BioEE 373, Biology of the Marine Invertebrates (with J. Morin)
An introduction to the biology and evolution of the major invertebrate phyla, concentrating on marine representatives. Emphasis is placed on the evolution of form and function, and the ecology, behavior, physiology, chemical ecology, and natural history of invertebrates. The course will be taught at Shoals Marine Lab during a 3 week session in summer 2001.
BioEE 462/EAS 462, Marine Ecology (with C. Greene)
Lectures and discussion focus on current research in broad areas of marine ecology with an emphasis on processes unique to marine systems. A synthetic treatment of multiple levels of organization in marine systems including organismal, population, community, ecosystems, and evolutionary biology. Examples are drawn from all types of marine habitats, including polar seas, temperate coastal waters, and tropical coral reefs.
BioEE 660, Field Studies in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
Students employ experimental approaches to study the evolution of invertebrate life histories during a field trip to the
