Same as EBIO 4030. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Same as EBIO 4060. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Algae are a non-monophyletic group of organisms that play critical roles in ecosystem structure and function. They have a long history of being used in a variety of ways by the human species, but are increasingly being applied to modern issues of understanding water quality and climate change, engineering at the nano scale and in the production of renewable biofuels. Same as EBIO 4080. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Same as EBIO 4100. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.

Covers special areas of ethology such as sociobiology, animal communication, cognitive ethology, human ethology, moral and ethical issues. Prereq., EBIO 3240.

Same as EBIO 4290. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
