Course notes and guides

Well right now the only information available now is the  Chordate phylogeny guide which provides the taxonomy of Chordata.  This helps you in my discussions of phylogeny in the beginning of the course, and you may want to refer to it later on when I compare various taxonomical groups during discussion of the various systems.
 

Also, since some of the organisms in the Biol 261 skeleton collection may be a little unfamiliar to you, here are some images of some of the more unusual organisms we have represented in the collection.
