BIOL 311 Invertebrate Zoology
The biology, diversity, and evolution of form and function in the major invertebrate phyla are examined. Presentations of exemplary invertebrate groups include discussions of classification and phylogenetic relationships, comparative morphology and physiology, development, life history strategies, and behavioral ecology. The defining characteristics of major taxa are emphasized along with economically and medically important species. In lab, the structure and function of representative members of major invertebrate phyla are investigated by microscopy or by the observation of living or dissected specimens. Prerequisites: BIOL 101, BIOL 202, BIOL 203.
