Courses

 

Zoology

For all courses which have both a lecture component and a laboratory component (e.g. ZOO 237/237L ), both components are co-requisites, that is, they must be taken concurrently.

When appropriate, the names of faculty associated with each course are specified; otherwise, “Staff” is noted. 
  

  • ZOO 425/425L - Medical Parasitology (3/2)

    Study of protozoan and helminth parasites of humans: diagnosis, life cycles, pathology, epidemiology and control.

    Prerequisite(s): BIO 115/115A/115L  or the series of BIO 121/121L , BIO 122/122L  and BIO 123/123L .
    Component(s): 3 lectures/problem-solving, 2 three-hour laboratories.
    When Offered: W
    Faculty: Staff.
  

  • ZOO 426/426L - Entomology (3/1)

    General aspects of insect structure and function, development, behavior and influence on human activity; includes a survey of the principal insect groups.

    Prerequisite(s): BIO 211/211L , and ZOO 201/201L  or ZOO 237/237L .
    Component(s): 3 lectures/problem-solving, 1 three-hour laboratory.
    When Offered: W
    Faculty: Leong.
  

  • ZOO 428/428L - Animal Physiology (4/1)

    Principles of animal physiology presented through an organ-system approach. Cellular and molecular mechanisms also discussed to provide current views of physiological principles. Emphasis on mammals, but other vertebrate taxa also covered.

    Prerequisite(s): BIO 211/211L  and BIO 310 .
    Corequisite(s): ZOO 428/428L.
    Component(s): Laboratory reinforces physiological principles and provides exposure to basic methodology, equipment, and data analysis.
    When Offered: W
    Faculty: Eskandari.
  

  • ZOO 429/429L - Herpetology (3/2)

    Evolution, morphology, classification, distribution, ecology, behavior and conservation of amphibians and reptiles; identification, and field study of local species.

    Prerequisite(s): ZOO 138/138L, or ZOO 201/201L , or ZOO 238/238L .
    Component(s): 3 lectures/problem-solving, 2 three-hour laboratories.
    When Offered: Sp
    Faculty: Lappin.
  

  • ZOO 430/430L - Mammalogy (2/2)

    Morphology, classification, distribution, ecology, behavior and conservation of mammals; identification, and field study of local species.

    Prerequisite(s): ZOO 138/138L, or ZOO 201/201L , or ZOO 238/238L .
    Component(s): 2 lectures/problem-solving, 2 three-hour laboratories.
    When Offered: F
    Faculty: Staff.
  

  • ZOO 435/435L - Ornithology (3/1)

    The evolution, ecology, anatomy, and physiology of birds with emphasis on species of the Pacific Coast. Two half-day field trips (held on weekends) are required for credit in this course.

    Prerequisite(s): ZOO 138/138L, or ZOO 201/201L , or ZOO 238/238L .
    Component(s): 3 lectures/problem-solving, 1 three-hour laboratory.
    When Offered: Every other year
    Faculty: Moriarty.
  

  • ZOO 439/439L - Evolutionary Ecomorphology (2/2)

    The course focuses on how the form of animals is shaped by their natural environment and evolutionary history. Traditional and current methods in morphometrics, functional morphology, biomechanics, and animal ecology and behavior will be studied. Systems in terrestrial and aquatic environments, including feeding, locomotion, and social interactions, will be examined with respect to abiotic and biotic factors.

    Prerequisite(s): BIO 123/123L ; ZOO 201/201L  or ZOO 238/238L . BIO 211/211L ; PHY 121 /PHY 121L  are recommended
    Component(s): Laboratory reinforces principles and provides practical exposure to laboratory and field methods used in Evolutionary Ecomorphology, with special emphasis on animal performance testing. Laboratory includes a quarter project.
    When Offered: Every other year
    Note(s): Junior standing is required
    Faculty: Lappin.
  

  • ZOO 441/441L - Ichthyology (2/2)

    The structure, relationships, classification, general biology and zoogeography of fishes. Collection identification and field study of local species, and laboratory work with preserved and living material.

    Prerequisite(s): ZOO 138/138L, or ZOO 201/201L , or ZOO 238/238L .
    Component(s): 2 lectures/problem-solving and 2 three-hour laboratories.
    When Offered: Every other year
