Teaching Evolutionary Biology

In order not to duplicate the efforts of others (see sites below), my primary goals are (1) to gather examples of laboratory exercises in evolutionary biology, and (2) to maintain a list of links to evolution course homepages. Please contact me if you wish to submit links to your courses, or contribute lab exercises to be posted on this site. The latter can be accepted as links, or as attached files in any common word processing format.
