  • BOT 1101: First-Year Seminar:

    3.00 Credits
    University of Wyoming

    Fishes are an important part of earth's biodiversity. As humans, we are derived from fish ancestors. In this course we will study biodiversity, using fishes as a group to center our focus. We will learn about relatedness across the tree of life, and human impacts on biodiversity.
