3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 111/111L-112/112L or ENVS 101/101L-102/102L and CHEM 103/105L-104/106L and BIOL 323. Evolutionary biology addresses fundamental questions whose answers influence all other levels of biological understanding, from molecular and cellular biology to ecological processes. This course will provide a survey of the basic concepts of evolutionary biology, address empirical methods in evolutionary biology, and examine the importance of an evolutionary understanding across other sub-disciplines.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 111, 112, CHEM 103/105L, and 104/106L with a C- or better in all (BIOL 220 recommended). Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory.
