BIO-315 Marine Biology HOME EMAIL Biology of the Seashore Marine Biology ... Oak Ridge Science Semester
This course will be taught every other year in May Term. The course is a laboratory science credit and may be applied to a biology major.
Course Description: This course will survey marine organisms, emphasizing tropical systems. The primary field analyses will focus on the dynamics of coral reefs, tidal regions, turtle grass meadows, and adjacent terrestrial environments. A portion of the term will be spen t on campus in preparation for the field study which will be conducted at the Bahamian Field Station on San Salvador Island. Instruction will include lectures, both on campus and at the field station, library assignments and extensive exercises in the fi eld. Evaluation will be based on quizzes, student presentations and participation in class discussion and field activities. Overview for Prospective Students: This course is designed to introduce students who have had no formal instruction in marine science to selected aspects of marine and island biology. The course starts with a week on the Coe campus. Students attend lecture presentations on the diversity of marine organisms and complete independent library study of the life histories and taxonomic characteristics of two groups of organisms of their choice. The study guides and visual teaching aids they prepare are used to teach other students about the life histories organisms we see in the Bahamas.

Coral reefs
Coral Structure
  • Reef builders in phylum Cnidaria (jellyfish, anemones, hydroids); Colony of individual animals -polyps; Tentacles have nematocysts (stinging cells) for prey capture; Polyps secrete calcium carbonate around the sac-like body in a radial arrangement of vertical plates - growth upwards; Dioeceous and hermaphrodite spp exist - mass spawning allows dispersal; Asexual reproduction (budding) produces a colony of genetically identical animals connected by tissue extensions.LI>
Corals may be
  • hermatypic - reef builders found in warm subtropical regions ahermatypic - non-builders found over wide depth range from tropics to polar regions
Most of these notes are about hermatypic corals and their reefs, but a new section has been added dealing with ahermatypic corals. Hermatypic corals contain photosynthetic dinoflagellates (zooxanthellae) from the Symbiodinium genus. These are located in the gut lining and may number up to 30000 cells/mm . Coral colour is related to zooxanthellae pigments so expulsion under conditions causing stress results in coral 'bleaching' eg during El Nino. The relationship between corals and dinoflagellates is mutualistic - Coral polyp provides : Zooxanthellae provide : protection oxygen living space food (e.g. glucose, amino acids) - up to 90%

Mytilus edulis (The common or edible mussel)
Figure numbers refer to diagrams handed out during the lecture.
Phylum Mollusca
Molluscs are conspicuous invertebrates, including familiar forms such as clams, oysters, mussels squids, octopus, snails. In abundance the molluscs comprise the largest invertebrate phylum aside from the arthropods Ð 80,000 living species and 35,000 fossil species. Molluscs are a heterogeneous assemblage but all built on the same fundamental plan (Figure 1). Molluscs are unsegmented coelomate animals with a head, ventral muscular foot, dorsal visceral hump, soft mantle covering visceral hump which secretes a calcareous shell, mantle cavity, anus and kidneys opening into mantle cavity, a pair of ctenidia (gills) (originally for breathing) within the mantle cavity (Figure1).
Class Lamellibranchiata (Bivalves)
Bivalves are molluscs with bilaterally symmetrical body, laterally compressed and enclosed by a shell that develops two valves hinged dorsally (Figure 2). The foot like the remainder of the body is also laterally compressed, the mantle cavity is capacious and the gills are large having assumed the role of food collecting as well as respiration. (Figure 2) Most of the characteristics represent modifications that enabled Bivalves to leave the hard substratum, to which the ancestral molluscs were confined, and take up an existence in the much more numerous soft bottom habitats. The lateral compression and development of a strong muscular foot for burrowing led to a degree of specialisation that confined almost all Bivalves to the soft sediment environment. Only a few groups have subsequently migrated to other habitats.

Contact Us Marine Biology Laboratory in Barbados Every third year since 1972, the Biology Department has offered a Marine Biology Laboratory course with field activities based at McGill University's marine field station located on the island of Barbados in the West Indies. The Biology Department will offer this laboratory again during Academic Year 2003-2004. The prerequisite for participation in the laboratory is having taken Biology 284, a lecture course in Marine Biology given each fall term. The laboratory will be given during January 2004, prior to the start of the Spring semester. This laboratory class is limited to 14 students. McGill University's field station, The Bellairs Marine Research Institute, is located at St. James, Barbados, on the west shore of the island, about 8 mi. N of Bridgetown, the capital. The major emphasis of the course is the ecology of tropical marine systems of the Atlantic and Caribbean Sea. From the lecture portion of the course, each student should be familiar with the basic subject matter of Marine Biology as it applies to Florida coast and Caribbean marine ecosystems. The laboratory activities in Barbados will consist of comprehensive in-field ecological survey/analyses of representative tropical marine ecosystems

    http://eebweb.arizona.edu/Marine/biology/gen-info.htm
    General Information Marine Biology is a survey course designed to provide a basic understanding of the physical, biological, and ecological processes in the sea. Our goal is to instill an appreciation for the diversity of the world's marine habitats. We emphasize the excitement and adventure of exploring the marine environment as well as the complexity of problems facing the balance of nature in the sea. We assume you have no previous training in science or biology. We do however, assume you have an interest in marine life and the ability to compete in a fast-paced college course. Marine Biology The course staff will include Professor Donald A. Thomson, and course coordinator Shaun Pipes. Also on staff are 20 undergraduate teaching assistants selected from those students who previously did superior work in the class. The corps of teachers provides skilled and personalized instruction despite a large enrollment. Lab As much as possible, labs will include living organisms and hands-on experience. Labs will supplement class lectures and will be covered on exams. Students will complete lab exercises that will guide them through the material covered in each lab. Students are also encouraged to take additional notes from short lectures delivered by their T.A. and other materials in the labs. There are 9 labs with exercises worth 15 points each (lowest completed score dropped). Each student will also give an oral presentation in the lab (25 points). A paper covering the same subject is worth 50 points. There will also be pre-lab assignments (found in the lab manual) due before each lab, totaling 30 points, and a lab practical at the end of the semester, worth 100 points.

    Castro/Huber: Marine Biology
    Changes to the 3 rd Edition
    • Entire text has been updated to reflect new research and changes in perspective.
    • Change in classification of algae as protists rather than plants in accordance with the almost general consensus among phycologists.
    • Chapter 17 has been reorganized to reflect changing perspectives of the relative importance of habitat alteration and pollution in the marine environment.
    • There are new boxed readings on ocean imaging and the introduction of invasive species, and many other boxed readings have been substantially revised.
    • New information is presented on harmful algal blooms, including blooms of Pfiesteria.
    • The coverage of El Niño. Southern Oscillation phenomenon has been updated with information from the dramatic events of 1997-98.
    • Somewhat increased emphasis has been placed on the role of microbes in marine ecosystems.
    • The text has been reorganized in many places to provide more balanced coverage and improve the logical sequence.
