This course is a continuation of BI 101. Lecture material will derive from the concepts presented in the text. BI 102 will focus upon evolutionary principles including selection, speciation, phylogeny, and homology; ecological principles including population and community dynamics, niche theory, competition, trophic levels and symbiosis; and the structure and functioning of specific organ systems. Laboratory topics will complement lecture material as well as include use of the scientific method activities as a means of reinforcing lecture material and preparing for an original research project to be conducted at the end of the semester.
