Description
Students analyze morphological data and run electrophoresis gels to determine whether researchers have rediscovered a species of lemur once thought to be extinct. A molecular evolution and ecology lab based on our collaborators' published and unpublished research, this collaboration with the Duke Lemur Center was designed with the goal of bringing molecular techniques to ecology and evolution units. Use as either a quick, single-period, gel-running lab or a week-long mini unit. For 8 lab groups.
