INVERTEBRATE DIVERSITY
| Invertebrate Diversity | | Course Number | BIO 260-01-LEC | | Course Title | Invertebrate Diversity | | Department | Biology | | Campus | Smith College | | Course Description | Invertebrate animals account for the vast majority of species on earth. Although sometimes inconspicuous, invertebrates are vital members of ecological communities. They provide protein, important ecosystem services, biomedical and biotechnological products, and aesthetic value to humans. Today, many invertebrate populations are threatened by human activities. To protect and manage invertebrate diversity, we must understand its nature and scope. This course is designed to survey the extraordinary diversity of invertebrates, emphasizing their form and function in ecological and evolutionary contexts. One required weekend field trip to the New England coast. |
