This course delves into the adaptation and evolutionary processes of organisms living in polar environments. It explores the unique characteristics and physiological adaptations that enable species to survive and thrive in extreme cold, low-light, and variable conditions. Topics may include genetic adaptations, physiological responses, life history strategies, reproductive biology, and behavioral adaptations of polar organisms. Students may also learn about the mechanisms underlying evolutionary processes, including natural selection, genetic drift, and speciation in polar environments.
