BIOL 382b - Aquatic Vertebrates

Institution:

Vassar College

Subject:

Description:

Vertebrates arose as fish and later, as tetrapods, have independently and repeatedly re-evolved aquatic lineages. This confluence of origin and convergence offers us a chance to tease apart evolutionary and physiological causes. To do so, we analyze the phylogeny and function of the first vertebrates, the first tetrapods, whales and dolphins, sea turtles, and seals and sea lions. Mr. Long. Not offered in 2008/09.
