Examines the molecular mechanisms of evolutionary change that drive morphological diversity in the animal kingdom. This course integrates genetics, molecular biology, development, and evolution. We will study adaptation, mechanisms of selection, speciation, plasticity, the origin of novelties, developmental constraints, and the evolution of gene regulatory networks in the context of development and patterning.
