"Laboratory Manual for Organismal Biology" 3rd edition
W. Marshall Darley, University of Georgia
Catherine Teare Ketter, University of Georgia
ISBN: 0-89892-281-X
A lab manual written for the University of
Georgia Organismal Biology laboratory. The manual covers the
diversity of bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, invertebrates,
observational and experimental study of aquatic ecosystems, and
vertebrate phisiology. The lab activities are organized around
"Challenges" which are designed to help the student make
observations about organisms and test ideas about how they function
and interact with each other and their environment.
