Zoology (Advanced)

BIOL2921

The content will be based on the standard unit BIOL2021 but qualified students will participate in alternative components at a more advanced level. This unit of study provides an overview of the functional and phylogenetic diversity of invertebrate and vertebrate animals. The material is presented within the conceptual framework of evolution. Lectures explore the diversity of major functional systems and behaviour in the context of environmental challenges and the ecological roles of different animal groups. Laboratory classes include dissections and demonstrations of the functional anatomy of invertebrates and vertebrates, as well as experiments. Students will have the opportunity to develop oral and written communication skills.
