Teaching at UABC

I am a professor at the Autonomous University of Baja California, where I teach the course "Arthropods" to fourth-semester Biology students. In this course, we explore the diversity, morphology, and evolutionary relationships of arthropods, covering the following topics:

• Introduction to Phylum Arthropoda: General characteristics and diversity.

• Basic Arthropod Morphology: Structures and adaptations.

• Panarthropoda: Related groups and their evolution.

• Crustacean Morphology: Key structures and their functions.

• Arachnid Morphology: Adaptations and diversity.

• Myriapod Morphology: Detailed study of centipedes and millipedes.

• Phylogenetic Relationships: Evolution and kinship among groups.

This course provides students with a solid foundation for understanding the biology and ecology of one of the most diverse and important groups in the animal kingdom.
