Organismal biology is the study of living systems of all scales that shape the structure, function, ecology, and evolution of individual organisms. Experiments that elucidate how organisms respond to biotic and abiotic environmental stimulus over broad time scales--from changes in behavior to adaptation--are crucial to understanding biological diversity. In this course we'll explore the concepts and analytical tools that frame experimental research in organismal biology. Through group projects and active learning exercises, students will first make hypotheses concerning how organisms respond i
