Catalog Description |
Study of how form
(morphology, anatomy) and function (physiology, metabolism, biophysics)
affects plant ecology. Laboratory
emphasizes experimentation and introduction to techniques. Lecture includes reading and written
critiques of scientific literature. |

Curriculum Fit |
The course fulfills a need
for a physiology course that has an organismal, ecological, and evolutionary perspective,
as no such course is currently taught in either EEES or Biology. Further, physiological ecology is a major
sub-discipline of the field of ecology.
Thus, this new course is necessary if we are to provide complete
course offerings in Environmental and Life Sciences to UT students, and is
critical for ensuring comprehensive training of UT students in Ecology and
Environmental Science (both EEES undergraduate and graduate students). |
