Most animal species are invertebrates and many are found only in marine environments. This course deals with the biology of invertebrate animals using a taxonomic approach. Each phylum will be studied in detail with respect to its morphology, physiology and evolutionary relationship to other phyla. Anatomy of representative taxa will be studied by dissection. Emphasis will be placed on understanding how the evolutionary changes seen across invertebrate groups relate to specialization and success in a wide variety of environments.
