Welcome to BIOL 471 |
|
BIOL 471 is a course in three parts: (1) selection and adaptation (selection, modes of reproduction, species recognition, speciation); (2) microevolution (genetic variation, population genetics, molecular evolution); and (3) phylogenetic reconstruction (classification, historical evolution, origin of life theory and fossil record). Available to juniors or seniors who have taken BIOL 311 or a college course in genetics.
The objective of this course is for students: (1) to appreciate the scope of modern evolutionary biology and genetics; (2) to become familiar with the professional literature in evolutionary biology; (3) to communicate evolution concepts to the public by means of written reports, posters and/or presentations; (4) to hear research reports presented by evolutionary biologists.
