BIO 342 - Herpetology with Lab
Herpetology with Lab Prerequisites: BIO 120, BIO 140, BIO 230 and BIO 240 ; each course must have been completed with a final grade of C- or better. This summer course provides biology majors with an introduction to herpetology, the study of amphibians and repiles. An emphasis is placed on evolutionary patterns and processes, through which we examine how organisms interact with the biotic and abiotic components of their environment. Additionally, we consider how these interactions shape the diversity and distribution of amphibian and reptile assemblages from local to global scales. We also consider the relevance of amphibians and reptiles to other applied branches of biology, including conservation and invasion ecology. During our laboratory sessions, we use standard field techniques to survey and analyze the diversity of herpetofaunal communities throughout Connecticut. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit hours 0.000 OR 3.000 Lecture hours 0.000 OR 3.000 Lab hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Laboratory, Lecture, Lecture and Lab Biology Department Course Attributes: Biology Senior Status Courses Restrictions: May not be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Non Credit Prerequisites: Prerequisite BIO 342 General Requirements: ( Course or Test: BIO 120 May not be taken concurrently. ) and ( Course or Test: BIO 140 May not be taken concurrently. ) and ( Course or Test: BIO 240 May not be taken concurrently. ) and ( Course or Test: BIO 230 May not be taken concurrently. )
