Courses
AUBIO 111 - Functional Biology
An introduction to functional and from molecules to systems, focusing on how organisms integrate different levels of organization in order to live. This course covers key topics of biochemistry (metabolism, respiration, photosynthesis), cell biology (organelles, membranes, cell cycle), and physiology (gas exchange, circulation, osmoregulation, excretion). Prerequisites: Biology 30 and Chemistry 30.
AUBIO 112 - Evolution and Biodiversity
An introduction to the biology of organisms, focusing on the evolution of biological diversity, including the mechanisms responsible for evolutionary change and the adaptations associated with the evolution of the major groups of organisms. Prerequisites: Biology 30. Note: Credit may be obtained for only one of AUBIO 112, AUBIO 212 (2022) or AUBIO 214 (2024).
AUBIO 253 - Ecological Interactions
An exploration of basic concepts and methods in ecology and of the relevance of ecological thinking in the life sciences. Emphasis is on both biotic and abiotic interactions at the level of the organism, including physiological and evolutionary perspectives, and on their consequences on the composition and diversity of ecological populations and communities within ecosystems. Prerequisite: AUBIO 112 or AUBIO 212 (2022) or AUBIO 214.
AUENV 335 - Wildlife Ecology and Management
Theory and practices in the study and management of wildlife populations and communities. Population dynamics, habitat assessment and management, conservation challenges, and emerging trends. Computational models and assignments aid theoretical understanding of material. Prerequisites: AUBIO 253; AUSTA 215.
