Chordate Morphology

A study of the diversity and uniformity of structure found among living vertebrates. The evolution of chordates is illustrated by such a comparative investigation as well, as an examination of anatomical features of fossil records. The lab includes detailed anatomical studies of several representative chordates. Students taking this course for the first time are required to take the lecture and the corresponding lab course concurrently. If the lab or lecture component of the course has been successfully completed previously with a passing and transferable grade or better, then the corresponding lab or lecture course that was not successfully completed previously may be retaken separately.
