Pollination Biology (3) Flowering plants and their animal pollinators serve as key components for both natural ecosystems and agrosystems, and abound with interesting examples of ecology and evolution in action. Knowledge of pollination biology is thus broadly relevant, with applications in the fields of ecology, evolutionary biology, conservation, entomology, and horticulture. This course will provide students with a fundamental understanding of animal-mediated pollination, focusing on (1) plant and pollinator diversity, biology, and natural history, (2) the ecology and evolution of plant-pollinator relationships including pollination syndromes, mutualisms, and evolutionary strategies of generalists and specialists, (3) foraging economics and learning behavior (4) the important contributions pollinators make to natural ecosystems and agriculature, and (5) the factors that contribute to pollinator declines and possible conservation strategies.
Effective: Fall 2013 Ending: Fall 2013 Future: Fall 2013

Medical Entomology (3) This course will present principoles of transmission of human and animal pathogens by insects, mites, and ticks, and will discuss other non-transmission based aspects of medically important arthropods such as envenomization and forensic entomology. We will discuss basic arthropod biology with special attention to biological properties of vectors and their interactions with pathogens. We will cover basic components of arbopathogen disease cycles and principles of pathogen transmission dynamics. We will discuss the major groups of arthropod-borne pathogens and vectors. Special topics will include emergent pathogens, vector genetics, traditional and modern disease control strategies and venomous arthropods.
Effective: Spring 2014 Ending: Spring 2014 Future: Spring 2014
