BIOS 4713 Advanced Microbiology
3 cr.
Prerequisites: BIOS 2014 and BIOS 2114. Either BIOS 3104 or 3453
is recommended. A study of the three domains of life: Bacteria,
Archea, and Eukarya, emphasizing the diversity and evolution of
these organisms. This course will also stress the topics of Microbial
cell structure, metabolism, ecology, genetics, virology, and pathogenesis
with emphasis on our current understanding of how microorganisms
communicate with and adapt to their environment on
a molecular level. This course is designed for students interested
in post-graduate work in medicine, biotechnology, or research in
molecular and cell biology as well as microbiology.

BIOS 4833 Terrestrial Plant Ecology
3 cr.
(BIOS 4833 and GEOG 4833 are cross-listed). Prerequisite: Consent of
department. A broad overview of the specialized branches of plant
ecology which will examine the essential interactions between
plants and their environment. The focus of the course will be
threefold: first, theoretical considerations providing students a
solid background from which to examine plant environment interactions;
second, the dynamic processes that continually shape the
structure of plant communities; third, methodologies for sampling
and analyzing plant communities. At least two field trips can be
anticipated.
