Environmental Physiology

0.5 credits · Undergraduate

This course examines how the environment impacts the physiology and biochemistry of animals. We focus on environments with extreme temperature, water availability, salinity and oxygen tensions (e.g., deep sea, polar regions, deserts) to understand the diversity of mechanisms animals use to survive. Prerequisite: A minimum overall average of 65% in completed BIOL/BIOC/BIOM courses and 12.0 university credits including two of BIOL 3111H (2110H), 3830H, or 3840H.
