EPOB 5340-3 . Evolutionary Morphology of Vertebrates. Advanced course in vertebrate structure and evolution, emphasizing current controversies and methods in the study of morphology. Material is drawn from a number of fields including comparative anatomy, paleontology, biomechanics, and developmental biology. Biological Field Studies.
Courses stress broad areas of biology and employ field approaches.
EPOB 5360-3 . Lecture and lab. EPOB 5380-3 . Respiratory Adaptations to the Environment. Investigates the evolutionary development of respiratory gas exchange systems, including the physical properties of gases and their exchange in burrows, water, high altitudes, and space, and models of how respiratory mechanisms have evolved in these environments.
