Integrative Biology

IBIO*4010 Adaptational Physiology W (3-0) [0.50]
This course examines adaptations of organisms to various aquatic and terrestrial environments. A mechanistic approach will be used to establish the strategies (anatomical, physiological, biochemical) of environmental adaptation. Examples will include adaptations of deep-sea and polar organisms, adaptations to salinity and desiccation challenges, oxygen availability, sensory adaptations and symbiotic adaptations.
Prerequisite(s):	ZOO*3210
Restriction(s):	ZOO4390, ZOO4560

IBIO*4500 Research in Integrative Biology I F,W (1-5) [0.75]
The student will undertake an independent research project of a practical or theoretical nature that relates either to organismal biology or the teaching of organismal biology and is conducted under the supervision of a faculty member. Students must make arrangements with both a faculty supervisor and the course coordinator at least one semester in advance. A departmental registration form must be obtained from the course coordinator and submitted no later than the second class day of the semester in which the project is to be completed.
Equate(s):	ZOO4490, ZOO4500, BOT*4820
Restriction(s):	Normally a minimum cumulative average of 70% in the biology courses during the first 6 semesters of a major in the College of Biological Science. Instructor consent required.
