BSB 346 - Evolutionary Biology Credits: 4
Prerequisite: BSB 101-102 (w/labs), BSB 230. Recommended: BSB 310 (General Ecology).
An overview of how evolutionary biology underpins, informs, and impacts all areas of biological thought and research. Course content will integrate evolutionary concepts with four main areas of biological science - genetics, molecular biology, organismal biology, and environmental biology.
