Description Announcement: A 2nd edition of this lab manual is now available.
The title has been changed to Laboratory Exercises in Invertebrate Zoology.
It is a much expanded and improved version including 86 additional pages of material, 71 new figures and 46 links to supplemental video material about the biology or ecology of invertebrate animals.
The 1st edition will continue to be available to those who prefer to keep using it.
This laboratory manual supports a one-semester course in invertebrate zoology.
Exercises in this manual focus on an approach where you observe specimens, draw them, write down your own observations about them, and then pose questions based on what you observed.
This pattern of observing and asking is the same approach zoologists often take when they develop new lines research about what animals do and how their bodies work.
The manual includes introductions to microscopy and phylogenetic analysis, and hands-on exercises focusing on representatives from the following animal taxa: Symplasma - syncytial sponges; Cellularia - cellular sponges; Cnidaria - Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa, Cubozoa, and Anthozoa; Platyhelminthes - Turbellaria, Neodermata (Monogenea, Digenea, and Cestoda); Mollusca - Polyplacophora, Gastropoda, Cephalopoda, and Bivalvia; Annelida - Sipuncula, Errantia, Sedentaria; Brachiopoda (articulate and inarticulate); Nematoda; Panarthropoda - Lobopodia, Tardigrada, Arthropoda (Trilobilomorpha, Chelicerata, Arachnida, Crustacea, Myriapoda, Hexapoda); Echinodermata - Asteroidea, Echinoidea, Holothuroidea, echinoderm development; Hemichordata - Enteropneusta; and Chordata - Tunicata, Cephalochordata.
I produced these exercises because the prices of textbooks and laboratory manuals have become extremely expensive over the past 20+ years.
Students today sometimes have to spend over $90 for a new copy of a laboratory manual in invertebrate zoology.
I'm sorry, but in my opinion that's just too much.
I field-tested these exercises in my invert.

Platforma de publicare independentă CreateSpace a fost un serviciu de autopublicare pentru autori independenți, cunoscut în primul rând pentru că îi ajută pe autori să publice și să distribuie cărți tipărite la cerere.
CreateSpace și-a schimbat serviciile la Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP).
CreateSpace și KDP fac ambele parte din platformele de autopublicare ale Amazon, iar autorii pot folosi KDP pentru a publica și distribui atât cărți electronice, cât și cărți tipărite.
Prin KDP, autorii își pot crea, publica și distribui cărțile la nivel global, ajungând la cititori prin rețeaua vastă a Amazon.
Dacă sunteți autor sau aspiră să publice o carte, poate doriți să explorați Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) pentru nevoile dvs.
de autopublicare.
