BIO 502 - Comparative Functional Morphology An examination of the principles and breadth of vertebrate functional morphology. Emphasis on the linkage of structure and function from the comparative and phylogenetic perspectives. Students may not receive credit for both BIO 402 and 502. Not open to students with credit for BIO 542. Prerequisite: Four semesters of biology or permission of the instructor. Fulfills WI. (3 cr. hr.)
Frequency code O = offered occasionally
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Describe the organization and physical properties of vertebrate tissues, organs, and systems.
- Analyze how different vertebrate taxa are impacted by the physical properties of their environments.
- Explain how the physical properties of vertebrate tissues and structures determine their functioning.
- Explain how evolutionary / phylogenetic history and ecological interactions impact the tissues, organs, and structures of extant and extinct vertebrates.
