BIOL 248 Behavioral Ecology 6 credits
Behavioral ecologists strive to understand the complex ways that ecological pressures influence the evolution of behavioral strategies. It can be argued that animals face a relatively small set of basic challenges: they must acquire food, water, and mates, and they must avoid danger. Yet we see a rich diversity of solutions to these problems. Consider foraging behavior, for example. All animals must acquire energy, but some filter particles out of sea water, others graze on nearly inedible grasses, while still others hunt in cooperative packs. In this course we will consider such topics as foraging, communication, sociality, and conflict. By focusing on the functions and evolutionary histories of behaviors, we strive to better understand the puzzle of behavioral diversity.

BIOL 350 Evolution 6 credits
Principles and history of evolutionary change in wild populations, with consideration of both microevolutionary and macroevolutionary time scales. Topics covered include causes of change in gene frequency, the nature of adaptation, constraints on evolutionary change, the evolution of genes and proteins, rates of speciation and extinction, and the major events in evolutionary history.

ENTS 230 Remote Sensing of the Environment & Lab 6 credits
The advancement of aerial and satellite technology has allowed humans to view the planet in a unique light. This course dives deeply into the science of remote sensing to analyze Earth's dynamic surface and atmosphere. Students will learn to acquire, interpret, and apply imagery to detect environmental change and uncover spatiotemporal patterns. Topics include sensor systems, image processing, land cover classification, and change detection. Emphasis is placed on real-world applications in environmental studies, including human-environment interactions. Labs and projects build practical skills in remote sensing software and geospatial analysis. Ideal for students in ENTS, Geology, Physics, Biology, and related fields.
During registration, students will register for both the lecture and a corresponding lab section, which will appear on the student's academic transcript in a single entry.
