Study the functional biology, ecology and behavior of mammals. Laboratory stresses the identification and ecology of Colorado species. Field work required. Investigate the biology of the cold-blooded vertebrates including their evolution, ecology and behavior.
Laboratory stresses the identification and biology of Colorado species.
Study the organ systems of the human body, their structure and integration. Laboratory includes examination of mammalian organs and cadaver. Two semesters of introductory biology. A study of the comparative developmental processes of vertebrates as they relate to the structure of the adult organ systems. Developmental anatomy and adult morphology of the sharks through mammals are considered for laboratory study and dissection.
