Planet Earth is teeming with life. Help your students make sense of it all by starting them at the bottom of the biosphere --home to bacteria, microbes, fungi, and insects. Organization and Diversity, a menu-driven DVD, defines key terms, classifies the kingdoms and domains of life, outlines the Linnean hierarchical system, contrasts evolutionary taxonomy with cladistic analysis, and provides powerful DNA evidence supporting the unity of life. Also, the fascinating contributions of molecular taxonomy are showcased.
