Administrative history
The Department of Zoology was formed in 1921 along with the Department of Botany, out of the former Department of Biology in the Faculty of Arts and Science.
The Department was known as a centre of work in northern ecology and physiology, and contributed to the study of teleost fish, reproductive physiology and behaviour, and the ecology of parasites. Research facilities included a departmental museum, biological stations throughout Alberta, biological stations and the Bamfield Marine Station on Vancouver Island in association with the Western Canadian Universities Marine Biological Society. The Department offered a program in palaeontology jointly with the Department of Geology.
In 1994, the Departments of Botany, Entomology, Genetics, Microbiology and Zoology merged to form the Department of Biological Sciences.
