Symbioses between animal species (including protistans) are discussed and described with respect to their life cycles, distribution, pathogenicity, evolution and ecology. Medically important human parasites are included. Material and supply fee will be assessed for corresponding lab

ZOO 3558     Coral Reefs . . . . . 3(S)
Coral Reefs is a non-biology major course designed to provide a general overview of tropical and sub-tropical coral reefs to students with an interest in these fascinating ecosystems, but who lack a strong theoretical background in the biological sciences. Covers basic concepts dealing with the structure, formation, biology and ecology of Atlantic and Pacific coral reefs.
