BIOEE 4461 - Plant Behavior and Biotic Interactions, Laboratory (crosslisted) BIONB 4461 , PLSCI 4461 Spring. 1 credit. Student option grading.
Prerequisite or corequisite: BIOEE 4460 , BIONB 4460 or PLSCI 4460 . Enrollment limited to: 12 students.
A. Kessler, T. Pawlowska, R. Raguso.
Laboratory course covering topics presented in BIOEE 4460 /BIONB 4460 /PLSCI 4460 .
Outcome 1: Students will be able to identify, explain, categorize and examine the ecological, physiological and molecular mechanisms of plant biotic interactions.
Outcome 2: Students will be able to discuss these mechanisms and interpret associated data analyses in the light of evolutionary theory and draw conclusions about potential agricultural applications.
Outcome 3: Students will be able to broadly apply and critically evaluate the four levels of proximate and ultimate causation for the study of biotic interactions in general.
Outcome 4: Students will be able to apply, categorize and integrate basic conceptual and analytical tools to describe complex behavioral interactions.
Outcome 5: Students will be able to discuss, contrast and design a number of experimental and synthetic approaches to analyzing and discovering chemical ecological processes including bioassays and chemical and molecular analyses including bioassays and chemical and molecular analyses.
Outcome 6: Students will read and be able to discuss, evaluate and objectively criticize original studies in the field.
Outcome 7: Provisioned with observations or a theoretical framework, students will be able to formulate scientific questions, derive hypotheses and design an appropriate experimental plan.
