BIO 219 - Marine Biology
Credits: 4
An introduction to the biology of marine organisms, and the physiological traits and ecological relationships that influence the marine ecosystem. We consider how the interactions between organisms and their physical and biological environment (other organisms) affect the distribution and abundance of populations and ecosystems. We also take a comparative approach to the diversity of physiological systems that have evolved in different marine organisms to meet the environmental challenges they face (energy, water balance, reproduction, gas exchange, defense). Multiple lectures and one discussion period per week. Students may not receive credit for both BIO 219 and BIO 220 .
Distribution Requirements: QR, SP.
