Lab Sections   Vertebrate Biology labs offer you the opportunity to examine first hand some of the diversity we talk about in class. For lab we use the second edition of "Labs for Vertebrate Zoology: an Evolutionary Approach", by Gergus and Schuett. This manual includes comprehensive coverage of diversity and adaptations of all vertebrate lineages. Lab sections introduce you to species diversity as well as form and function in various vertebrate groups. The following activities are intermingled during the course of the semester: diversity displays - we examine representatives of various vertebrate groups comparative demonstrations - focus on the evolution of structures as we work our way through the vertebrate tree comparative dissections - examine the evolution and diversity of internal and external morphology across all vertebrates
