Description : General Zoology Laboratory Guide is ideal for the laboratory that emphasizes the dissection and microscopic study of live and preserved specimens. Recognized for its accuracy and readability, this manual is comprehensive in its representation of the major groups of animal phyla. This new edition is suitable for a wide range of course needs and structures.
New Features :
Major revisions made in the chapters on Protozoa and Arthropoda, reflecting current recent research findings, changes in classification and interpretations of animal relationships.
All chapters updated to reflect results of recent studies on cellular function, molecular biology, ecology, physiology, and systematics.
A new chapter on Classification and Systematics based on recent research using new biochemical and genetic techniques to leading to new interpretations of the evolutionary relationships of animal phyla and classes. The chapter also gives an overview of animal morphology to provide a holistic perspective for the evolution of structure and function in the animal kingdom.
New illustrations added in nearly every chapter including more than two dozen photographs and drawings. Other changes include several new color photographs of animals in natural habitats, diagrams illustrating the life cycles of several invertebrates, and improved critical thinking questions to stimulate student interest and analysis.
Retained Features :
All questions within in the text appear in a different font, to serve as a pedagogical aid to enhance the learning process.
End-of-chapter section entitled "Suggested Readings," provides a brief listing of related articles for further reading or research.
End-of-chapter section titled "Internet Resources," provides a selection of related websites which are hot links on the custom web site.
End-of-chapter feature titled "Critical Thinking Questions," provides a list of challenging questions that encourage application and reflection of the chapter material.
A Biohazard logo appears next to all lab exercises that deal with potentially hazardous materials.
