Invertebrates: Evolution, Behaviour and Diversity - BIOL316
This unit explores the fascinating world of invertebrate animals. The unit starts by briefly outlining the features of the major groups of invertebrate animals (excluding unicellular organisms). Once this is established, we move away from a taxonomic focus to discuss major topics including: mating systems, communication, host-parasite relationship, predator-prey interactions, and others. These major topics draw on examples from research papers on various groups of invertebrates. This unit is suitable for any student who is interested in whole animal biology, biological education or students who want to continue research.
