PBIO 3080 - Structural Botany
Diversity of vascular plants as reflected by structural and reproductive features of major groups; emphasis on evolution of diversity through systematically significant adaptations as reflected by the paleontological record. 2 lec, 4 lab.
Requisites: PBIO 1150
Credit Hours: 4
Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 2.0 lecture, 4.0 laboratory
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes: - Students will be able to reconstruct the overall phylogeny of vascular plants and explain areas of weakness in our understanding of vascular plant relationships.
- Students will be able to name and identify the distinctive vegetative and reproductive characteristics of the major groups of vascular plants.
- Students will be able to compare and contrast the structures and life cycles of major groups of vascular plants.
- Students will be able to assess the homology of vascular plant structures.
- Students will be able to reconstruct the evolutionary history of and explain the significance of major structural and reproductive innovations in vascular plants (e.g., the seed habit).
- Students will be able to locate, synthesize, and present factual information about the structural characteristics of vascular plants.
