Zoology

By Oksana Savenko and Vinh Luu

Introduction to Zoology: Provide an overview of zoology, the scientific study of animals, covering the broad diversity of animal life, key principles of animal biology, and the significance of zoology in understanding ecosystems and human health.

Classification and Taxonomy: Explore the classification system (taxonomy) used to categorize animals, including major animal phyla, classification criteria, and the importance of taxonomic identification in evolutionary biology.

Animal Physiology: Discuss the fundamentals of animal physiology, including how different systems (circulatory, digestive, respiratory, and nervous systems) function to maintain homeostasis and support life processes in various animal species.

Reproduction and Development: Examine animal reproductive systems, including sexual and asexual reproduction, fertilization, embryonic development, and lifecycle variations across species, from invertebrates to vertebrates.

Animal Behavior: Introduce the study of animal behavior (ethology), focusing on innate and learned behaviors, communication methods, social structures, mating strategies, and survival tactics observed in different species.

Evolution and Adaptation: Discuss the principles of evolution and natural selection, explaining how species adapt to their environments, and the role of genetic variation in evolutionary processes, using examples from the animal kingdom.
