Studies on the evolution of ancestral fungi, relevant Chromista and slime molds within the broader context of evolution of derived fungi and ancient groups basal to fungi and animals. The course also encompasses cogent life histories, development, structure, taxonomy, and fundamental biochemistry. General methods for environmental collection, isolation and study of these organisms will be presented in lectures [3 credits]
