Identify key ecological and coastal issues in Nova Scotia
[
BIOL 3623
]
Recall the general biology of marine mammal taxa
[
BIOL 3090
]
Understand the hierarchical levels of biological diversity and a range of metrics used to quantify it
[
BIOL 3065
]
Calculate different types of plant diversity.
[
BIOL 3066
]
Demonstrate critical and independent thinking skills to understand coastal policies and action plans in Nova Scotia
[
BIOL 3623
]
Describe the differences and similarities between marine and terrestrial mammals and their relative ecological importance
[
BIOL 3090
]
Understand the biology, ecology, assemblages and distributions of both plants and animals in coastal ecosystems (rocky shores, sandy shores, salt marshes, dunes, mudflats)
[
BIOL 3623
]
Understand the origins, taxonomic diversity, structure and ecological importance of the marine mammal orders and families
[
BIOL 3090
]
Understand the similarities and differences of the biology, ecology, assemblages and distributions of both plant and animal species of pristine versus human-impacted coastal zones (rocky shores, sandy shores, salt marshes, dunes, mudflats)
[
BIOL 3623
]
Understand what makes the same type of ecosystem (i.e. a salt marsh or a rocky shore) different in different areas of Nova Scotia
[
BIOL 3623
]
Generalize and appreciate animal diversity on a global scale.
[
BIOL 2003
]
Relate changes in animal systems to transition onto land
[
BIOL 2003
]
Describe insects' relationships with plants and other animals.
[
BIOL 3327
]
Describe the basic elements of how the field of ‘metagenomics’ examines the genetic diversity of microbial communities and how the new methods of DNA sequencing are revolutionizing this field
[
BIOL 3042
]
Discuss the genetics of invasive species
[
BIOL 3042
]
Know mechanisms for functional divergence at the molecular level that span a wide range of biological complexity. Understand how specific models of adaptive evolution explain real examples of functional divergence.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Understand how molecular evolutionary processes give rise to patterns of genetic diversity that we observe in the natural world, and how to use those patterns to make inferences about different processes.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Understand the importance of molecular evolution in the post-genomic era, and be able to explain this to non-specialists.
