Experimental Developmental Biology: A Laboratory Manual is designed for use in college-level laboratory courses in developmental biology. It offers challenging experiments for students to perform as independent investigators as they probe developmental processes in living embryos at the organizational, cellular, and subcellular levels. * Combines classical embryology with modern experimental methods * Provides numerous in-depth experiments in each exercise that focus on a single species of an organism * Concentrates on the living embryos of sea urchins, frogs, chicks, Drosophila, and sponges * Covers the procedures for gel electrophoresis and microscopy * Assembles essential references for background and further study * Offers guidelines for writing lab notes and reports * Contains an extensive preparer's guide to show students how to set up each lab * Outlines the theory of optics
The manual contains challenging experiments requiring minimal equipment that are suitable for both large and small classes. Recipes for solutions, annotated bibliographies, and lists of scientific suppliers are also included.
This book intends to bridge the gap between experimental work and the laboratory classes taken at the undergraduate and post-graduate levels.
Experimental Developmental Biology
This book is a valuable resource for biochemists, biologists, zoologists, neurophysiologists, and scientists. Students and research workers interested in the dynamic order of living systems will also find this book useful.

There is often very little formal training in this area for biologists; therefore this text serves as an essential teaching tool for understanding the theory and practice of designing a research plan.
A laboratory manual for developmental biology offering basic, easy to use, laboratory investigations (18 experiments) spanning various models including echinoderm (Sea Urchin), amphibian (Frog), chick embryo, and fern gametophyte.
