• EEB 430: Invasion Biology

  3.00 Credits

  The University of Tennessee - Knoxville

  
  History, biology, and management of biological invasions, geography, and scale of invasions, ecological effects, impacts to humans, and evolution of introduced and native species. Differences between “introduced” and “invasive” species will inform discussions about prevention, regulation, detection, management, and eradication. Comprehensive consideration of interesting case studies. Apply knowledge in a variety of scenarios and fields. Discussion of controversies surrounding biological invasions and prospects for the future of invasions considering biotic homogenization, animal rights, human activity, climate change, and management with new technologies.

• EEB 432: Ecological Genetics & Genomics

  3.00 Credits

  The University of Tennessee - Knoxville

  
  Population genetics is the foundation of evolutionary biology. This course explores the ways genetics and genomics can help us understand big questions in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. Topics include the relationship between genetic variation and population dynamics, ecological polymorphism, behavioral ecology, and conservation genetics.

• EEB 435: Ecophysiology

  3.00 Credits

  The University of Tennessee - Knoxville

  
  Fundamental principles of animal and plant physiology are covered in other courses. This course will provide the ecological and evolutionary context of physiological adaptation of animals and plants to their environments. Students will gain knowledge of organismal adaptation and responses to environments, specifically the physiological responses of plants and animals to environmental conditions: solar radiation, temperature, CO2, O2, water, and nutrients. Students will improve scientific comprehension skills through assigned paper readings and case studies.
