BIO 370 Disease Ecology

Explore how the interactions among hosts, pathogens, and the environment affect and are affected by populations, communities and ecosystems. Use a combination of case studies, readings from the primary literature and the popular press, and computer modeling to understand disease ecology theory and practical applications of these principles.
Last taught Fall 2014, 2016, 2017. Upcoming in Fall 2019.

BIO 223 Plant Biology

Examine the  diversity of plants from a variety of biological perspectives! Understand ecology and evolution by linking plant form to function and understanding the adaptations that influenced success in plants’ transition to life on land. Examine how interactions between plants and their environment or other organisms influence community structure and stability. 
Last taught Spring 2015, 2017, 2019. Upcoming in Spring 2020.
