BIOL 330L Vertebrate Zoology/Lab
This course supports the BIOL 330 course through laboratory examination of phylogenetically diverse vertebrates. Similarities and differences in morphology are demonstrated through the dissection of Necturus, dogfish shark, and cat. Additional resources include skeletal and ontogenetic (embryological) material, and the use of media materials. Interpretation of laboratory activities stresses aspects of common ancestry as well as adaptations and divergence from ancestral forms.
