1.50 Credits
Principles of animal physiology presented through an organsystem approach. Cellular and molecular mechanisms also discussed to provide current views of physiological principles. Emphasis on mammals, but other vertebrate taxa also covered. Laboratory reinforces physiological principles and provides exposure to basic methodology, equipment, and data analysis. Prerequisites: BIO 211/211L and BIO 310. Corequisites: ZOO 428/428L. Eskandari.

3.00 Credits
The evolution, ecology, anatomy, and physiology of birds with emphasis on species of the Pacific Coast. Two halfday field trips (held on weekends) are required for credit in this course. 3 lectures/problemsolving, 1 threehour laboratory. Prerequisite: ZOO 138/138L, or ZOO 201/201L, or ZOO 238/238L. Moriarty.

1.00 Credits
The course focuses on how the form of animals is shaped by their natural environment and evolutionary history. Traditional and current methods in morphometrics, functional morphology, biomechanics, and animal ecology and behavior will be studied. Systems in terrestrial and aquatic environments, including feeding, locomotion, and social interactions, will be examined with respect to abiotic and biotic factors. Laboratory reinforces principles and provides practical exposure to laboratory and field methods used in Evolutionary Ecomorphology, with special emphasis on animal performance testing. Laboratory includes a quarter project. Prerequisites: BIO 123/123L; ZOO 201/201L or ZOO 238/238L. BIO 211/211L; PHY 121/121L are recommended. Junior standing is required. Lappin.
-
1.00 Credits
The structure, relationships, classification, general biology and zoogeography of fishes. Collection identification and field study of local species, and laboratory work with preserved and living material. 2 lectures/problemsolving and 2 threehour laboratories. Prerequisite: ZOO 138/138L, or ZOO 201/201L, or ZOO 238/238L. Staff.
-
14.00 Credits
Group study of a selected topic for upperdivision students. Course title and number of units are specified in advance.
