Dear colleagues, A few years ago I posted a message here asking if anyone knew of introductory biology laboratory write-ups that integrated inquiry-driven phylogenetic analyses and classical surveys of the major taxa. Several people asked me to post any that I found but I did not discover any at that time. Recently, however, some colleagues and I finished initial development of exercises along these lines, with CCLI funding. These continue to be a work in progress but in case they would be of value to others I have posted them to the following website: http://facstaff.uww.edu/mckinnoj/UWWCCLIWriteups.html Please feel free to download and use or modify any of the exercises that might be of interest. Please do let me know if you decide to use any, in whole or in part. Cheers, Jeff Jeffrey S. McKinnon, Coordinator, UW-W Undergraduate Research Program, Prof., Dept. of Biological Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, 800 West Main Street, Whitewater, WI 53190, U.S.A.
