Revision as of 13:26, 8 May 2008
EEB 2214 (Biology of the Vertebrates) is being offered in the Summer Session I 2008 (June 2 through July 11). The class meets 5:30-8:30 Tuesdays and Thursdays (tentatively). The course covers the evolution, biology, natural history, behavior and diversity of the vertebrates.For more information, contact the instructor Dr. Chuck Smith at:
