Description:

Prerequisite: BIO 185 (grade of C- or higher) This course explores the form and function of vertebrate anatomy, physiology and behavior, which is specifically discussed in light of the ecology and evolution of this diverse group of organisms. A strong emphasis is placed on general principles of ecology and evolution, such as how different taxa impact their respective ecological communities, the key innovations that promoted various adaptive radiations, and how recent studies of vertebrate developmental genetics are expanding our broader understanding of phenotypic evolution. The material is presented via lectures, laboratory activities and discussions of primary literature. *Field trips may be required at the student's expense.
