Topic: A Laboratory Manual for Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy


  
  Comparative psychology Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Comparative psychology may be said to have come into being in the late nineteenth century, with the work of George Romanes on animal psychology, inspired by Charles Darwin.
Strictly speaking, comparative psychology ought to involve the use of a comparative method, in which similar studies are carried out on animals of different species, and the results interpreted in terms of their different phylogenetic or ecological backgrounds.
However, the broader use of the term "comparative psychology" is enshrined in the names of learned societies and academic journals, not to mention in the minds of psychologists of other specialisms, so it is never likely to disappear completely.

 Libbie Hyman - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
Supporting herself as laboratory assistant in various zoology courses, she concluded that a better laboratory text was needed, which in time she was to supply.
Again unsure of her future, she accepted a position as research assistant in Child's laboratory, and she taught undergraduate courses in comparative anatomy.
In addition to her major project, Hyman extensively revised A Laboratory Manual for Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy in 1942 into a textbook as well as laboratory manual; she referred to it as her "bread and butter" for its income.

Laboratory: The laboratory for comparative anatomy consists almost entirely of dissection and the study of large amounts of anatomical detail.
The laboratory quizzes are "practical" exams, the first three of which are given during the first half hour of the indicated laboratory periods.
Laboratory exams are the sole mechanism for assessing your performance in the laboratory.

 Syllabus, Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy -- Fall 2005
Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy is a course concerning the evolution of vertebrates.
We will explore how vertebrates originated, their characteristic anatomical and physiological features, and how those features allow vertebrates to perceive their environment, locomote, seek prey, avoid predators, maintain homeostasis and basically do everything an organism must do to live.
We will learn to appreciate that the vertebrate body is not simply a collection of static anatomy, but that the form and function of vertebrates is integrated into functional systems.

 Libbie Hyman Summary
Libbie Henrietta Hyman (1888-1969) was a specialist in invertebrate and vertebrate zoology.
During her time as a laboratory assistant, helping Child direct his classes, Hyman had felt that a better student guide book was needed, and now she wrote one.
By 1930, Hyman had realized she could live on the royalties from the sale of her laboratory manuals, and she resigned her position in the zoology department, leaving Chicago in 1931 to tour western Europe for fifteen months.

 Comparative Anatomy: Vertebrate Dissection Manual - From Monitor-Data.com Store   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
This lab manual was a supplement text that I was not required to buy however we ended up relying on it heavily in the laboratory so much that I found I needed my own copy, rather than the limited few available.
The one disadvantage that this manual has though is that it does not provide instruction in dissection to see these samples (one reason why my college does not rely on it as a main laboratory manual) and only covers three vertebrate systems and none of the hemichordates.
I believe that it is a worthwhile investment though if you are taking a comparative anatomy course (Such as the one at Florida Tech....) to have this text as reference.

Further, nearly every piece of art is printed again in the back of the laboratory manual to allow the figures to be sorted and reviewed separate from the laboratory text.
Especially unique and useful are the numerous short boxed essays describing particular aspects of structure-function relationships and the evolution of the specific anatomy under examination.
I strongly recommend this manual as an attractive, clearly written, and thoroughly illustrated manual to support any course in comparative vertebrate anatomy.

 Libbie (Henrietta) Hyman Biography - Biography.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
She performed research on lower invertebrates such as hydra and planaria, while working for the celebrated biologist Charles Manning Child at the University of Chicago (1916–31), and wrote the widely used Laboratory Manual for Elementary Zoology (1919) and A Laboratory Manual for Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy (1922).
She lived and worked alone and, while she often intimidated others due to her undiplomatic manner and her forceful but well-founded opinions, she held the respect of fellow scientists for her elegant research and writing.
Because of ill health, she was unable to complete The Invertebrates to include higher molluscs and arthropods, although the finished volumes are classic examples of unspeculative research in comparative morphology and physiology.

This notebook is a reprinted collection of the most important and commonly used dissection figures in the current edition of the laboratory manual.
This laboratory manual weaves the functional and evolutionary concepts from the textbook, Vertebrates: Comparative Anatomy, Function, Evolution into the morphological details of the laboratory exercises.
Using icons, the laboratory manual identifies cross references to the textbook, so students can quickly move from the dissection guide to the textbook to consult the expanded treatment of function and evolution.

 BY 303 COMPARATIVE VERTEBRATE ANATOMY SPRING, 1997
Course description: The objective of the course is to present a broad comparative analysis of vertebrate morphology by considering individual organ system structure and function, integration of anatomical structures in the individual, and functional-anatomical adaptations of vertebrates to particular environments.
The primary content of the lecture will be detailed consideration of each vertebrate organ system, emphasizing the relationship between structure and function of the organs, and evolutionary modifications of each organ system seen in different vertebrate classes.
NOTE: Relatively little emphasis is placed on human anatomy, so if this is your primary interest, you should probably take the Human Anatomy and Physiology course offered by the department of Integrated Health Sciences.
