How do scientists document and study the most diverse vertebrate group on Earth?

What, exactly, is a fish? Find out why that’s not a simple question, and how ichthyologists determine how to classify members of the largest and most diverse of all vertebrate groups. Drawing on evolution, ecosystem diversity, and biogeography, this six-week online course follows Museum scientists into the lab to investigate whether a specimen is a new species of South American catfish.

How do we know that birds are dinosaurs?

Examine the overwhelming evidence that a group of dinosaurs escaped extinction and we see these living dinosaurs every day. We call them birds! Authored by world-class experts at the frontier of paleontology, this six-week online course introduces you to the world's largest collection of vertebrate fossils, looks at how fossils are collected and prepared, and describes how scientists use evolutionary reasoning to show that birds are dinosaurs.

Draw on the wit and wisdom of brilliant scientists to inspire your students as you teach them about a challenging area of biology. This teacher’s guide, which accompanies the EVO DVD, is structured around 10 fundamental questions about biological evolution. The teachers guide explores the DVD’s commentary from some of the world’s most well-known biologists, who gathered on the Galápagos Islands during a World Summit on Evolution and were interviewed about everything from what evolution is to how it happens to why anyone should care.
