The focus is on application and hypothesis testing with examples drawn from the ?eld of biology. The course requires a substantial amount of homework and self-initiative outside the classroom. Prerequisites: course background in statistics.
A graduate seminar course in the ecological sciences. The format of the course depends on the faculty running the seminar, but most seminars involve student-led discussions on current research articles.
Supervised projects and practica selected to meet the specific objectives of the student.
Study of special topics. Prerequisite: permission of the instructor.
This course integrates the physiological and biochemical function of wild animals with population-scale and community-scale ecological patterns. Both organismal mechanisms and comprehensive theories will be included. The course primarily draws on peer-reviewed literature and includes lecture and discussion.
This graduate seminar offers a dynamic exploration of the biological sciences through a rotating roster of faculty presenting diverse topics. Participants will engage in discussions of contemporary research papers, receive training in science communication and career development, and/or analyze seminal texts that have shaped the field.

Laboratory activities and experiments that enhance understanding of the scientific method and environmental sciences through a hands-on approach that cannot be provided in the lecture classroom setting. This course cannot be substituted for BIOL 122N or BIOL 124N. BIOL 112N + BIOL 113N satisfy four credits of the University's Nature of Science general education requirement. Pre- or corequisite: BIOL 112N.
