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,

1. Species Name and Common Name


2. Brief Description of the Organism


3. Brief Description of the Habitat


4. Biology of the Species
   a. Cell Biology
   b. Genetics
   c. Evolution
   d. Ecology
   e. Physiology


5. Edit History


6. Attribution
   a. Authors
   b. Affiliations


7. 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,

1. Expedition name
   a. Brief Description of Expedition


2. The Expedition Leader


3. Biology of the Expedition
   a. Description of Significant Findings
