A. THE STRUCTURE OF THE SECOND YEAR

In each year of a degree course you are required to take units to a total value of 120 credits. You must

take a total value of at least 40 credits in each semester, but it is highly advisable to achieve as near a

balanced load as possible between the semesters. A perfectly balanced load would be 60 credits in each

semester, but a 50-70 balance would be entirely acceptable. A 40-80 split would only be considered under

exceptional circumstances.

Each degree course within the Department of Animal & Plant Sciences has a specified structure at level 2,

consisting of compulsory units that you must take, and approved units that you choose from a list specified

for each degree course.

F. CONTENTS OF LECTURE COURSE MODULES

Modules offered by the Department of Animal & Plant Sciences

APS206 Biotechnology and Food Security (Co-ordinator: Professor R C Leegood)

This course will consider agricultural productivity, crop protection, breeding and genetic engineering of plants in three blocks of lectures. These emphasise the production of agricultural crops including non-food products, the biotic and abiotic factors which can affect productivity and the use of breeding and genetic manipulation to improve crop performance. Biotic factors include such topics as weeds, insect pests and pathogens and sink-source relationships in crop plants. Abiotic factors include economic constraints, the structure of canopies and light interception, effects of pesticides on the environment, genetic manipulation to provide resistance to pests and pathogens and the use of fertilisers and other chemicals.

APS209 Animal Behaviour (Co-ordinator: Dr F Hunter)

The course will provide an introduction to animal behaviour through lectures, the text book and the SCLE. The main focus will be on answering questions in animal behaviour through testing hypotheses about the adaptive significance ('why') or mechanism ('how') of particular behaviours. The main areas studied will be foraging, reproductive behaviour, mating systems, cooperative breeding and communication. The course will also introduce the use of theory and mathematical modelling (game theory and optimization modelling). This will require simple mathematics and the analysis of simple figures and tables showing the costs and benefits of particular behaviours. There is a compulsory SCLE based on special readings. These are short research articles on animal behaviour with additional notes by the lectures to help students understand the article.

APS211 Insects (Co-ordinator: Professor M Siva-Jothy)

Insects are the predominant faunal component of many terrestrial ecosystems and are increasingly furnishing biology with genetical, physiological and behavioural paradigms. This course will provide a broad based training in entomology through the use of lectures and a student-centred learning exercise. Fundamental aspects of insect biology will be conveyed through lectures and students will have the opportunity to pursue an advanced topic in entomology via the student-centred learning exercise.

APS216 Plant, Cell and Environment (Co-ordinator: Dr S Rolfe)

This course will cover several aspects of plant ecophysiology with special reference to plant adaptations in extreme environments. The aim of the course is to provide an understanding of some of the survival strategies and physiological mechanisms that enable plants to function in a variety of ecological environments. For example, Crassulacean Acid Metabolism as a survival strategy in environments with only a periodic supply of water; the response of mesophytes to water stress and arctic plants to cold arid environments. Light, temperature and water are the major environmental variables considered in the course with reference to their availability in specific ecological habitats.

14

APS220 Evolutionary Biology

(Co-ordinator: Dr R Snook)

This course will describe major concepts in evolutionary biology, illustrated with a wide range of examples that cut across taxa. The course will begin with a brief historical introduction, followed by a discussion of the origins of variation, adaptation, and natural selection illustrated by numerous examples. Population genetics concepts are briefly summarised, with particular attention to the persistence of genetic variation. Examples of microevolution will be used to show that evolution is a continuous and ongoing process. Species concepts and theories of speciation will be discussed and illustrated by examples of adaptive radiation. The evolution of sex and sexual selection, with particular attention to female choice, will be considered and characterised with recent examples from the literature. The course will contrast homology and analogy and explain the importance of homology in inferring evolutionary history and phylogenetic reconstruction. The evolution of cooperation under kin selection, genomic conflict and coevolution will also be discussed.

APS222 Animal and Plant Science Tutorials

(Co-ordinator: Dr F Hunter)

This module provides training in intermediate and advanced level generic and subject-related study skills that are necessary to undertake research in biology and communicate biology effectively to scientific and non-scientific audiences. Training will be provided: different forms of scientific writing (including essays, abstracts, reports and scientific papers); analysis and evaluation of complex biological information (including problem solving); acquisition and synthesis of scientific information (including the use of advanced databases); and presentation of complex scientific information (seminars and debates). Teaching will be provided in the form of small-group tutorials, during which students will be exposed to current key topics and recent developments in biology. These will provide the material for the development of the generic skills described above. Evaluation will be based on continual assessment of written work, exercises and presentations conducted through the two semester module.

APS223 World Ecosystems

(Co-ordinator: Dr C P Osborne)

The module examines the structure and function of selected global ecosystems, with a special emphasis on interactions between the biota (plant and animal) and the environment. Five important and contrasting ecosystems will be selected for special attention: tropical rain forests; boreal forests; wetlands; mediterannean ecosystems; and arctic ecosystems. For each of these, there will be an introduction to the evolutionary history of the ecosystem and its present day climate and soils. This will be followed by an examination of structural and functional aspects of the ecosystem, including factors that control and maintain ecosystem structure and biodiversity. The module will also consider key adaptations to environment and where appropriate the impact of humans on the ecosystem.

APS240 Data Analysis

(Co-ordinator: Professor P Warren)

This course provides training in the analysis and presentation of biological data through the application of computers for statistical analysis and graphical presentation. The course uses self-teaching material involving individual use of computers, together with project work. The application of a wide range of statistical techniques which are commonly used by biologists is illustrated using the MINITAB statistical program with data drawn from botanical, zoological and ecological studies.

15

APS245 Freshwater Ecology Field Course


This Course will: - Introduce a range or organisms, their identification and approaches of studying their ecology with particular reference to upland streams and rivers, and their surroundings. - Introduce a range of basic techniques used in ecological investigations, with particular reference to those appropriate for aquatic ecosystems, including monitoring techniques used in management for water quality. - Help to develop an understanding of the environmental factors and community processes that are important in determining the species composition and distribution in flowing water ecosystems, and the asscociated riparian habitat. - Introduce some of the problems of management of such systems under multiple uses such as water suppy, recreation and biodiversity conservation. Only available to Ecology and Biology with Conservation and Biodiversity students.

APS246 Plant Habitats and Distribution

(Co-ordinator: Dr J Graves)

This course will: provide experience of work in the laboratory and in the field; provide an introduction to the techniques employed in the study of plants in relation to their habitats and the vegetation in which they occur; develop skills in record keeping, observation, sampling, identification, problem solving, task-oriented team work, data interpretation, communication and the application of biological principles; and help develop an understanding of aspects of the plant environment and the importance of environmental variables and plant traits in controlling species distributions. This course consists of an integrated series of 12 sessions which include lectures and practical work relevant to understanding controls on plant distributions and community composition. The course includes 2 field excursions (soil and vegetation sampling), 7 practical classes (soil chemical analysis, experimental ecology, vegetation data analysis and vegetation processes), 8 lectures and 1 session for synthesis, interpretation and presentation of the data for the module as a whole. Only available to students registered for Biology, Ecology, Plant Science, Environmental Science, Biology with Conservation & Biodiversity and Landscape Architcture & Ecology.

APS260 Animal Diversity Practical

(Co-ordinator; Dr P Watt)

This module will teach students how to: (1) assign animals to major Phyla (and review why they have done so), (2) use a biological key to identify specimens, (3) observe and identify animals in the field. Animal Diversity comprises seven self-directed, task-driven practical classes (five in the laboratory, two in the field). Restricted to students registered for Biology, Zoology, Animal Behaviour, Biology with Conservation & Biodiversity and Biology with a Modern Language. MUST TAKE WITH APS272 Animal Diversity.

APS 262 Biology Projects

(Co-ordinator: Dr J Graves)

This 5-credit practical unit uses a different approach to other practical modules students may be used to. During the six practical sessions students, in a group of 3-4, will identify a biological question, generate predictions, design methods of data collection that allow them to test the predictions, collect data in the field, analyse the data using the statistical package Minitab and finally present their projects using Powerpoint. Restricted to students registered for Biology, Plant Science, Zoology, Animal Behaviour and Biology with a Modern Language.

16

APS 263 Insect Biology

(Co-ordinator: Professor M Siva-Jothy)

This unit examines insect behaviour and some of its underlying mechanisms. Each practical consists of a set exercise and a class discussion of results. Students examine insect locomotion, feeding, sexual behaviour, grooming and gas exchange. Assessment is done via a spot test (in which students can use the notebooks they have kept through the practicals) and the outcome of the discussions and presentations at the end of each practical. Restricted to students registered for Biology, Zoology, Animal Behaviour, Biology with Conservation & Biodiversity and Biology with a Modern Language.

APS 265 Environmental Biology

(Co-ordinator: Professor R C Leegood)

These practicals will examine various aspects of plant growth and development. Students will work in small groups to design, set up and execute an investigation of aspects such as growth analysis, carbohydrate and protein content of plants (using gel electrophoresis), for example in plants grown under different light intensities and different nutrient regimes. The practical write-up will be aided by a group discussion of the interpretation of the results obtained by the whole class. Restricted to students registered for Biology, Plant Science and Biology with a Modern Language.

APS 266 Ecology Projects


This course will: Provide students with the knowledge and training in practical and intellectual skills required to describe and evaluate the diversity and distribution of organisms in natural habitats and to critically understand sampling and data analysis methodologies required for such studies. By the end of the unit, a student will be able to demonstrate: (i) practical skills in designing, conducting and reporting on ecological field investigations; (ii) a critical understanding of the sampling and data analysis methodologies used in investigating invertebrate communities; (iii) a practical knowledge of invertebrate taxonomy; (iv) an ability to communicate research in the form of a scientific paper. During six practical sessions a student will work in small groups (2-4 students) to identify an ecological question, generate predictions, obtain data that allows them to test the predictions and finally write up the project as a research paper. Students will conduct field-based projects that investigate the importance of study design and sampling methodology in ecological studies and that provide information on the biodiversity, community structure and distribution of organisms in a natural habitat. Restricted to students registered for Ecology and Biology with Conservation & Biodiversity and Biology with a Modern Language.

APS 269 Palaeobiology

(Co-ordinator: Professor C Wellman)

The task of palaeobiology is to provide greater integration between palaeontology and biology. This course examines recent developments in the field of palaeobiology, and demonstrates how fossils are used to generate testable theories about pattern in the history of life. This course will begin with 9 lectures outlining modern concepts in palaeobiology, and demonstrated using examples from all aspect of palaeontology, but concentrating on dinosaur palaeobiology. These same principles will then be explored using human evolution as a case study (9 lectures).

17

APS 271 Conservation Principles (Co-ordinator: Dr K Evans)

This module will introduce students to the fundamental principles of conservation biology that influence conservation programmes around the globe. Following a brief examination of the rationales for conservation the course discusses some of: (i) the fundamental issues in conservation planning, such as selecting appropriate units for conservation and priority assessment (ii) the research tools commonly used by conservationists, such as population viability analysis (iii) the ways in which ecological theory guides conservation action. These topics are illustrated using case studies of animal and plant conservation in both terrestrial and marine ecosystems from temperate and tropical regions.

APS 272 Animal Diversity (Co-ordinator: Dr P J Watt)

This course will examine the major animal phyla that make up the animal kingdom. It will discuss their structure and how this is related to function and way of life. The major invertebrate groups will be considered including the Porifera, cnidarians, protostomes and deuterostomes. The unique features of the vertebrates and the constituent vertebrate classes will be examined. The biology of the fishes, the evolution of the jaw, the colonisation of the land, the origins of flight and the evolutionary innovations of the mammals will be addressed. The emphasis throughout will be on natural history, development, behaviour, ecology and evolutionary relationships

APS 273 Population and Community Ecology 2 (Co-ordinator: Dr A Beckerman)

This course will examine major themes in population and community ecology, across plants, animals and their interactions with each other and their environment. It focuses on cross-cutting themes in ecology and evolution including life history, predation, competition, disease and biodiversity. It will begin by building deep theoretical understanding of life cycles, population growth, and species interactions. It will provide insight into common patterns and unique properties among plants and animals of the factors that determine the abundance, diversity and distribution of species. It provides insight into the role of species interactions and the environment in controlling biodiversity and ecosystem function.

APS 274 The Molecular Revolution in Biology (Co-ordinator: Professor R Butlin)

In this module, we will explore the nature of genes and genomes, the way in which they evolve, how they can tell us about the process of adaptive evolution and how genetic information is passed through RNA, proteins and metabolites to determine phenotypes. Techniques from genetics and molecular biology are having an enormous impact in organismal and population biology. We will introduce some of the latest technologies and give hands-on experience of generating and handling DNA sequence data.

APS 275 Ecological Interactions (Co-ordinator: Dr F Hunter)

This course aims to provide the opportunity for students to develop (i) their understanding of ecological interactions, (ii) their practical skills in ecology and (iii) their ability to think independently. This will be achieved by introducing students, through practical work in the laboratory and/or field, and independent reading, to one species, two species and multispecies interactions.

18

APS 276 Symbiosis (Co-ordinator: Dr D Cameron)

In this module, we will explore the nature of symbiosis between plants, animals, bacteria and fungi. We will investigate the “continuum of symbiosis” from parasitism to mutualism using specific examples drawn form natural and agricultural ecosystems to demonstrate how symbionts regulate the structure and function of host communities and the challenge their control poses. We will investigate methods of controlling parasites as well as how symbionts may be harnessed to regulate host communities in restoration ecology, for biological control and ecosystem service provision (e.g. pollinators) using an integrated teaching approach employing lectures and guest seminars from specific experts in the field.

APS 277 Careers for Biologists (Co-ordinator: )

The Career Development for Biologists module will explore career paths open to biology graduates including employment as a professional biologist, postgraduate study, teaching, enterprise activities and the development of transferable skills. Students will identify and research career options and the skills that they have, or need to acquire, to pursue these options. They will develop and implement an action plan during the course of the module, and participate in the APS careers fair. Teaching methods will include seminars, group work and portfolio development.
