ZOOL 3214K - Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy
Credit Hours: 4
Students participate in an integrated study of the developmental anatomy of selected vertebrates, including humans. Students compare the organs and systems of representative vertebrates in order to acquire an understanding of living organisms in the past, present and future.
Prerequisite(s): BIOL 1108K

ZOOL 3234K - Embryology
Credit Hours: 4
Students gain an introduction to general embryology. Embryological processes examined by students include gametogenesis, fertilization, cleavage, gastrulation, neurulation and organogenesis.
Prerequisite(s): ZOOL 3214K

-
ZOOL 3254K - Histology
Credit Hours: 4
Students study organs and tissues and learn to correlate functions with the structures. A variety of computer-based activities supplement the traditional study of the microscopic specimens. Students are expected to prepare an electronic media presentation on a subject studied.
Prerequisite(s): BIOL 1108K

ZOOL 3303 - Wildlife Conservation
Credit Hours: 3
Students examine the history of conservation in the United States and the cultural, economic and political climates that led to current environmental policies and legislature. They learn how management techniques are integrated into management plans that serve the policies articulated in conservation legislature.
Prerequisite(s): BIOL 2334K and MATH 1112 or MATH 1113

ZOOL 3364K - Mammalogy
Credit Hours: 4
Students classify and identify mammalian species, especially those of North America. Evolutionary adaptations of various mammalian taxonomic groups are compared and related to habitats and life histories of selected examples of mammalian species. Students learn to describe the distribution of mammalian species and relate these distributions to environmental constraints.
Prerequisite(s): BIOL 3014 or BIOL 3214K
|
| |
-
ZOOL 3384K - Ichthyology
Credit Hours: 4
Students understand the systematic relationships among fishes, especially freshwater species. They compare the physiology and habits of freshwater fish to those of marine fish. Students become knowledgeable of the distributions, evolution and adaptations of fishes.
Prerequisite(s): BIOL 3014
|
| |
-
ZOOL 4102 - Diseases of Wildlife and Fish
Credit Hours: 2
Students study viral, bacterial, non-infectious and parasitic diseases. Selected diseases will be discussed and emphasis will be placed on etiology, transmission, signs, pathogenesis, pathology, diagnosis, immunity, treatment, and control.
Prerequisite(s): BIOL 1108K
|
| |
-
ZOOL 4274K - Parasitology
Credit Hours: 4
Students study the basic principles of parasites and study their emphasis on human parasites.
Prerequisite(s): BIOL 1108K
|
| |
-
ZOOL 4294K - Vertebrate Physiology
Credit Hours: 4
Students undertake an in-depth study of vertebrate systems with special emphasis on nervous responses, endocrine control, circulation, respiration, digestion, excretion and reproduction in humans.
Prerequisite(s): ZOOL 3214K
|
| |
-
ZOOL 4334K - Ornithology
Credit Hours: 4
Students study the classification and life histories of birds with an emphasis on North American species. The relationship between avian anatomy, physiology and the constraints of flight are understood. Students identify common local species by sight and vocalizations. Students investigate the relationships between avian behaviors, distributions, adaptations and the habitats in which the birds are found.

-
ZOOL 4343 - Fisheries/Wildlife Internship
Credit Hours: 3
Students participate in a summer (or equivalent) program, paid or volunteer, related to their major. Upon completion of this program the students make presentations of their experiences and/or research findings to their peers.
Prerequisite(s): Senior standing (Departmental Approval)
|
| |
-
ZOOL 4393 - Population Dynamics
Credit Hours: 3
Students investigate population changes using mathematical methods. Common models incorporating and describing parameters such as fecundity, mortality and competition are investigated. Students identify the assumptions that must be met for validity that underlay these population analyses and assess the appropriateness of different models for varying experimental uses. Students then use these models in understanding and quantifying the effects of such symbiotic relationships as predation and competition on various populations.
Prerequisite(s): BIOL 2334K and MATH 1154 or MATH 2113
