Prerequisite: Biology 101L or 118; recommended, prior or concurrent registration in Biology 119. Instructor: Spana
-
3.00 Credits
Principles of development, from gametogenesis to adulthood. Gene regulatory network control, genetic analysis of early specification, dynamics of morphogenesis, evolution of developmental mechanisms. Current topics from a wide range of model animals and plants. Prerequisite: Biology 117 or 119, or equivalent. Instructor: McClay
-
2.00 Credits
Distribution and density of marine and semi-terrestrial tropical invertebrate populations; behavioral and mechanical adaptations to physical stress, competition, and predation using rapid empirical approaches and hypothesis testing.
