BIODIDAC is a rich collection of over 6,000 diagrams (most in black and white and some in colour) and photographs related to organismal biology and histology (specimens, dissections, and microscopic images). Some images are grouped by sets and include annotations. / BIODIDAC est une vaste collection de plus de 6 000 diagrammes (la plupart en noir et blanc et certains en couleur) et photographies liés à la biologie des organismes et à l'histologie (spécimens, dissections et images microscopiques).

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.

By the end of this section, you will be able to:Identify and describe the properties of lifeDescribe the levels of organization among living thingsRecognize and interpret a phylogenetic treeList examples of different sub disciplines in biology

This reference tool allows students to identify an arthropod's order by making a series of guided decisions, such as six legs or more, well-developed or missing wing, and chewing or sucking mouthparts. The key, which includes only adult arthropods, is available as an interactive key on the AMNH's Web site that can be downloaded to your computer.

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.

Global exploration in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries radically changed Western science, orienting philosophies of natural history to more focused fields like comparative anatomy, botany, and geology. In the United States, European scientific advances and home-grown ventures like the Wilkes Exploring Expedition to Antarctica and the Pacific inspired new endeavors in cartography, ethnography, zoology, and evolutionary theory, replacing rigid models of thought and classification with more fluid and active systems. They inspired literary authors as well. This class will examine some of the most remarkable of these authors—Herman Melville (Moby-Dick and “The Encantadas”), Henry David Thoreau (Walden), Sarah Orne Jewett (Country of the Pointed Firs), Edith Wharton (House of Mirth), Toni Morrison (A Mercy), among others—in terms of the subjects and methods they adopted, imaginatively and often critically, from the natural sciences.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Roaming the forest floor, these army ants are doing what army ants do best: hunting insects to bring back to the colony. But they're not alone. The practice of gathering and consolidating enormous amounts of food has piqued the interest of other insects looking for an easy meal. It's a scene that plays out in most army ant communities; rarely are these colonies composed exclusively of ants, but often include numerous 'guest' species. A team of researchers from the US and Germany recently conducted a survey of these _guests_ in the tropical rainforest of Costa Rica. Using their morphological expertise and DNA sequence data, they were able to identify several new species of insects that had integrated themselves into the ant colonies. Among them, a hitch-hiking beetle disguised as an ant’s rear-end. Unlike most ants, army ants are nomadic. During their most active periods, the colony will move to a new nest site every day. This presents two difficult tasks for guest insects..."
