| Comparative
survey of eight major invertebrate phyla (Porifera, Cnidaria,
Platyhelminthes, Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda, Echinodermata,
Urochordata) and many lesser-known phyla. Three areas of emphasis
will be (1) invertebrate identification, (2) natural history (diversity,
habitat, feeding, behavior), and (3) comparative anatomy (adaptive
significance of morphological structures). Laboratories and field
trips will strongly supplement lecture material. Activities will
include field trips to coastal habitats, the Oregon Coast Aquarium,
and the HMSC Visitors’ Center; examination of live invertebrates
in the laboratory. Because of the timing of low tides, early morning
field trips will be scheduled on many days. Instructor will be
available in the lab most evenings as needed. This course will
be an INTENSIVE, CHALLENGING FIELD COURSE designed for seniors
and graduate students. Students should have at least one year
of undergraduate-level biology. |
