Biology 114: Form, Function, Diversity and Ecology

Biology 114 is intended for students majoring in the natural sciences and is the continuation of Biology 113. In this course we deal mainly with the organismal and supra-organismal levels of biological organization. Evolution will be the unifying theme. The diversity, form, function, and ecology of organisms will be covered, with particular emphasis on plants and animals.

I have two major research focuses: (1) the function and evolution of sensory systems and the sensory behavior of amphibians and reptiles, and (2) the conservation biology of amphibians and reptiles. (1) One current project involves behavioral and functional studies of alternative hearing systems in amphibians and reptiles. Many amphibians and reptiles lack a standard tympanic middle ear and appear to rely on very different mechanisms for detecting sound. Information about these alternative systems is… more.
