Institutional Learning Outcomes: Indigenous Knowledges and Ways This advanced zoology course examines terrestrial vertebrates including their human relationships, evolutionary origins, natural history, and behavioral ecology. Lives of these animals are explored through parallel lenses of Indigenous knowledge and Western science. Students construct hypotheses about the paleontological history of each living group of terrestrial vertebrates. Traits of extinct and living forms are used to analyze how adaptation to different environments has generated the diversity within each living group. Class discussions, laboratory periods and field trips provide opportunities for students to learn the cultural significance, classification, life histories and ecology of species found in British Columbia. Note: Field trips may occur on weekends Prerequisite: BIOL 2170 (min. grade C) and BIOL 2290 (min. grade C)
