MRS 241: Marine Biology

3.00 Credits

Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania

A study of plant and animal life in the marine environment. Emphasis on physical and chemical environmental factors affecting the biota in the intertidal, open water and benthic habitats. Common biota characteristics of each habitat will be investigated in terms of their natural history, morphology and ecological relationships. Three hours of lecture per week.

MRS 493: Behavioral Ecology

3.00 Credits

Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania

Designed to present animal behavior within an ecological and evolutionary context. Presents mathematical and theoretical framework of behavioral ecology. An in-depth exploration of the ways in which the behavior of animals is influenced by the environment, especially with regard to resource distribution.

MRSC 401: Marine Ichthyology

3.00 Credits

Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania

Applies concepts of anatomy, physiology, behavior, and evolution to study diversity of fishes. This course will provide students with an introduction to the ecology and taxonomic classification of fishes. Lectures will emphasize evolution and classification of major fish lineages, general fish anatomy and physiology, natural history, and conservation. Labs will concentrate on sampling techniques, identification, and life history of fishes from the eastern shore.

MRSC 402: Biology of Mollusks

3.00 Credits

Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania

Explores field surveys, laboratory studies, and comparative physiology to survey molluscan biodiversity and understand the environmental factors that govern their distribution. Students will also study the socio-economic importance of ecological services provisioned by mollusks; which include biofiltration, climate resiliency, and food sustenance.

MRSC 403: Marine Ecology

3.00 Credits

Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania

Presents the principles and techniques for ecological studies in coastal marine environments. This course surveys population, community, ecosystem, and evolutionary ecology with marine applications in industry and conservation. Students gain experience with techniques for measuring physical habitat and organism distribution and abundance. Lectures are integrated with experiences to emphasize data collection, data entry, and data analysis. Students design and complete a research project that demonstrates the application of ecological skills.
