Biology is designed for multi-semester biology courses for science majors. It is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand. To meet the needs of today’s instructors and students, some content has been strategically condensed while maintaining the overall scope and coverage of traditional texts for this course. Instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand—and apply—key concepts.

In this video module, students learn how scientists use genetic information from dogs to find out which gene (out of all 20,000 dog genes) is associated with any specific trait or disease of interest. This method involves comparing hundreds of dogs with the trait to hundreds of dogs not displaying the trait, and examining which position on the dog DNA is correlated with the trait (i.e. has one DNA sequence in dogs with the trait but another DNA sequence in dogs not displaying the trait). Students will also learn something about the history of dog breeds and how this history helps us find genes.

This instructional material is intended for learners identified under the category of Blended Learning covering face-to-face and flexible learning activities.The Fish 211: Ichthyology instructional material is designed to achieve the learning outcomes of the subject course.This material covers the course guide and study guides of the fifteen (15) modules. Thus, the learning content of this material was prepared for the subject course. This is created to provide the needs of learners taking up the subject course, Ichthyology.This instructional material is intended for the use of Bachelor of Science in Fisheries students undertaking the Fish 211 subject course. This will enable the learners to achieve the intended outcomes of the subject course. Moreover, as students go along with this material, this will provide them with guidance and learning activities throughout the duration of their study.This material contains the necessary instructions, course guide, and study guides towards the completion of this subject course. The Course Guide will introduce the learners to what are the preaparations and precautions in the subject course. Study Guides which are assigned to each modules consist of topic outlines, learning activities, learning tasks, and study questions.

Leaders in the field of biological diversity present an overview of emergent issues in biodiversity, from the surrounding flora and fauna to the genes deep within us. (117 minutes)

This activity encourages students to collect data to answer questions, explore the roles of individual macroinvertebrates in aquatic ecosystems, and think about the health of aquatic ecosystems relative to the macroinvertebrates found.

In this biodiversity activity, students learn how to construct their own dichotomous keys. They use either specimens they've collected or ones you bring into class, such as shells, fruit, or leaves. The one-page printable PDF includes guidelines about what students should look for and include when creating their dichotomous keys.

This Informational text focuses on the migration habits of the grasshopper/locust and the gray whale.

MCQ's  Zoology for B.Sc. III Semester VI  As per Syllabus of  Sant Gadage Baba Amravati University Amravati.   

Barratt says you don't have to be a genius to be an astronaut, but you do need a sense of determination.

Join Philip Hastings, curator of the Marine Vertebrate Collection at Scripps and learn how research on fishes of the Gulf of California and Southern California is essential for guiding conservation efforts aimed at protecting marine fisheries and ecosystems. (56 minutes)

Renowned penguin expert Gerry Kooyman moderates a live discussion with researchers at a colony of Adelie Penguins in Antarctica. (55 minutes)

The deep ocean remains largely unexplored, and deep-sea animals, their distribution and their relationships to each other are the subject of an ever-increasing variety of research projects. Join Scripps biological oceanographer Greg Rouse as he unveils the latest findings on some of the oceanŐs most intriguing and least-studied creatures and learn about the sophisticated tools used to understand the Evolution of life in the ocean. (57 minutes)

Little is known of the initial phase of the sea turtle's lifecycle,especially the critically endangered leatherback. Ocean surface currents play an important role as "conveyer belts" for hatchlings, but these strong swimmers might still be able to influence their trajectories at sea. Join Scripps marine biology student Geoffrey Gearheart as he explains how scientists are determining the dispersal patterns and mechanisms of leatherback hatchlings of west Papua (Indonesia) and how this knowledge may help tailor more adequate conservation measures. (56 minutes)

Sharks have inhabited the oceans for more than 400 million years. Join shark expert Jeffrey Graham as he describes the adaptations that have allowed these magnificent creatures to thrive over the millennia. Learn how shark biologists study shark physiology, life history, and behavior for insight into what allows these animals to rank among the worldŐs most efficient predators. (57 minutes)

The PrimateLit database provides bibliographic access to the scientific literature on nonhuman primates for the research and educational communities.

Students will examine clues about animals such as nests, leaves, feathers, fur, tracks that allow some conclusions about the identity, physical characteristics or behavior of the animals. Students will study the characteristics of animal tracks.

Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio https://www.idigbio.org) is the National Resource for Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections (ADBC) funded by the National Science Foundation. Through ADBC, data and images for millions of biological specimens are being made available in electronic format for the research community, government agencies, students, educators, and the general public.

The iDigBio specimen portal (https://www.idigbio.org/portal) provides access to millions of records about neontological and paleontological specimens curated at museums and other institutions in the US. Records might include information about the specimen, when, where and by whom it was collected, the institution providing the data, images and other media related to the specimen.
