Topics course. This seminar explores the diversity of reproduction in mammals from genetics to environmental adaptations, but all from the perspective of female mammals.  How does the female perspective change the way we think about reproduction?  For instance, conception vs fertilization; embryo rejection vs miscarriage.  We cover basic concepts as well as the biases and assumptions present in the study of mammalian reproduction. Prerequisite BIO 154 or permission of the instructor.
Topic: Evolution of Mammalian Reproduction: A Female Perspective. Instructor permission. Not open to first-years, sophomores
Permission is required for interchange registration during all registration periods.
