2.2 The Understanding Biodiversity Species Page
As mentioned above,Understanding Biodiversityis a repository of species information relevant for the secondary
level life science classroom: cell biology, genetics, evolution, ecology, and physiology. This information will be
presented through individual species pages. Aspecies pageis essentially an individual section of a chapter.
Each species page will contain as much relevant information as feasible. Information will include, but not be limited
to,
- Species Name and Common Name
- Brief Description of the Organism
- Brief Description of the Habitat
- Biology of the Species
a. Cell Biology
b. Genetics
c. Evolution
d. Ecology
e. Physiology - Edit History
- Attribution
a. Authors
b. Affiliations - References
See theSaccharomyces cerevisiae(Baker’s Yeast) species page for an example.
Expedition pages will contain as much relevant information as feasible. Information will include, but not be limited
to,
- Expedition name
a. Brief Description of Expedition - The Expedition Leader
- Biology of the Expedition
a. Description of Significant Findings - Edit History
- Attribution
a. Authors
b. Affiliations - References
