| Summary | This course will explore the evolution and diversification of animal interactions with plants, ranging from symbiosis to herbivory. Interactions between plants and animals provide many of the best examples of coevolution and we will discuss these at levels ranging from specific adaptations of animal and plant group to macroevolutionary patterns. The aim throughout will be to integrate understanding of the whole organism biology of plants and animals with important evolutionary and ecological questions. The approach will span all animal groups, from corals to koalas, termites to dinosaurs. |
