Plant and Animal Geography Global patterns of plant and animal distribution are related to the evolutionary history and present biological needs of each species, to the history of continental movement and climatic fluctuations, to the species' interaction with the physical environment, and to the history of human-induced modifications. Using a combination of field projects and classroom discussion, this course will examine the dynamics of these patterns and processes at both local and global scales. Dist: SLA. Conkey. 33.
