ZOO503 ||| Zoogeography and Paleontology

ZOO503 – Zoogeography and Paleontology explores the distribution of animals across geographical regions and the fossil record of life on Earth. This course emphasizes patterns of animal diversity, historical biogeography, and evolutionary history.

Course Introduction

Zoogeography and Paleontology focuses on understanding how animal species are distributed across the globe and the study of fossils to interpret evolutionary history. Students learn to analyze biogeographical patterns and paleontological evidence.

Course Learning Objectives

• Understand the principles of zoogeography and animal distribution
• Analyze historical and ecological factors affecting species distribution
• Study fossil records to interpret evolutionary history
• Examine biogeographical regions and their characteristic fauna
• Apply knowledge of paleontology in biodiversity and conservation studies
