Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior
Course Description
In this course, Stephen C. Stearns gives 36 video lectures on Evolution, Ecology and Behavior. This course presents the principles of evolution, ecology, and behavior for students beginning their study of biology and of the environment. It discusses major ideas and results in a manner accessible to all Yale College undergraduates. Recent advances have energized these fields with results that have implications well beyond their boundaries: ideas, mechanisms, and processes that should form part of the toolkit of all biologists and educated citizens.
Course Structure:
This Yale College course, taught on campus three times per week for 50 minutes, was recorded for Open Yale Courses in Spring 2009.

The numbers quoted above seem to have a copy mutation from
what the professor said to what is posted. The number of
possible zygotes is not 315000 to 350000. Those are suppose
to be 3^15000 to 3^50,000 -- [3 to the power of 15000 or
50000.]
Similarly the number 10131 should be 10^131.
