BIOL 200 - Invertebrate Zoology: Suggested Websites and Resources

Treehouses are Tree of Life pages designed for kids, teachers, and the young at heart. The information found on treehouses complements the scientific core content presented on Tree of Life branch and leaf pages.

The Yale Peabody Museum invites you into the Division of Invertebrate Zoology to explore thousands of high-resolution scientifically and historically significant microscope slides from the Division’s collection. An invaluable resource for both researchers and educators, this virtual microscopy tool lets you browse and search through 150 years of research on single-celled organisms, fossil foraminifera, parasites, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and even reefs through time, and more.

Magnify specimens for a close-up view or see an entire slide in sharp focus to reveal tiny details. A mapping feature identifies where specimens were collected. Annotations point out and identify specific structures in an organism. Thousands of the slides are important for the history of the study of disease.
