EBIO-4550 (4) Plant Eco-Evo-Devo

Explores the fundamental principles of plant form from the perspectives of ecological function, evolutionary origin, and developmental dynamics. Students are presented with conceptual and analytical tools to interpret the vast diversity of growth form-function relationships that exist among plants. Laboratory sessions apply concepts presented in lecture and students will engage in original research using light and scanning electron microscopy. Recommended prereqs., EBIO 1210 and EBIO 1220 and EBIO 1230 and EBIO 1240 (min. grade C-).
