Course Description: The Biology of Dinosaurs is an interdisciplinary organismal course designed to examine the biology of the extant group Dinosauria. Through the study of dinosaurs, the students will gain a more complete understanding of theories and methodology common to biologists. Dinosaurs provide a unique and compelling context in which to present and reinforce various concepts (e.g., evolution, ecology, systematics, anatomy/physiology, behavior, biomechanics, natural history, extinction) in organismal biology. In addition, principles from mechanical engineering, geology, history, and archeology will be woven into the study of dinosaurs. |
