A focus on the coral reef ecosystem from many biological perspectives -- anatomical, physiological, ecological, evolutionary and more. Coral reefs are threatened by many anthropogenic impacts, which are currently compounding to make this a critical decade for coral reef conservation efforts. The class will have lectures, readings of current research, discussions, and other assignments.

An overview of contemporary evolutionary biology with an emphasis on evolutionary processes. A non-introductory study of the interplay in time and space of genetic variety, ecological opportunity, and chance resulting in the evolutionary change in groups of organisms.

An advanced research project in an advanced student's field of general interest conducted under the supervision of an appropriate staff member, in the form of independent research leading to the solution of a problem. (Hours will be arranged)
