Labs 8 and 9 Review: Rodents

Okay, gang, listen up: the best way for you to review the rodents is to utilize the resources of the Animal Diversity Web at the University of Michigan. Below I've listed a general rodents link that has lots of goodies on it, as well as links to images for a specimen from each group that we studied in lab. ADW in some cases has images for more than one specimen per group. Look around, and have fun. A big ol' thank you goes out to Dr Phil Myers for making this fantastic resource available.
