This course uses an evolutionary approach to introduce organismal biology. The course stresses interrelatedness of different levels of biological organization from the cell to the organism. Topics include the cell cycle, animal and plant development, evolutionary mechanisms, speciation, and biodiversity. Examples are drawn from a broad range of animal, fungal, and plant groups. In addition to textbook assignments, articles from recent biological literature are assigned and discussed.
