BIOL 5237G - Physiological Ecology

Institution:

Georgia Southern University

Subject:

BIOL Biology

Description:

Examines how physiological adaptations of animals and plants to abiotic environmental factors (e.g., temperature, salinity, moisture, ultraviolet radiation) contribute to the understanding of local species diversity, biogeographic patterns, and habitat exploitation. Emphasis is placed on how physiological function (e.g., osmoregulation, thermoregulation, gas exchange, energy use) interfaces with ecology and evolutionary biology. Graduate students will be given an extra assignment determined by the instructor that undergraduates will not be required to do.
