Biology
Biology 1002. Principles of Biology. An introduction to the science of Biology, including a discussion of the unity, diversity and evolution of living organisms.
  • Prerequisite: Biology 1001
  • Lab: 3 hour laboratory per week
Biology 2122. Biology of Invertebrates. A study of the invertebrates with emphasis on structure and function, adaptations and life histories. The laboratories will present a broad survey of the major invertebrate groups.
  • Prerequisite: Biology 1001 and 1002
  • Lab: 3 hour of laboratory per week
  • Note: Credit may not be obtained for both Biology 2122 and the former Biology 3122
Biology 2210. Biology of Vertebrates. A study of the vertebrates, with emphasis on structure and function, adaptations and life histories.
  • Prerequisite: Biology 1002
  • Lab: 3 hour of laboratory per week
  • Note: Credit may not be obtained for both Biology 2210 and the former Biology 3210
Biology 3053. Microbiology for Nurses. The fundamentals of microbiology with an emphasis on medical microbiology. The course will include topics such as: host responses to infections, human diseases caused by microorganisms, and the control and exploitation of microorganisms. Entrance is restricted to Nursing students in the Collaborative B.N. program.
  • Lab: Two hours per week
  • Note: Biology 3053 is not acceptable as one of the required courses for the Minor, Major or Honours programs in Biology, nor is it acceptable for any of the joint programs between Biology and other disciplines
Environmental Biology
Envs 3130. Freshwater Ecology. The study of freshwater ecosystems (lakes, rivers, streams, peatlands). Included are abiotic components, community structures, energy flow, biogeochemical cycles, and the evolution of natural and altered aquatic ecosystems. Emphasis will be placed on field and laboratory studies of the ecology of freshwater organisms and systems in western Newfoundland.
  • Prerequisite: Biology 2010, 2122, 2600; one of Chemistry 1001 or 1011
  • Lab: Three hours per week
ENVS 4131. Environmental Restoration and Waste Management. Effective ecosystem restoration and remediation involves an interdisciplinary approach. This course will discuss procedures aimed at restoring and rehabilitating ecosystems, with an examination of the scientific basis underlying these procedures. The efficacy of management options, e.g. biomanipulation, microbial degradation and chemical treatments, involved in restoration and waste management will be evaluated. Applications and practical case studies of both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems will be covered.
  • Prerequisite: Biology 2600, one of Chemistry 2300, 2401, 2440 and 6 credit hours from Environmental Science Core (i.c.)
