This webpage provides information about Biology 110 - Evolution, Ecology, and Biodiversity. This webpage will change frequently as the course is taught during fall term 2009. There will be links to the course syllabus, to lab guidelines, and to the Powerpoint presentations given during lecture. Please see below. To make the webpage a bit more user friendly, I have separated out some key information from the syllabus.
Course description:
Biology 110 provides an introduction to the study of biological diversity in an evolutionary and ecological context. This course will examine the characteristics and adaptations of prokaryotes, protists, fungi, plants, and animals, and how they have evolved. Related topics include population genetics, evolutionary processes and their results (including adaptation, speciation, and extinction), and ecological factors that influence the distribution and abundance of organisms, as well as the interactions among species in nature. Models of biodiversity and the factors that affect and threaten it will also be addressed.
