BI 334 Vertebrate Biology
Study of local and global vertebrate communities and the careers of people who work with them. Human-caused interactions between evolution, ecology, development, life history, behavior and functional morphology of fishes, mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles are emphasized. Natural history observations and a service learning project are required. A bound weatherproof field notebook is required for lab notes, field trips and natural history observations. We will focus on reading current primary literature and using field guides. This is a science communication course with many short written responses, observations, hypothesis papers, a service learning project and a research project.
Three lecture/discussion hours and three field/laboratory hours weekly.
Prerequisite: BI 211 and BI 242 or written permission of the instructor and Department Chair.
