The goal of this course is to introduce students to the biology of the class Mammalia. The course will include a survey of the origins, evolution, variation, and adaptations of mammals to diverse environments. Topics include taxonomy, reproduction, sensory perception, herbivory, population cycles and behavior. Students will use case studies to apply the concepts of mammalogy to broader problems of species management, biological variety, and the effects of development and habitat fragmentation on mammals.
