Prerequisite: consent of the department. A review of the principles,
practices, and applications of systematics. Topics may include
systematic theory, species concepts, speciation, phylogeny reconstruction,
principles and practices of classification, conservation
units, and historical biogeography. Three hours of lecture and
discussion.
BIOS 6603 Conservation Ecology
3 cr.
Prerequisite: General Ecology and consent of the department.
Selected topics in advanced ecology and their application to conservation.
Topics may include demography, population declines
and disappearances, metapopulations, habitat fragmentation, factors

ecosystem function, invasive species, disease ecology, global change,
and restoration ecology. Three hours of lecture and discussion.
BIOS 6653 Ecology for Teachers
3 cr.
Prerequisite: Consent of department. Not available for credit for
students enrolled in the graduate program in Biological Sciences.
An exploration of major concepts in modern ecology for middleand
high-school science teachers. Each concept is introduced with
a lecture/discussion covering its theoretical background and significance,
followed by practical exercises that provide the basis for
developing grade-appropriate exercises that can be implemented
in the classroom. Topics include adaptation to the environment,
population dynamics, community ecology, and energy flow in
ecosystems.
BIOS 6953 Entomology for Teachers
3 cr.
Prerequisite: Consent of department. Not available for credit for
students enrolled in the graduate program in Biological Sciences. A
course for science teachers designed to develop expertise in entomology
and the use of insects for illustrating a range of concepts
in biology. Topics covered will include insect structure, function,
diversity, ecology, and behavior, and will include practical exercises
that can provide the basis for grade-appropriate exercises to be
implemented in the classroom.
BIOS 7000 Thesis Research
1-9 cr.
Offered each semester. By arrangement with the graduate adviser.
To be repeated for credit until thesis is accepted. Three hours of
laboratory work per credit hour. Section number will correspond
with credit to be earned.
BIOS 7040 Examination or Thesis Only
0 cr.
Open to students in the thesis program who have only (other
than application for degree) the final typing and acceptance by
the Graduate School of their thesis or dissertation or to students
in a non-thesis program who have only (other than application
for degree) to pass the final examination to complete graduation
requirements.
BIOS 7050 Dissertation Research
1-9 cr.
Prerequisite: Approval of the candidate’s guidance committee. Preparation
of dissertation under the direction of the major professor
and guidance committee. Section number will correspond with

advanced chemistry labs. A study of basic principles of laboratory
investigations and illustrations of the chemical behavior described
in General Chemistry. One hour of lecture and three hours of laboratory.
Credit cannot be earned for both CHEM 1023 and CHEM
1028.
