BIO 3370 - Herpetology


Credit(s) 4

This course is intended to familiarize students with basic principles regarding ecological diversity, form, and function in amphibian and reptile taxa. Students will learn these topics using an evolutionary approach which places herpetofaunal diversity within a historical context. Although this course is global in taxonomic scope, special emphasis will be placed on local Appalachian herpetofauna, given the region’s position as a global hotspot of amphibian diversity. The laboratory portion of this course will include examination of both prepared and live herpetofaunal specimens.
