Animal Behavior |
4 |
Dr. Haberman |
A
consideration of the basic problems in animal behavior, including ecological
adaptations of behavioral patterns, mechanisms underlying behavior, social
behavior and the nature and organization of animal societies. Three lectures,
one 2-hour laboratory. Prerequisites: Bio101-3 or 211-3 series. |

Bi326 |
Vertebrate Natural History |
4 |
Dr. LeMaster |
The classification, behavior, life history, and ecology of vertebrate
animals that occur in Oregon. Groups included are the fresh water fishes,
amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Laboratory will emphasize
identification and field studies. Two lectures, one 3-hour laboratory, and
required field trips (two on Saturdays, one over a weekend). Prerequisites: Bio101-3 or 211-3. |

Bi361 |
Marine Biology |
4 |
Dr. Haberman |
A survey of the plants and animals of the marine environment.
Some attention devoted to the anatomies, life histories, adaptations and
classification of representative species. Also included are interactions
among these species and physical factors that effect these interactions.
Man's impact on the marine environment and its resources is considered.
Laboratory time is divided between field trips, identification of specimens,
and a study of their behavior and ecological interrelationships. Two
lectures, two 3-hour laboratory periods with two day-long Saturday trips
substituting for some of the regularly scheduled laboratory periods. Prerequisites: Bio101-3 or 211-3. |

Bi370 |
Environmental Science |
4 |
Dr. LeMaster |
The study of how humans interact with their environment and the
effects of the environment on human society. Topics include basic ecological
principles, human population growth, environmental health, air and water
pollution, ecosystem change and global impacts. Does not substitute for Bi
357 (Ecology) in the Biology Major Program. Three hours lecture and one three
hour laboratory including field work. Prerequisites: Bi
101 or Bi211. |
