ZOO 3401 Natural History of Marine Animals . . . . . 3(3,0,0)
Introduction to the marine environment and its diverse fauna. Coral reefs, estuaries, open oceans and other marine habitats are surveyed with emphases on environmental features, community structure and adaptations of resident species. Includes species having special commercial, aesthetic and ecological importance. Directed toward non-biology majors and it will not count as biology credit for biology majors.

ZOO 3733 Human Anatomy . . . . . 3(3,0,0)
Anatomical structure/general function of human organ systems. Emphasis on understanding human body as integrated biological system. Not accepted as major credit.

ZOO 4254 Marine Invertebrate Zoology . . . . . 4(3,3,0)
Survey of the invertebrates, with emphasis on systematics, morphology, physiology and ecology. Labs include detailed study of types and exposure to diversity, using live and preserved specimens, and exposure to techniques used in zoological research. Emphasis is on local marine species. Material and supply fee will be assessed for corresponding lab. Corequisite: ZOO 4254L.

ZOO 4304 Marine Vertebrate Zoology . . . . . 4(3,3,0)
Structure and function of chordates, especially those in water such as fish, whales and seals. Study of behavioral, ecological, physiological and structural adaptations to various modes of living, stressing local marine forms in lab. Material and supply fee will be assessed for corresponding lab. Corequisite: ZOO 4304L.

ZOO 4513 Animal Behavior . . . . . 3(3,0,0)
Contemporary view of animal behavior including discussion of sensory and neurobiology, biological rhythms, genetic and experiential influences on behavior, communication, orientation, migration, predator-prey relationships and social behavior. Offered concurrently with ZOO 5514; graduate students will be assigned additional work. Prerequisite: BSC 1010 or equivalent.

ZOO 4753 Histology . . . . . 4(3,3,0)

ZOO 5816 Zoogeography . . . . . 3(3,0,0)
Relates principles of taxonomy, ecology and evolution to the distribution patterns of animals. Topics discussed include mechanisms of dispersal, geological factors influencing distribution and current research in zoogeography. One course in ecology; one course in evolution required prior to this course.

ZOO 6276 Biology of Mollusca . . . . . 4(3,3,0)
