Living in Earths Diverse Environments. While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need.
Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you! Skip to main content. Printer Friendly. New to This Edition. A new Chapter 1 introduces students to systems biology and to science as a process of discovery and inquiry. The chapter that introduces metabolism is now in the Cell Unit , just before the chapters on cellular respiration and photosynthesis, providing students with a cohesive view of energy transformations.
The updated Genetics Unit incorporates the theme of systems biology and offers new sections on molecular evolution and genomics. The Evolution Unit features new examples that highlight experimental approaches to the study of evolution. The revised Diversity Unit conveys the dynamic and exciting research across organismal biology resulting from advances in genomics. The physiology of diverse animals is examined in a more ecological context in the unit on Animal Form and Function, which also includes a new section on the vertebrate brain.
A new animal behavior chapter in the Ecology Unit provides a modern approach to the field, with expanded coverage of game theory, mate choice, and animal cognition. The capstone chapter highlights restoration ecology throughout. Eight new interviews with renowned researchers will inspire students and show them the human side of science.
