Letures focus on the unique features of different invertebrate phyla and the interesting ways animals interact with each other and their environments. We cover topics in animal classification, life history and various types of human-invertebrate interactions. Laboratory work examines invertebrate diversity on campus, responses to features of their environment, as well as animal structure and function. Three lectures and one three hour laboraboty weekly.
