Prerequisite: 151. L.

The laboratory applies concepts discussed in lecture, and uses several small-group projects in the field and laboratory to develop relevant skills for conducting marine-related research. Students will learn to design and analyze experiments, and to write in the scientific style. Field trips to Maine and Cape Cod, MA, provide hands-on experience with marine organisms in their natural habitats. Prerequisite: BIO 268, which must be taken concurrently.

The oceans cover over 75% of the Earth and are home to enormous biodiversity. Marine Ecology explores a variety of coastal and oceanic systems, focusing on natural and human-induced factors that affect biodiversity and the ecological balance in marine habitats. Using case studies, we will study some successful conservation and management strategies, including Marine Protected Areas.

This course looks comparatively at the histories of China, Japan, and Korea from the late 18th century to the present. It examines the struggles of these countries to preserve or regain their independence and establish their national identities in a rapidly emerging and often violent modern world order. While each of these countries has its own distinctive identity, their overlapping histories (and dilemmas) give the region a coherent identity. We also will look at how individuals respond to and are shaped by larger historical movements.

Inquiry-based laboratory using techniques such as spectrophotometry, enzyme kinetics, bright field and fluorescence light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. There will be an emphasis on student-designed projects. This course is a prerequisite for Biochemistry I Laboratory (BCH 253). Prerequisite: BIO 202, (should be taken concurrently).

Experiments will demonstrate concepts presented in BIO 200 and illustrate techniques and data analysis used in the study of physiology. BIO 200 must be taken concurrently.

Functions of animals, including humans, required for survival (movement, respiration, circulation, etc.); neural and hormonal regulation of these functions; and the adjustments made to challenges presented by specific environments. Prerequisites: BIO 150/151 and CHM 111 or CHM 118. Laboratory (BIO 201) is optional but strongly recommended.

Laboratory sessions in this course will combine observational and experimental protocols both in the lab and in the field. Students will gain familiarity with the diverse lineages of life, and will design and conduct research to address specific hypotheses about a subset of lineages. There will also be field trips to local sites where students will engage in observations of organisms in their natural habitats and in experimental exploration of ecological interactions. Prerequisite: BIO 154 (normally taken concurrently).
