Where BIOL-4601 counts

Counts toward 5 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

  • BANT 4-YEAR BSc IN BIOANTHROPOLOGY
  • BANT HONOURS BSc IN BIOANTHROPOLOGY
  • NSCI 3-YEAR BSc IN NEUROSCIENCE
  • NSCI 4-YEAR BSc IN NEUROSCIENCE
  • NSCI HONOURS BSc IN NEUROSCIENCE

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 71 of 141 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

This course considers physiological adaptations of animals, primarily non-mammalian vertebrates and invertebrates, to their environments. It examines short term adaptations to specific environmental stressors, and physiological strategies associated with long term adaptation to particular ecological niches.

Requisite courses

CHEM-1111 and CHEM-1112, and any one of the following: BIOL-2116, or BIOL-3602 and BIOL-3603, or CHEM-3502 and CHEM-3503 [prerequisite(s)].
