BIO 546 - Biology Of Marine Larvae

Credits 4
An analysis of factors important for animals with complex life cycles, focusing on marine benthic invertebrates. Larval stages will be examined from a wide range of perspectives: ecological, evolutionary, oceanography, behavioral, physiological and developmental. Students will hone verbal skills through presentations on species and topics of interest, and by leading class discussion. The laboratory will examine larval types and aquacultural techniques.
