Animal Diversity

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This class is a "core unit" for Zoology majors at UWA. With 2 hours of recorded lecture, a 2 hour lab, and an hour of in-person class each week, Animal Diversity is likely my most time-consuming class. The course focuses heavily on the genetic, morphological, and evolutionary context behind our current classification of each individual animal phyla, of which there are 35. FA - Fremantle, Australia (AL & BA) Animal Diversity focuses classification, evolution, and ecological roles of various animal groups. The course focuses on the Hickman tree, a scientific representation of phylogeny, all of the animals and the different characteristics that classify animals. There is also a lab portion where we examine animals.
