This course explores the evolutionary, structural, cellular, and ecological aspects of botany. Traditionally, studies of botany included plants, cyanobacteria, fungi, and algae. Modern botany includes studies of vascular plants, as well as the sub-disciplines studying algae (phycology) and fungi (mycology). This course provides a survey of the major groups of plants, algae, and fungi, as well as their evolutionary history, reproduction, and development. Students are exposed to current topics in botany through lectures, labs, field trips, and readings.Prerequisite: BIO 1160 General Biology
