Fall 2018 Zoology Courses With Open Seats

The following courses have open seats as of Tuesday 8/21 @ 9:30 AM. Descriptions of the courses are below.

  • ZO250 Animal Anatomy and Physiology
  • ZO402 Invertebrate Biology

ZO250 Animal Anatomy and Physiology: Roles of physical laws, environmental challenges, and evolutionary history in shaping animal structure and function. Selected examples from invertebrates and vertebrates. Laboratory in anatomy and physiology, hypothesis generation and testing and data analysis and presentation. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 183

ZO402 Invertebrate Biology: Over 90% of all animals are invertebrates, and many invertebrate species have proven extremely useful in medical and research applications. This course will survey invertebrate groups or clades [excluding the Protista], and will emphasize their functional biology, phylogeny, ecology, behavior, and use as models in research. Lab will emphasize an experimental approach and will involve work primarily with live material. Students may not receive credit for both ZO 402 and ZO 350. Prerequisite: A grade of C- or better in BIO 181 and BIO 183. Credit is not allowed for both ZO 402 and ZO 350.
