Abstract
Students in an introductory biology course used pictures of imaginary creatures to construct species descriptions, and then use these imaginary species to build a viable community. Instructors may implement this exercise as an extension of the laboratory experience, as a bridge between lecture and laboratory, or in either the discussion or website component of a hybrid course. The activity was implemented in the latter format.
