This 4 credit hour course consists of 3 lectures and one 3-hour laboratory per week. The course is designed to provide the student with an overview of the broad field of zoology in regard to systematics and taxonomy, anatomy, physiology and ecology. Evolution, the unifying principle which brings order and meaning into the endless diversity of the animal kingdom, will be emphasized throughout the course. Lab and lecture complement each other. The lab itself will give the student the opportunity to investigate the anatomy of representative organisms and to perform exercises demonstrating physiological and ecological concepts within the main phyla of the animal kingdom.
