MAMMALOGY SITES ON THE WEB

The Internet is an excellent source of information. It is also an excellent source of disinformation. Not all web sites are created equal. Below are some web sites that will be very helpful for this course.

The web page for Vaughan, Ryan, and Czaplewski Mammalogy is not very useful, but does contain the end of chapter web links.

Feldhammer Mammalogy Web Page: The last time I looked it was not very useful.
