General Zoology Laboratory Manual, fourth edition, by Stephen A. Miller, is an excellent corollary to the text and incorporates many of the same learning aids. This edition offers enhanced coverage of the scientific method, a new exercise on cladistics, and activities in the survey of the animal phyla in Part Two that emphasize evolutionary relationships. A Laboratory Resource Guide is also available and contains additional information about materials and procedures, and the answers to worksheet questions that accompany the lab exercises.

Life Science Animations is a series of five videotapes featuring more than 50 animations of key physiological processes spanning the breadth of concepts covered in a typical life science course. Of particular interest to professors teaching zoology are tape 3, Animal Biology: Part I, and tape 4, Animal Biology, Part II. These full-color animations enable the student to more fully and easily grasp such concepts as the formation of the myelin sheath, saltatory nerve conduction, signal integration, reflex arcs, and the organ of static equilibrium.
