PRE-REQS: Take BIO-2300 Take BIO-2300Z
This course provides an in-depth survey of the vertebrate animals beginning with fishes and ending with mammals. Emphasis will be placed on identification and evolution of vertebrates, comparative physiology, and descriptions of key characteristics and evolutionary innovations of the vertebrate classes, using a comparative approach. Laboratory will involve detailed observations of select vertebrates through behavioral observation, microscopy, dissection and field techniques.
Fully remote for Fall 2020. As a result, the laboratory focus of the course may change.
