Dr. Paluh's research aims to link phylogenetic patterns of trait diversity with underlying developmental mechanisms to better understand the evolutionary processes that generate morphological ...

Have you ever looked at a human embryo and thought, “That kind of looks like a fish”? If you haven’t, you might be surprised to learn that, in a way, we all begin our lives like this. The idea that ...

The list below offers a representative sample of the courses you can expect in the study of cellular and molecular biology at DePauw. From theoretical foundations to practical experiences, these ...

How the life histories, diets, and other ecological features of species evolve, and how these processes affect the composition and properties of communities and ecosystems; also, how species evolve in ...
