Animal Diversity III
Course objectives:
This course will enable the students to –
- Differentiate the animals from Annelida to Echinodermata based on their characteristics and the common physical features of other animals belonging to the same phylum.
- Demonstrate social behavior and colony formation in termites and honey bees.
- Implement the knowledge about sericulture, lac culture, apiculture and pearl culture and their economic importance.
- Appraise the origin and evolutionary relationship of different larval forms from Annelida to Echinodermata.
