Note: These study questions are not necessarily comprehensive, nor are they meant to be. They are meant to supplement your lecture notes as you review them, and alert you to the ways in which you should be thinking about the material, and formulate questions to test yourself. Exams will NOT be limited to the material highlighted in these questions, or their formats, so your lecture notes should be your primary reference.

Lecture 1 (31 August 2010)

1. What are the reasons for studying a particular group of organisms such as vertebrates?

2. List the basic functions of living organism. Provide a vertebrate example for each.

3. What is a mechanical constraint? Explain it in terms of one of the three examples (e.g., lizards, Darwin's finches, Hydromantes salamanders) discussed in lecture.
