Module overview

Vertebrates are amongst the most successful animal groups. From fish, amphibians, lizards, crocodiles, birds and mammals, you will gain an understanding how the basal members of the clade have diversified and evolved to fill every imaginable niche on land, sea and air.

You will develop an overview of the anatomy, physiology, behaviour and the ecological interactions across this group of vertebrates.
