This awesome video by the University of Michigan’s Museum of Zoology show the process involved with articulating a bat skeleton from start to finish. This is incredibly similar to how we do it in our own lab, but we typically use a previously frozen specimen and our bug colony is not so active so things take a little longer there. I wish we had the kind of facility they do, but I’m glad to see they are using their resources to make such cool educational material! It helps me dream of the infinite possibilities for our own lab projects.
The Tree of Life Web Project is like Wikipedia for animal (and plant) classification nerds.
Search for something (like one of the categories below) to see what all is contained within that phylogenetic group. You might be surprised! Just below the tree of any group is a link for the "containing" group, to move backward out of the tree. Clicking on any blue link within the tree will take you forward into the tree, deeper down the lagomorpha hole. CategoriesAll |
