BIOL 215 - Animal Diversity

Units: 4
Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week
This course will survey the animal kingdom emphasizing the continuity of animal life from simple to more complex body forms and life histories. The diversity of animal life is projected on a framework of basic ecological and evolutionary concepts. Human interactions with animals are explored through management and conservation issues as well as historical examples from the sciences of zoology, classification and evolution. Field trips to selected sites will allow direct examination of local animal diversity.
A lab fee is required.
