Ask critical questions and participate in class discussionsDevelop an in-depth knowledge of invertebrates through review of the primary literatureResearch and recall the primary literature related to invertebrate evolution, the fossil record, taxonomy, and body plansCompare and describe Linnaean system of classification and evolutionary phylogeneticsDescribe the body plans of the 34 metazoan phyla focusing on invertebratesDevelop basic understanding of molecular phylogeneticsDevelop new knowledge of the physiology, ecology, behaviour of invertebrates in much more detail than was learned in BIOL 2003Identify life cycles and behavior of invertebrate animals and the adaptations of invertebrates to particular environmentsIdentify roles of invertebrates in ecosystems and relationships that human have with invertebratesIdentify structures in invertebrates including locomotive, skeletal, feeding/digestive, excretory, respiratory, sensory, and reproductiveIdentify the evolutionary history of the metazoan phyla through understanding of phylogenetic treesIdentify the invertebrate phyla using taxonomic keys and, for the major phyla, be able to identify classesIdentify the major environmental and biological changes that lead to the evolution of metazoans focusing on the Ediacaran and the Cambrian periodsKnow terminology and concepts related to metazoan body plans, classification, and evolution
