BIO 336 - Evolution
Description
As a unifying principle of biology, evolution integrates genetics, molecular biology, physiology, development, behavior, and ecology. This course will cover the processes responsible for changes in living organisms over time with a focus on evidence for shared evolutionary history. Topics will include: the generation of new forms and new lineages; extinction; natural selection and adaptation; an assessment of genetics, genomics, and the molecular basis of evolution; evolutionary developmental biology; sexual selection; life history and behavioral evolution; and the history of evolutionary thought. We will also address applications of evolutionary biology to medicine, agriculture, conservation, anthropology and psychology. Three hours of lecture/discussion and three hours of lab per week.
