LESSON 1_INTRODUCTION TO LIVING ANIMALS.pptx
Zoology is the study of animals and their diversity. It emerged as a science in the 12th century and has since specialized in fields like anatomy, physiology, ecology, and evolution. Key figures like Aristotle, Darwin, and Linnaeus contributed foundational work in classification, evolution, and nomenclature. Today, zoologists face challenges understanding animal relationships and protecting species from threats like overpopulation and resource depletion.
Systematic zoology
This document discusses the concepts and history of systematic zoology and taxonomy. It defines taxonomy as the classification of living things and systematics as the scientific study of diversity and relationships among organisms. It outlines the contributions of taxonomy in fields like epidemiology and wildlife management. The document then discusses the scope of taxonomy, problems in taxonomy, and provides a history of taxonomy from Aristotle to modern molecular systematics approaches.
Zoology
Zoology is the branch of biology relating to the animal kingdom, including the structure, evolution, classification, habits, and distribution of animals. The history of zoology traces the study of animals from ancient times through the modern era. Key developments included the scientific revolution, cell theory, and Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Modern zoology involves research in fields like structural biology, physiology, evolution, systematics, ethology, and biogeography.
Animal Systematics Lecture 1
This document provides an overview of taxonomy and the classification of life. It discusses the early development of taxonomy from Aristotle through Linnaeus and the establishment of the binomial nomenclature system. It also describes how Darwin's theory of evolution influenced taxonomy by establishing that classification should reflect evolutionary relationships and shared ancestry. Modern taxonomy incorporates various lines of evidence including morphology, embryology, biochemistry, and molecular data to reconstruct evolutionary history and classify organisms appropriately.
Taxonomy n Systematics
This document provides an overview of the history and development of taxonomy, the science of classifying living organisms. It discusses how early taxonomists like Aristotle and Linnaeus grouped organisms based on visible characteristics. Charles Darwin later established that taxonomy should reflect evolutionary relationships and shared ancestry. The document also outlines the major kingdoms and domains proposed by scientists over time to classify the diversity of life, from the original plant and animal kingdoms to the current three domain system of bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. Molecular evidence now supports or refines previous taxonomic classifications.
Biodiversity and classification
The document discusses biodiversity and classification. It begins by defining biodiversity as the wide range of species and number of organisms within communities. It notes that the SSC has identified over 1.6 million known species, though many more are unknown. Classification involves grouping organisms based on similarities and differences to study them. Early systems from Aristotle and Linnaeus classified organisms as plant or animal. Later systems incorporated more evidence from areas like genetics and molecular biology. The five kingdom system, developed by Whittaker, separated organisms into bacteria, protists, plants, fungi and animals based on characteristics like cellular structure.
Chapter 18- Classification of Life
- The document discusses the evolution of biological classification systems from Linnaeus's two-kingdom system to the modern three-domain system. It describes the levels of taxonomy from smallest to largest and characteristics used to classify organisms, including evolutionary relationships revealed by DNA evidence. The three domains are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya, with Eukarya containing the kingdoms Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Classification systems continue adapting to new genetic and molecular evidence.
anthropological foundations of education
Anthropology is the scientific study of humans, their physical characteristics and cultural behavior. It is divided into four subfields: physical/biological anthropology which studies human evolution and biology; archaeology which studies ancient human cultures through artifacts; cultural anthropology which compares human societies and cultures; and linguistic anthropology which studies language and its relationship to culture. Language is uniquely human and essential for transmitting culture from one generation to the next. While humans have physical advantages over other animals like tool use, biologically we are classified as animals. Anthropology helps understand human development and cultural diversity as well as our relationships with other species.

Evolution
Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection. He proposed that over many generations, natural selection leads to evolution of species as individuals with traits better suited to the environment tend to survive and pass on their genes more than others. Evidence for evolution includes the fossil record showing gradual changes over time, similarities in anatomy and embryology across species, and molecular biology findings. Key events included Lamarck's theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics, Darwin's observations leading to his theory and evidence like fossils, and modern findings in genetics, biochemistry and other fields that further support evolution.
Classification seven kingdom
Taxonomy (or systematics) is basically concerned with the classification of organisms. Living organisms are placed in groups on the basis of similarities and differences at the organismic, cellular, and molecular levels.
The use of biology
Biology is the science of living systems and includes many specialties and disciplines that study life at different levels of organization, from cells to ecosystems. Some key areas of biology are taxonomy, ecology, genetics, molecular biology, evolution, morphology, physiology, and development. Biology seeks to understand the characteristics of life, such as metabolism, growth, response to stimuli, and reproduction, as well as the mechanisms that control these processes at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels.

History of taxonomy 3
The history of taxonomy is described in four periods by Mayr. The first period focused on local fauna studies by ancient Greek scholars like Aristotle. The second period was marked by the acceptance of evolution, influenced by Darwin's ideas. The third period saw the rise of population systematics in the 1930s, where Mayr defined species as interbreeding natural populations. Current taxonomy in the fourth period utilizes a wide range of data beyond just morphology, including genetics, biochemistry, and behavior.
Diversity in living organisms
Taxonomy is the science of classifying organisms and involves naming, describing, and arranging species into a classification system. Taxonomists have identified about 1.78 million species but the total number is estimated between 5-30 million. Taxonomy ranks species from most general to specific as domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. The three domains are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryota. Kingdoms include Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, and others. Classification systems continue to be revised as new research emerges.
Presentation-WPS Office.pptx
- Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection in the mid-1800s to explain how species change over generations through natural processes. He proposed that populations vary genetically, traits can be passed to offspring, and individuals with traits better suited to the environment will likely survive and pass on their traits, leading to evolution over time. The mechanism of natural selection results in gradual adaptive changes in populations over many generations.
Biology
Modern biology is a broad field composed of many interconnected subdisciplines that study life at different scales. While diverse, biology is unified by some key concepts like evolution, cells as the basic unit of life, and genes as the basic unit of heredity. Subdisciplines include biochemistry, molecular biology, botany, cellular biology, physiology, ecology, and evolutionary biology. Biology has developed significantly since ancient times, with major advances in microscopy revealing cells and advances in genetics revealing DNA as the carrier of heredity. The modern synthesis of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection with genetics and population genetics formed the foundation of modern biology.
Charles darwin and victorian era
Charles Darwin was a British scientist born in 1809 who developed the theory of evolution by natural selection. He observed various species during his voyage on the HMS Beagle and developed the idea that species evolve over generations through natural selection of beneficial inherited traits. Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859 which explained evolution and was highly influential, though controversial as it contradicted religious beliefs of the time. Darwin's theory transformed scientific thought and had significant impacts on Victorian society and literature, challenging traditional religious views.
Reasons why you should invest in anthropology
Anthropology is an in-depth study of human development, culture and change around the world, past and present. The importance of anthropology stems from its emphasis on context, which is reflected in the perspectives offered by the four domains of the discipline: sociocultural, biological, linguistic and archaeological anthropology.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

zoology.pptx
- 1. Zoology is the branch of biology concerned with the study animals and animal kingdom. It is also known as animal biology. The study of zoology includes the interaction of animal kingdom in their ecosystems such as classification, habits, structure, embryology, distribution, evolution, and extinct species. Zoology is the division of biology that deals with the animal kingdom. It is the scientific study related to the entire species of the animal kingdom.
- 2. • An ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle, was a first-person to broadly classify the living things in the 4th century BC. Firstly he divided living things into animals and plants and then continued with his further classifications. Later the words like biology, botany, and zoology came into existence. • The study of zoology includes animals physiology, their behaviour, and their interaction with other species in their environment. It is a huge course that includes the distribution of every animal species on earth including extinct animals. Apart from the animal kingdom and ecosystem, zoology also explores the new areas of research.
- 3. • Later, Aristotle divided animals into two classes: one with red-blood and another without such as insects and crustaceans. Then, he further classified creatures into those who were able to walk, flow and swim. • The classification by Aristotle was followed until the 16th century, during the Age of enlightenment, scientists finally began to research closely. Now, zoology has become much more complex, where the living things are divided into five kingdoms, in which animal kingdom themselves divided into several smaller categories of Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and, finally, Species. • These developments were synthesized in Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection. In the year 1859, Charles Robert Darwin presented the theory of organic evolution along with its observational evidence.
- 4. • Branches of Zoology • The study of animal life is ancient, but its scientific incarnation is relatively modern. Until the comparative anatomical study on morphographs by Hunter and Cuvier, the modern areas of zoological investigations have occurred. Gradually zoology expanded behind the comparative anatomy to include the following sub-disciplines: • Zoography, it is also known as descriptive zoology. • Comparative Zoology. • Soil Zoology. • Mammalogy. • Comparative anatomy. • Herpetology.
