Description
Prerequisites: BIO 181
This is part two of a two semester sequence and involves the survey of Phyla Annelida through Arthropoda by using selected taxa to illustrate concepts in evolution, systematics, physiology, morphology, life history, ecology and behavior. Lectures will be focusing on organizing and interpreting information about invertebrate organisms in order to illustrate the following: evolutionary relationships within and between taxa as well as adaptations that allow species to inhabit specific habitats. Laboratories will supply preserved examples of taxa.
