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.
