BIOL 137 - Ecology and Evolution of Birds

Prerequisite: BIOL 1B and BIOL 1BL. BIOL 101 is recommended.
The goal of the class is to engage students in the field of ornithology. In lectures we will investigate the role of bird evolution and ecology on avian morphology, phylogeny, physiology, and behavior. Labs and field trips will provide hands-on experience with bird morphology, identification (visual and auditory), behavior, and data analyses. (Formerly BIOL 189T)
