Animal Form and Function

Alyssa teaches a dissection class every winter semester. Each class session focuses on a different group of animals, usually with another unifying theme such as movement, metamerism, or adaptive radiation. In most of those classes, Alyssa supplements the official course material with a selection of videos, images, and accompanying stories about unusual or interesting representatives from the groups the students dissected that day. These are those supplemental materials.
