Biological Sciences

From Smithsonian Institute

A collection of TED Talks (and more) on the topic of Biodiversity

Created by Christopher Ernst
Professor Ernst states"In these videos, I take student on a visual “tour” of each animal, typically starting with external structures/features, often emphasizing any interesting adaptations that allow them to thrive in their particular habits. Then I address internal anatomy, and I generally cover basic digestive, reproductive, and urinary systems, along with notable muscle groups in some animals, as well as cardio-respiratory organs. (I don’t spend a lot of time discussing the circulatory or nervous systems.)"
