This document outlines the topics that will be covered in 14 lectures on animal evolution and diversity. The lectures will introduce phylogenies and animal diversity, discuss molecular tools and evolution within populations, examine animal adaptations and life histories, and explore development and evolution, phenotypic plasticity, diversification and extinction, and using the comparative method to study evolution. The final lecture will consider the future of diversity.
