A new experimental course on macroevolution (BIOL 465X) is being offered for Spring 2018.  Completion of BIOL 315 (biological evolution) is recommended prior to taking this course, which will explore patterns of biodiversity in the fossil record, how traits change over time, the effect of ecological and biogeographic patterns on diversity, and more.  Professors Dean Adams and Tracy Heath will be teaching the course, and it will count as an advanced biology course for Biology majors.
