DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe cost of textbooks and laboratory support materials has skyrocketed over the past few decades. A new copy of a laboratory manual in invertebrate zoology published by a textbook company can now cost over $100/copy. In my opinion this is just too expensive, especially when such a lab manual may be woefully out of date. That's why I developed a set of exercises several years ago to support my course in invertebrate zoology. When I learned about the CreateSpace self-publishing service I decided to make these exercises more broadly available (1st edition, 2013). In the meantime I solicited feedback from users and worked to review and update materials in these exercises in light of recent developments in the field.The 3rd Edition of Invertebrates by Brusca, et al. was released in winter 2016 and I decided to update all taxonomies and related material in the second edition of this set of laboratory exercises to conform with information in that textbook.This new edition includes a significant changes and improvements in many areas including the following:1) 82 pages of new material 2) 71 new figures (169 figures total)3) 46 links to supplemental video material on the anatomy or behavior of invertebrates4) A glossary of terms at the end of each chapter5) Updated and expanded taxonomic information for all groups following Invertebrates, 3rd Ed, by Brusca, et al., (2016) 6) Tables listing defining characteristics for major taxa are included in each chapter7) Inclusion of word roots/word meanings for many taxonomic names8) A taxonomic index replaces the cumbersome index of the 1st edition 9) Addition of a procedure for calibrating and using an ocular micrometer to the chapter on microscopy10) Replacement of the old overly complicated exercise on cladistics with a new streamlined exercise11) Addition of an entirely new chapter on Domain Eukarya including life cycles of pathogens. This chapter includes an introduction to Group Amoebozoa, Group Chromalveolata, Group Rhizaria, Group Excavata and Group Opisthokonta12) Addition or expansion of exercises on corals and siphonophores to the chapter on Cnidarians13) Addition of Phylum Ctenophora to the lab manual14) Addition of a larger number of nematode representatives, including Tubatrix and the pathogens Trichinella, Wuchereria, Enterobius, Dracunculus and Dirofilaria including their life cycles to the chapter on Phylum Nematoda 15) Addition of tardigrades, onychophorans and pycnogonids to the chapter on Panarthropoda17) New and expanded material on arachnids and myriapods in the chapter on Panarthropoda16) Addition of ophiuroids to the chapter on echinoderms.And, the price is still set with students in mind at only $20/copy for a hard copy version and even less for a Kindle version.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKField and Laboratory Exercises in Animal Behavior is an interactive laboratory manual for students in animal behavior, ethology, and behavioral ecology. It is the first of its kind in this subject area that guides students through the diverse and fascinating fields of behavioral and ethological studies, employing a wide array of organisms as model systems for the study of behavior. Students participate in the development of hypothesis and turn the recording, analysis, and interpretation of data into an active and engaging process. A teacher-friendly companion website provides extensive teaching notes on the background to each lab project, tips and hints for successful project presentation, sources for studying organisms, ideas for variations in labs, and alternate study organisms. This text is recommended for undergraduate courses in Animal Behavior, Ethology, and Behavioral Ecology. Provides fully developed and tested laboraty exercises Offers both field and lab experiences- adaptable for fall, spring, or summer courses Laboratories emphasize student thought and involvement in experimental design Includes an online supplement to the manual for teachers
