MSCI 331 - Ecological Physiology
An in-depth examination of the major physiological adaptations of marine organisms, including thermoregulation, respiration, circulation, water balance, acid-base balance, metabolism and energetics. Emphasis will be placed on how organisms are adapted to optimize physiological function under a variety of environmental conditions. We will also focus on the effects of environmental change on marine organismal physiology in the context of climate change (global warming, acidification, hypoxia).
Prerequisite(s)/Corequisite(s): [Prereq: (BIO 210 and BIO 211 ) and (PHYS 220 or PHYS 221 ) with a C- or better]
