Integrative Principles, Fall 2006
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
and related departments. 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.
