Presentation Transcript

  1. Introduction to Biology II(BIOL 202 )Organismic and Evolutionary Biology • Dr. Mark Kopeny, Dr. Michael Menaker, Dr. Leo Racich • Integrated survey of the fundamentals of evolutionary theory, biological diversity, and the biology and ecology of organisms. • Biol 201 is not prerequisite. • Designed to meet the needs of a diverse student body, primarily to prepare students for 300- and 400-level biology courses; to prepare students for the Biology major. • The material covered in this course is organized into six units: • I. Evolutionary ProcessesII. Diversity of LifeIII. Plant Form and FunctionIV. Animal Form and FunctionV. Animal BehaviorVI. Ecological Patterns and Processes

  2. Cells Tissues Organ Organism in a community Organelle (chloroplast) Life can be viewed at various “levels of biological organization”, but remember that the processes of life are highly integrated. Atoms organized into a chlorophyll molecule

  3. BIOLOGICAL PATTERNS AND PROCESSES ACROSS “LEVELS” FROM MOLECULES TO ECOSYSTEMS ORGANISM YOU

  4. In general, try to approach material presented in this course with these thoughts in mind: • Search for patterns and underlying processes • Consider ultimate and proximate causation • Consider the relationship between form and function • Relate new concepts to ones already explored, and consider them in a truly integrative framework • Consider the generality of a concept (“importance” of an idea often relates to its breadth) • Evaluate the research (experimental, comparative, modeling, descriptive, historical…) that uncovered the idea • Consider how the idea relates to research programs of UVA science faculty, especially in Biology

  5. We compared your DNA to that of an ape. The ape wants a second opinion.

  6. Begin unit one on Friday; Evolutionary processes We compared your DNA to that of an ape. The ape wants a second opinion.
