Course description

An introduction to fundamental principles of ecology, evolution, and comparative biology (including physiology, behavior, and genetics), for first-year graduate students in zoology and botany.  The course is not organized by these disciplines, but rather as modules that bring together elements from many disciplines.  The goal is to promote integrative approaches to biology, emphasizing commonalities and differences among processes and systems by concentrating on biological principles, concepts, approaches, and ways of thinking that can span a variety of taxa, regions, or specific phenomena
