BIOL 314: Biodiversity: Coral Reefs
This is an intensive, field-based course that looks at a specific region, its biological diversity and the physical and biotic factors that are significant in controlling this diversity. A variety of organisms will be considered with most attention given to organisms that are most readily observed (common plants, vertebrates and insects). Students will learn about specific organisms and understand how their structure, physiology and behavior influence their distribution and thereby the diversity of a region. The course will take advantage of the unique features of a particular region to consider the processes and the physical and biological attributes that contribute to the biodiversity of a region. May be taken once for major credit. Prerequisites: Proficiency in Basic Requirement. BIOL 203, BIOL 222, or permission of the instructor. Offered during summer or during winter/spring break.

BIOL 346: Biology of Invertebrates-Lab
A survey of structure, classification, ecology, evolution, and physiology of the major groups of invertebrate animals. Field trips are sometimes scheduled outside the regular class period.

GSCI 314: Geology of Reefs
The study of the physio- chemical, geological, and biological processes that contribute to coral reef distribution and diversity. Topics covered in this course includes the biology of reef organisms, ecology of corals and the ecological dynamics of reefs, history of reefs, and earth processes that shape marine habitats and reef systems. The field portion of this course will take place at the Gerace Research Institute on San Salvador Island in The Bahamas during spring break. This study abroad experience will engage students in field surveys and research projects designed to explore questions related to reef development and biodiversity.
