Hello all,
I have been asked to teach a class called "Introduction to
Systematics." Clearly, this requires the integration of concepts in
cladistics, classical taxonomy, molecular techniques, etc. I believe I have
all the bases covered in terms of lecture resources, texts and scientific
articles. However, I have been unable to find a laboratory manual that
would fit a class of this nature. I am aware of labs using dichotomous
keys, the Caminalcules, and I have developed a few exercises on my own. But
I am curious if there are any published (even if online) lab exercises that
can be integrated into the course (obviously with proper credit to the
author). Any suggestions will be appreciated
