AMS 338 - American Communal Experiments
Credits: 3.00
Throughout American history, inspired individuals have grouped together in an attempt to craft a new American society, a utopia to improve, or replace, institutions of the mainstream society of the day. Some groups- such as the Shakers-chose a celibate, communal life. Others- such as the Oneida Perfectionists- chose a lifestyle of multiple marriage partners. The Woman's Commonwealth was entirely female; the Koreshan Unity believed we inhabit the inside of a hollow sphere. By studying a variety of communal experiments from the late 18th century to present day, we'll gain insight into the social, economic, political, and other problems that challenged Americans in times both past and present and led some to attempt to create a better society.

BIO 420 - Marine Biology Topics
Credits: 3.00
This is an upper-level seminar course exploring in detail an advanced topic in marine biology . Topics can include new areas of marine biology such as: threatened and endangered marine mammals and marine resource ecology. Three previous credits of 300 level Biology (C- or higher) is required. Topics vary by semester. Recent topics include:

MARINE MAMMALS & POLICY: In this course marine mammals, particularly threatened and endangered species, are used as case studies to study legislation designed to protect them. We will examine the Endangered Species Act, the Marine Mammal Protection Act, Recovery Plans, and other governmental efforts to protect species in jeopardy. We will also evaluate whether or not these efforts have succeeded in improving population numbers for these species. Current controversies concerning marine mammals such as noise in the ocean will be investigated, and several experts in the field will discuss these issues with the class. Participation in class discussions and student presentations are required in this class.

DEEP SEA BIOLOGY: This course will investigate the unique biology associated with life in the deep oceans. Specific themes will vary depending on student-generated interests but may include: physiology and ecology of bioluminescence, pressure effects, chemosensory and mechanosensory adaptations, evolutionary questions, specialized fauna (chemosynthesis-based communities), problems of reproduction, metabolism, collection, identification and systematics. Students will be expected to develop presentations on topic areas of their own choosing. The instructor will provide background lectures and highlight topic areas suitable for developing student-lead discussions.

MARINE CONSERVATION BIOLOGY: The course studies an important component in determining the cause of species decline, specifically extinction due to over-exploitation, habitat destruction, and the introduction of non-native species. Closely related species react dissimilarly to disturbances and knowing how species interact behaviorally with their environment is a key to understanding how they might be best conserved. The impact of humans can be reduced through modifying human behavior is an important component of conservation studies. The marine environment presents a unique set of challenges to conservation biologists, and emphasis will be on marine species and examination of case studies.

POLAR BIOLOGY: The Arctic and Antarctic are literally poles apart, not only geographically, but with respect to the organisms that have adapted to these extreme environments. This seminar course compares and contrasts the two polar regions: the Antarctic, a continent surrounded by the vast Southern Ocean, and the Arctic, an ocean surrounded by land. A multidisciplinary approach to the study of polar organisms (including evolution, ecology, physiology, geology, paleontology, oceanography, meteorology, anthropology, and conservation) affords students from a variety of backgrounds an opportunity to investigate topics of partic
