This lab requires a CD (Wilson, E. O., and D. L. Perlman. 2000. Conserving Earth’s Biodiversity. (CD) Island Press, NY.) which is installed on the computers in  Lab 206 and in the botany lab (217). Click the icon on the desktop.   You may work in a group of two or three and turn in one report, although you may learn more if you do your own graphs and write your own stuff.
