Life (3)
Corequisite: EBIO 111
A survey of plant and animal life emphasizing the diversity among individuals, population, species, communities, and ecosystems.
EBIO 104 Global Environmental Change (3)
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 111 Diversity of Life Laboratory (1)
Corequisite: EBIO 101
Laboratory and field exercises designed to augment the lecture material in 101. Three hours per week.
EBIO 201 Evolution in Human Health and Disease (3)
An introduction for non-majors to the study of infectious and non-infectious diseases from an evolutionary perspective.
EBIO 205 Global Change Biology (3)
EBIO 223 Oceanography (3)
A broad survey of chemical, physical, and geological oceanography with a brief historical overview and a consideration of current concepts. Same as EENS 223.
EBIO 360 Forestry, Forested Ecosystems, and Public Policy (3)
Prerequisites: EBIO 101 or approval of instructor
This course introduces the practice of forestry and forest management techniques common in the U.S. South, examines forestry’s positive and negative environmental impacts, and presents the Federal, State, and local laws and policies that affect the management of forests in the United States. Students will be expected to integrate what they know about biology with what they learn about forestry and public policy. Students may not apply this course and EBIO 260 toward the course requirements for the EE Biology major or minor. Same as ENST 360.
EBIO 420 Ornithology (4)
An introduction to the biology of birds emphasizing their origin, evolution, diversity, zoogeography, functional morphology, behavior, ecology, and conservation. Lectures supplemented by weekly laboratories or short field trips, and occasional weekend field trips. Students must provide own binoculars.
EBIO 431 Plant Systematics (4)
A review of the structure and evolution of land plants and a survey of the major families of flowering plants. Laboratory emphasis on structural terminology and plant identification. Field trips required.
EBIO 619 Darwin and Darwinism (4)
Prerequisite: approval of instructor
A consideration of Charles Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection, including the history of evolutionary thought before Darwin’s time, the circumstances surrounding Darwin’s research, and the effect of Darwin’s ideas on the development of contemporary biology. Readings, discussions, and written assignments. Satisfies the LAS writing requirement.
EBIO 633 Plant-Animal Interactions (3)
Prerequisite: EBIO 404
Ecological, evolutionary, and applied approaches to the studies of herbivory, ant-plant interactions, pollination, and seed dispersal.
EBIO 720 Orinthology (4)
EBIO 760 Forestry and Policy (3)
