BIO 347 - Invertebrate Zoology

4.00 credits.
Invertebrates include species with diverse, fascinating, and sometimes bizarre structure, adaptations, and behavior. In this course, you will become familiar with the basic biology of members of most invertebrate phyla. We will explore how the structural features and behavior of the invertebrates studies relate to the critical roles different invertebrate species play in ecosystems, biomedical research, and public health. Invertebrate zoology is relevant to almost any area of biology, so this class is meant to provide you with information you will be able to use to answer questions that come up in both your professional and everyday life. *Prerequisite(s): BIO 112  or permission of instructor. Hours: lecture 3, laboratory 3. Fall semester, alternate years.
