Every animal is the product of two processes: development from an egg and evolution from its ancestors. The new field of evolutionary development biology, or "evo-devo", examines the relationship between these two processes. This course examines the developmental mechanism underlying the evolution of animal design, particularly with regard to the patterning of animal body plans and body parts. Takes an integrative approach, synthesizing data from paleontology, embryology, and genetics. Designed for students with prior coursework in evolution who are interested in understanding the mechanisms behind evolution. No previous background in development is required. Offered in alternate years.
