Course Syllabus
Fall 2011
Instructo r: Dr. Michael B. Harvey, Rm. 107, Bldg. 7, 305-519-9544 (cell; number
to call when leaving messages) 954-201-6831 (office); [email protected].
Facebook: I encourage students to use the community page Dr. Harveys
Zoology Class on Facebook. During previous semesters, students have found
this page useful for posting pictures from field trips and from lab. Its a useful
place to schedule study sessions and to ask your classmates any number of
questions.
Course Information:
Description : General Zoology (ZOO2010) is a basic course covering the
development, anatomy, physiology, ecology, and evolution of the animal
kingdom. The course is designed to meet the needs of both science majors and
nonmajors; it meets area 4A general education requirements for the A.A. degree
and areas 4 or 5 general education requirements for the A.S. degree.Credit Hours: 3
Contact Hours per Week: 3
Co-requisites: ZOO2010L
Overview and Goals: Upon successful completion of this course, students should
appreciate the diversity of the animal kingdom and understand its phylogeny,
basic biology, and ecology. Students should be able to
Explain the classification of Protista, Porifera, Cnidaria, and Ctenophora
and detail the distinguishing characteristics and importance of selectedtaxa.
Understand and describe the life cycles of selected parasitic and non-
parasitic acoelomates and pseudocoelomates.

Compare and contrast anatomical, physiological, and ecological features
of selected lesser protostomes and selected taxa of the Mollusca,
Annelida, and Arthropoda.
Compare and contrast anatomical, physiological, and ecological features
of the echinoderms, chordates, and other selected deuterostome taxa. Explain the evolution, physiology, and ecology of fishes and explain why
they have been so successful in their environment.
Explain the transition from an aquatic to a terrestrial existence in
chordates.
Explain adaptations for flight and characterize the relationship between
birds and reptiles.
Methods of Instruction: The material for this course will be presented during class
lecture using a combination of PowerPoint, handouts, and notes written on the
board or overhead. Students will also read complimentary sections in the
textbook. Concepts will be reinforced by lab exercises, homework, class
discussion, and optional fieldtrips.
Required Texts:
Hickman, C. P., Jr. et al. 2007. Animal Diversity. 4th Edition. McGraw Hill, Boston.
Assignments and Evaluation: Your grade in this class will be based on daily
quizzes, homework, and three large exams. There is no final comprehensive
exam in this course. Questions will be fill in the blank, short answer, essay, and
matching. All quizzes and homework will be averaged at the end of the
semester, and the final grade will be calculated as follows:
Quizzes 30%
Homework 20%
3 Exams @ 100 pts
each 50%
Total 100%
A: 90-100% C: 70-79% F: 0-59%
B: 80-89% D: 60-69%

Field Trips: Students may have an opportunity to participate in one or more field
trips throughout the semester. These trips are completely optional. Successful
completion of assignments associated with the field trips count as extra credit
and can potentially raise a students final grade by 10% (one letter grade).
How to Be Successful in this Course:
Realize that ZOO2010 and 2010L require a minimum of 6-8 hours per
week in reading and studying outside of class.
Read ahead. Try to read chapters in the textbook before lectures begin on
a new topic.
Use the internet: numerous sites provide photos and supplementary
information about the animals we will learn about. Online photos are
particularly helpful in lab.
Exchange telephone numbers and e-mails with 3 other students.
Attendance: Attendance is mandatory and will be reflected in your quiz grades. I
adhere strictly to campus policy 6Hx2-4.20 (Religious Observances) and Policy
6Hx2-4.18 (Class Attendance). There shall be no penalty for a student who is
absent from academic activities because of religious holy day observances in his
faith, the students serious illness, death in the immediate family, or attendanceto statutory governmental responsibilities. You must notify me in advance and
in writing when practicable under the circumstances. Documentation in the form
of a note from your doctor or an announcement in the newspaper is required for
all absences due to death or illness. You will receive a zero on any assignment
missed because of an unexcused absence.
Quizzes are given and homework is collected at the beginning of class. If
you are late, you will not be allowed to take the quiz. Please come on time to
avoid disrupting the class.
Academic Dishonesty: If you cheat or plagiarize, you will receive a failing grade
in the course.

Rules of the House: You may make audio recordings (but no video recordings)
of my lectures, however I urge you to take notes as well because you will retain
the information longer if you write it down.
**Please turn off all electronic devices such as cell phones before
entering class. If your cell phone rings during class, you will receive a zero forany grades given that week (including major exams).
Students with Disabilities: Any student who has special needs as defined by
the Americans with Disabilities Act should notify the instructor so that reasonable
accommodations can be made.

How to Study
Consider the following text from lecture:
Giardia: Backpackers Dysentery, Giardiasis
Common in Rocky Mountains Beavers and other mammals are reservoir hosts Protective cyst used for dispersal
Try organizing this as a parallel list; you should supplement your list with info fromtextbook (mainly for clarification; I base quizzes on the notes). The method is then to coverup one side and try to recall the other side. Then, switch sides.
Giardia Genus of flagellate protists; cause diarrhea
Distribution? Worldwide; Rocky Mountains
Reservoir Host Definition A host where a parasite can hide when not
in humansReservoir host of Giardia Beavers; other mammals
Cyst Protective shell; dispersal
Intestine Where Giardia lives
Ingesting cyst How people get infected
Practice spelling difficult words:(1) Copy Giardia by saying it out loud while you write it; do this 2 or 3 times(2) Cover the word up and try to spell it from memory; again say the word out loud!(3) Copy it again, saying it out loud.
Search the web so that you can associate pictures with the words. Try making conceptmaps or life cycle charts.
Sample Questions:
1. Backpackers diarrhea is caused by ______; a flagellate that lives in the intestine.2. How does a reservoir host differ from an intermediate host?3. When Giardia passes out of the body, it is surrounded by a protective ____.4. Where in the body does Giardia live?
Some students prefer flashcards to parallel lists, although I think they take up too much
room and take too much time to make. One student said that she would go over the notesand makeup questions that she thought I would ask. It is important to work with thisinformation and not just read over and highlight it.

1. Preparation: First read over all your notes. Read over the chapter in yourtextbook.
2. Organize Your Study Guide:
A. Make a table with the vocabulary words in the left column and definitions in theright column. Try to define as many of these as you can from memory. Then,organize your notes from lecture and lab and associate definitions and conceptswith each vocabulary word. (WARNING: Use your notes to generate definitions;do not look the terms up online or in the back of your book unless you are confusedby your notes and by the chapter. You also want to be as brief as possible.Remember, you are making a study sheet for yourself. Im not interested in a longdefinition!).
B. Add 15 short answer questions based on topics from your notes. Place the questionsin the left column and the answers in the right column.
C. Number the words and the definitions, and the questions.
3. Turn In: Make a photocopy for me and keep the original for yourself.4. Study: Cover up the vocabulary words and look at the definitions. Try to remember
as many as you can. Say the words out loud and practice writing them on a scratchsheet of paper. Check off the ones you have trouble with so that you can work onthose again later. Now cover the definitions and see if you can recall them from thelist of words. Use the same procedure to study your questions.

Phyla: Mollusca, Chordata
I. Short Answer and Essay
1. How are pearls formed? What are cultured pearls?2. Describe feeding in a clam. Mention incurrent and excurrent siphons, mucus, cilia,
labial palps.3. How does a pocketbook mussel disperse its offspring and what are the offspring
called?4. Ammonites andNautilus have chambered shells. What function do these chambers
serve?5. Among the cephalopods, the shell has been reduced to varying degrees. Which
cephalopods retain a shell and which have lost it completely? What is the shellcalled in these various groups of cephalopods? Is it external or internal? What is theshell made out of?
6. What are zebra mussels and why are they a problem in the US?7. Describe filter-feeding in Amphioxus. (mention roles of cirri, oral hood, wheel
organ, cilia, pharynx, velum, velar tentacles, endostyle, epipharyngeal groove,mucus, pharyngeal slits, atrium, atriopore).
8. Describe the morphology and function of a notochord. Do any adult vertebrateshave one? What replaces the notochord functionally in most vertebrates?
9. In what ways does a primitive vertebrate such as an ammocoetes larva (larvallamprey) differ from an amphioxus?
10. What do lampreys and hagfish eat. They lack bone, but do they have any teeth?What are their teeth made out of?
11. Why do sharks sink if they stop swimming? What morphological and behavioralcharacteristics keep them from sinking while they swim? How do they use theBernoulli principle to keep from sinking.
12. How does the fin of a ray-fin fish differ from that of a lobe-fin fish?

13. Primitively, the swim bladder was connected to the digestive tract (the pharynx) bya trachea. What was the evolutionary fate of the swim bladder and trachea inadvanced fishes (teleosts) and in most lobe-fin fish? Why do gars come up to thesurface periodically to gulp air?
14. Labyrinthodonts were the first tetrapods. What were some of their fishlike
characteristics that have been lost in modern amphibians?15. Vertebrates have undergone several major transitions during their evolution. Whatinnovations allowed them to (1) move from being a filter feeder to a fastswimming, active predator, (2) move from water onto land, (3) move into desertenvironments without the need to return to water to breed, (4) invade the air.
16. What preadaptations for flight did therapod dinosaurs possess? Compare thetherapod Caudipteryx to primitive birds likeRahona and modern birds.
17. In what ways have birds reduced their mass to make flying easier.18. What is the Bernoulli principle and how do birds make the most of the Bernoulli
effect?19. Give examples of some gliders and parachutists. How do these groups of animals
differ; in what part of the world do most of them live and why?20. Describe how feather morphology relates to function.21. Why do ducks fly in a V; why do vultures circle above rock outcrops.22. Contrast the morphology of the wings of birds, bats, pterosaurs, and insects. For
the first three, make a table with three columns: (1) is wing membranous orfeathered, (2) how have they achieved forearm stability? (3) what happened to thefingers (=digits)?
23. Contrast the relative lengths of hand and arm wings of hummingbirds andalbatrosses. How do relative lengths of the wings relate to function (form vs.function)?

IV. Phylogeny: You will see a phylogeny of chordates like those presented in class. I mayask you to supply characters to branches of the phylogeny or supply names at the ends ofbranches. Practice making phylogenies ahead of time. You might put all the characters in alist and them add them to a tree you copy from your notes with just the names on it. Thentry the reverse: add names to a tree of characters. Finally, try drawing the entire tree withcharacters from memory.

Go past the Ernest Coe visitor center; pay $10/car to enter the park, and drive downto the Royal Palm Visitor Center and Anhinga Trail. We will meet in front of the visitorcenter and begin a walk along the Anhinga trail at 10:00 AM sharp. Youll be able toreturn home shortly after dark. Remember that this trip is for extra credit and you donthave to go.
During the trip, you will make a list of species that you see. I will help you identify them.The list will include the speciess name, distinguishing characteristics, and observations.Example:
Species: Snowy EgretCharacteristics: White wading bird with distinctive black legs and yellow feetObservations: small flock of about four feeding in shallow pool; two pairs nesting near
pond had 4-5 chicks.
What to Bring:
Sunscreen
Insect repellent
Notepad
Pen
Comfortable Shoes
Recommended:
Binoculars: If youve been planning to buy a pair, nows the time! I use a pair ofwaterproof Bushnells 8 X 42. They cost about $40. If you buy a pair, choose somewhere the higher number divided by the lower number is close to 5.
Camera
Water bottle
