Taxonomy Lab Tomorrow

I hope you all had a wonderful four-day weekend. For tomorrow, download your Taxonomy Lab from the "Documents" tab. You will be doing that lab with your lab partner tomorrow. Your Taxonomy Lab Report is due on Friday.

EXTRA LEARNING:
For those of you who are interested in the phylogenetic relationship between some storks and New World vultures, Ms. Babiuk found this article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (1994). Remember, structural similarities do not always indicate that two organisms are closely related. The most reliable evidence for evolutionary relationships among organisms is at the level of DNA. For overachievers who actually read the article, look up the difference between the terms "taxonomy" and "phylogeny." =)
