Green Sea Slug--How do we classify it?


Please comment on this post, and write a brief response to the article "Green Sea Slug."
http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/01/green-sea-slug/

Think about this organism--what strikes you as interesting? What adaptations does it have? How is it different from other organisms with similar abilities? Where in the world do we group this organism using our current 6 Kingdom taxonomic system? What shared traits does it have with other organisms and what characters are derived?

You do not have to answer all these questions, but be thoughtful and creative in your response, demonstrating your knowledge of concepts used in class. Also, check out your classmates posts and build upon their comments.

Zoology Zone Welcomes a New Year, a New Class



The Fall 2009 class finished the year strong and is currently spreading their newly acquired knowledge of animal diversity. It was a wonderful first semester for the Zoology Class, and I would like to thank the 12 brave students who made this class fun to teach everyday. I would also like to thank them for providing critical feedback and suggestions in order to improve the success of the class for the benefit of future students.

With that...Spring 2010 semester is quickly approaching! An entire new class of soon-to-be zoologist will be entering the Zoology Zone and writing our weekly blog sections. Keep your eyes peeled for their first entries as we follow the recent trends in animal science.
