BIOHOPK 270H: Topics in Marine Biology (BIOHOPK 170H)

(Graduate students register for 270H.) A topic of current interest to marine science explored through primary literature. Prerequisite: Biology core or consent of instructor. May be repeated for credit.
Terms: Win | Units: 1 | Repeatable for credit
Instructors: Lowe, C. (PI)

BIOHOPK 271H: Ecological and Evolutionary Physiology (BIOHOPK 171H)

(Graduate students register for 271H.) The interplay between environmental factors, such as temperature, light, nutrient supply, salinity, and oxygen availability, and adaptive change at the physiological level. Emphasis is on marine species and the roles played by physiological adaptations in establishing their distribution and performance. Prerequisite: Biology core or consent of instructor.
Terms: Spr | Units: 4
Instructors: Somero, G. (PI)

BIOHOPK 272H: Marine Ecology (BIOHOPK 172H)

(Graduate students register for 272H.) Focus is on quantitative approaches to questions in marine ecology and ecophysiology. Statistical methods, including multivariate statistical approaches and meta-analysis. Prerequisite: Biology core or consent of instructor.
Terms: Win | Units: 5
Instructors: Micheli, F. (PI)

BIOHOPK 273H: Marine Conservation Biology (BIOHOPK 173H)

(Graduate students register for 273H.) The science of preserving marine diversity. Goal is to introduce students to major conservation issues associated with marine ecosystems. Topics include decline of open ocean fisheries, salmon conservation, bycatch issues in fisheries, use of marine reserves, marine invasions, marine pollution, and global warming. Includes five lecturers from other universities who specialize in marine conservation.
Terms: Spr | Units: 1-3 | Repeatable for credit
Instructors: Block, B. (PI)

BIOHOPK 274: Hopkins Microbiology Course (BIO 274S, CEE 274S, EESS 253S)

(Formerly GES 274S.) Four-week, intensive. The interplay between molecular, physiological, ecological, evolutionary, and geochemical processes that constitute, cause, and maintain microbial diversity. How to isolate key microorganisms driving marine biological and geochemical diversity, interpret culture-independent molecular characterization of microbial species, and predict causes and consequences. Laboratory component: what constitutes physiological and metabolic microbial diversity; how evolutionary and ecological processes diversify individual cells into physiologically heterogeneous populations; and the principles of interactions between individuals, their population, and other biological entities in a dynamically changing microbial ecosystem. Prerequisites: CEE 274A,B, or equivalents.
Terms: Sum | Units: 9-12 | Repeatable for credit

BIOHOPK 274H: Experimental Design and Probability (BIOHOPK 174H)

(Graduate students register for 274H.) Variability is an integral part of biology. Introduction to probability and its use in designing experiments to address biological problems. Focus is on analysis of variance, when and how to use it, why it works, and how to interpret the results. Design of complex, but practical, asymmetrical experiments and environmental impact studies, and regression and analysis of covariance. Computer-based data analysis. Prerequisite: Biology core or consent of instructor.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3
Instructors: Watanabe, J. (PI)

BIOHOPK 275H: Synthesis in Ecology

Introduction to frameworks and approaches to synthesizing large data sets, including meta-analysis and permutational multivariate analysis of variance. Hands-on data analysis sessions. May be repeated for credit.
Terms: Win | Units: 2
Instructors: Micheli, F. (PI)

BIOHOPK 284H: Holistic Biology: Monterey Bay and the Sea of Cortez (BIOHOPK 184H)

(Graduate students register for 284H.) For majors and non-majors. Complexity in natural systems from complementary points of view, including scientific, historical, philosophical, and literary. The work and writings of Ed Ricketts and John Steinbeck and historical and contemporary works concerning marine ecology and fisheries. Field work, laboratory studies with living invertebrates, and an individual research project. Course includes a component in Baja California, Mexico. Only 6 units may count towards the Biology major.
Terms: Spr | Units: 16

BIOHOPK 285H: Ecology and Conservation of Kelp Forest Communities (BIOHOPK 185H)

Physical environment, identification, and natural history of resident organisms; ecological processes that maintain biodiversity and community organization; field methods, data analysis, and research diving techniques. Field research component contributse to ongoing studies associated with Hopkins Marine Life Observatory. Training meets requirements for Stanford scientific diver certification. Prerequisites: BIO 42 and 43, or BIO 42 and BIOHOPK 43, or consent of instructor; and advanced scuba certification and scuba equipment.
Terms: Sum | Units: 12
Instructors: Watanabe, J. (PI)

BIOHOPK 287H: Sensory Ecology (BIOHOPK 187H)

(Graduate students register for 287H.) Topics: the ways animals receive, filter, and process information gleaned from the environment, sensory receptor mechanisms, neural processing, specialization to life underwater, communication within and between species, importance of behavior to ecosystem structure and dynamics, impact of acoustic and light pollution on marine animals. Emphasis is on the current scientific literature.
