Biodiversity: A Lab Manual for General Biology II

This lab manual is intended to accompany the General Biology II course at Southwest Tennessee Community College. This course focuses on the evolution and diversity of living organisms with attention to comparative anatomy within the vertebrate animals.

The manual contains instructions for hands-on examination of specimens with minimal repetition of content found in the recommended textbook (Biology. Solomon and Berg, current edition). This format is used with the motive of saving costs for the student and encouraging the use of the text and the instructor’s assistance for explaining unfamiliar vocabulary.
