|
Biology 1001. Principles of Biology. An introduction to the science of Biology, including a discussion of the unity, diversity and evolution of living organisms.- Lab: 3 hour laboratory per week
- Note: Biology 1001 is a prerequisite for Biology 1002
|
Biology 2010. Biology of Plants. A study of the structure, function and reproductive biology of plants, with emphasis on the vascular plants, and on their relationship to environment and human activities.- Lab: 3 hour laboratory per week
- Note: Biology 1001, 1002, and Chemistry 1001
|
Biology 2600. Principles of Ecology. A conceptual course introducing the principles of ecology, including theoretical, functional and empirical approaches.- Prerequisite: Biology 1002
- Lab: 3 hour of laboratory per week
- Note: Credit may not be obtained for both Biology 2600 and the former Biology 3600
|
Envs 3110. Taxonomy of Flowering Plants. A study of the biodiversity of flowering vascular plants (Magnoliophyta) through the practical identification of Newfoundland families, genera, and species. Related taxonomic and biogeographical principles will be stressed.- Prerequisite: Biology 2010 or equivalent
- Lab: Three two-hour laboratory periods per week of integrated practice and theory
- Note: 1) Credit can be obtained for only one of ENVS 3110 or Biology 3041. 2) Students must submit a collection of flowering plants identified to the species level. Detailed instructions should be obtained from the instructor in the spring/summer prior to the commencement of this course
|
Envs 3131. Impacted Terrestrial Ecosystems. An examination of ecological and evolutionary responses by organisms in terrestrial ecosystems to human-derived and natural perturbations. Advanced conceptual, empirical and experimental approaches will be used, with an emphasis on sampling local habitats.- Prerequisite: Biology 2600; and two of Biology 2010, 2122, 2210 or the permission of the instructor and Program Chair
- Lab: 3 hour of laboratory per week
- Note: Credit can be obtained for only one of ENVS 3131 or Biology 3610
|
Envs 4132. Analytical Ecology. The assessment of environmental impacts on higher-level ecological systems requires a critical analysis of scientific reports, along with the ability to evaluate ecological terminology and concepts and associated statistical methodologies. Students in this course will critically read and analyze recent scientific literature in Environmental Biology, with selected topics at the community, ecosystem and landscape level, and examine related univariate and multivariate statistical procedures.
Prerequisites: .
Lectures: Three hours of lectures plus a .- Prerequisite: Biology 2600, Statistics 2550 (or equivalent), with six credit hours from the Environmental Science Core (i.c.)
- Lab: 3 hour laboratory/discussion group each week
