BI
407/507 Seminar: Marine Biology
(2 quarter hour credits) Meets 3:30 pm Friday
Speakers from a number of different
Universities present their research interests.
BI 451/551 Invertebrate
Biology (8 quarter
hour credits) Meets
8-5 Tuesday and Thursday and for two hours on Friday
Introduction to the diversity of marine invertebrates.
What they look like, how they work, where they live, and their
natural history and behavior. Richard Emlet and Nora
Terwilliger.
BI 457/557 Marine
Biology: Comparative Embryology and Larval Biology
(5 quarter hour credits) Meets 8 - 5 Wednesday and an hour on Friday
A comparative survey of embryonic
development, larval froms and larval ecology across all of the
marine invertebrate phyla. Students explore the rich and colorful
diversity of marine larvae by culturing dozens of representative
species in the laboratory. Lab and field experiments introduce
methods for studying ecological aspects of early life-history
biology, including fertilization success, gametogenic synchrony,
life-history evolution, and the dispersal, nutrition, behavior,
orientation, and settlement of larvae. Craig
Young.
