- At the end of this course, students should be able to: (1) understand and explain the basic picture about chordate body organization in lower taxons; (2) work with information on chordate systematic principles; (3) interpret chordates classification schemes; (4) gain an appreciation of the diversity of the world’s chordates; use (5) the bionomie of modell taxons and species and (6) interpret the occurence of chordates in ecosystems of world.
