The goal of this lab is to prepare you to be able to identify amphibian species by their key characteristics, and to learn some natural history about the major groups of amphibians. You will be tested on this material in a quiz one week from today.
Readings are available in labeled file folders at the side table.
DO NOT remove these folders from the lab. Be gentle with the specimens in the lab. A cassette tape of select amphibian calls, as well as a tape player, is available at the back of the lab. Feel free to play the tape whenever you are working but please do not remove the tape from lab. The class Amphibia is distinguished by no such simple earmark as the hair of mammals, or the feathers of birds.
