    Introduces principles of endocrinology, role of endocrine systems in regulating metabolism, growth, reproduction, and lactation in mammals. Prerequisite: ANSC 3010 or ZOO 2100 or 4240. Dual listed with ZOO 4260. Cross listed with ANSC 5260.
  • 4.00 Credits

    This course will help students prepare a scientific manuscript for submission to a peer-reviewed journal; in so doing, students will become more effective, efficient, and confident writers. Students will learn principles of effective writing, how to prepare a manuscript for publication, navigate the peer-review process, and write a constructive review. Prerequisite: Students must have graduate standing and an analyzed dataset on which the manuscript will be based. Students must have approval from their advisors and key collaborators before embarking on this journey. We also encourage students to maintain this approval throughout the semester.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Examines the basic properties of neurons and from there identifies determinants of brain development and how neuronal circuits are formed. How neuronal circuits underlie processing sensory information, coordinated movement, complex functions (e.g. sleep, learning) and homeostasis are discussed. Dual listed with ZOO 4280. Prerequisites: ZOO 3115 or equivalent.

    Science communication skills are essential transferable skills for our graduate students. Advanced Approaches to SciComm will provide a reliable, predictable course that offers professional, hands-on training in public facing science communication.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Through lecture and discussion of research articles, students learn mechanisms of nervous system development, from the birth and differentiation of neurons to the formation of synapses and circuits. Focus is on classical experiments done in vertebrates (Xenopus tadpole, chick, zebrafish, and mouse) and invertebrates (nematode and drosophila). Prerequisite: Graduate standing.
  • 5.00 Credits

    Concepts of vertebrate ecology integrated with the art of wildlife management, stressing approaches to deal with the inherent uncertainty of managing populations. Strategies to increase or decrease populations of target species, tools used to determine population status (e.g. viability analysis, monitoring, habitat assessment), and ecosystem management approaches are discussed. Lab included. Dual listed with ZOO 4300. Prerequisites: LIFE 3400, STAT 2050 or 2070, and ZOO 2450.
  • 3.00 Credits
