-
Pages: 4More on trophic webs and energy transfer, continuing into a discussion on nutrient transfer.
-
Pages: 4This lecture continues the discussion on community ecology, touching on symbioses, trophic webs, and energy transfer.
-
Pages: 4Finishing up population growth and continuing on to discuss community ecology, starting with niches.

Pages: 5A wrap up of human evolution and the start of population ecology and dynamics.
-
Pages: 3The beginning of talking about human evolution, including missing links, primates onto the hominins.
-
Pages: 13The information on this exam starts at evolution, and continues on through speciation and phylogenetics.
-
Pages: 5A lecture on how to interpret the phylogenetic tree, the difference between homologous and analogous traits, and the molecular clock.

Pages: 4Finishing the discussion on artificial selection and talking about genetic diversity, including sources of diversity and how to measure genetic variation.
-
Pages: 5The beginning of evolution, discussing natural and artificial selection
-
Pages: 19An overview of information from the beginning of our discussion on animals and their physiology through the action potential, synapses and neurotransmitters.
-
Pages: 4A review of confusing concepts like Angiosperm Reproduction and Nernst potential that will be covered on the second exam.
-
Pages: 4A discussion of the action potential in a cell, and an introduction to the synaptic cleft.

-
Pages: 5A lecture on neuron morphology, and an introduction to resting membrane potential.
-
Pages: 4A continuation of the discussion on gas exchange and the topic of circulation, and the beginning of the nervous system.
-
Pages: 5This lecture concludes our discussion on muscles and skeletons and moves on to discuss respiration and circulation, specifically partial pressure and gas exchange.
-
Pages: 5The beginning of comparative physiology, starting with the basics of animal muscles and skeletons.
