Features: This book is a supplementary laboratory manual for General Zoology (3rd Edition), edited by Liu Lingyun and Zheng Guangmei. The writing style remains concise, practical, and focused on fundamentals. In terms of content selection, it considers the broad representativeness of experimental materials and the affordability of experimental costs. Each laboratory experiment highlights key points and features logical operational steps, emphasizing the training of students' independent working abilities. Within the scope of the text, it appropriately increases depth while maintaining a focus on advanced knowledge. In the arrangement of laboratory teaching, the original 34 experiments have been streamlined to 29 to accommodate the new teaching plan. At the beginning of each experiment, an "Experimental Operation Key Points" section has been added to help students identify critical steps that require special attention. At the end of each experiment, a "Reference Bibliography" is provided, listing major study materials related to the experiment, serving as a guide for young teachers in lesson preparation and for students with extra time for further study. At the end of the book, three "Appendices" have been added, briefly introducing the collection and cultivation of major experimental animals, specimen preparation, and observations of representative animal life cycles, hoping to broaden students' horizons and help them understand what preparations are needed for an experiment. This can also serve as a reference for extracurricular activities. Additionally, in experiments related to microscopes, introductions to several new types of microscopes have been added to keep pace with the rapid development of modern cell and molecular biology techniques. This book can be used as a laboratory manual for animal science programs in comprehensive universities, agricultural and forestry colleges, and can also serve as a reference for normal universities and related professionals.
