Description
Among animals, sex cannot be simplified down to X's and Y's, or even males and females. Sex is diverse and dynamic. The class will discuss modern research around three themes: 1) sexual differentiation, 2) animal weapons and ornaments, and 3) reproduction and mating systems.

Prerequisites: BIOL 251 and BIOL 282.

Outcomes: Students will gain a deeper appreciation of the sexual diversity among animals at genetic, physiological, morphological and behavioral levels.
