Integrative Principles, fall 2002
IP presents an integrative approach to fundamental principles of
ecology, evolution, and comparative biology (including physiology,
behavior, and genetics) for first-year graduate students in zoology.
The course is not organized by these disciplines, but rather as
modules that bring together elements from several 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.
