An in-depth examination of cardiovascular, respiratory, osmoregulatory, digestive, and reproductive system physiology in animals and how these systems have evolved in response to challenging environments. Examples are drawn from vertebrate and invertebrate models, with students building on these examples to understand how animals survive in their environments. Prerequisite(s): At least one undergraduate or graduate course in Animal Physiology; permission from instructor. Note: Students with credit for BIOL 418 cannot receive credit for this course.
