This course will involve a survey of the vertebrate groups with special emphasis on lower vertebrates (fishes, amphibians, reptiles) and mammals with lesser emphasis on birds. The evolution of vertebrates will be the central theme of the course and will be approached through the study of adaptive radiation in form and function. Lab periods will include laboratory exercises and field trips.
