F ounded in 1908 by a gift to the University of California from Miss Annie Montague Alexander, the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology is a center for research on, conservation of, and education in terrestrial vertebrates. Our collections of amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals are among the largest in the United States and our University setting has made the Museum one of the premier centers for the education of undergraduate and graduate students in vertebrate biology throughout our 90-year history. Under the successive leadership of eminent naturalists and evolutionary biologists, starting with Joseph Grinnell, the Museum’s program has focused continually on evolutionary biology from the perspective of ecology, behavior, morphology, population biology, and genetics. B ecause the Museum was founded with the philosophy that organisms should be studied in relationship to their natural environments, the specimen collections are supplemented by extensive field notes, maps, photographs, and correspondence which enhances their value to researchers. The Museum’s collections thus grew as a direct, material manifestation of the activities of its students and staff, academic and nonacademic. Field activities of those associated with the Museum over the decades have extended to the far-flung corners of the globe, but have primarily centered in western North America, Mexico and Central America, western South America, central Asia, and east Africa. The collections reflect this geographic scale.

Amphibians Birds Bird Eggs Mammals Reptiles All View Complete Data Records View Tissue Records Only View Type Specimens Only Access the MVZ's catalogued images. This site provides access to data and images in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology collections. Data are refreshed weekly. We are constantly updating taxonomy and checking specimen identifications and associated information, but outdated names, mistaken identifications, and erroneous localities inevitably occur. We urge investigators to verify all data by direct examination of the specimens, and we appreciate notification of discrepancies. MVZ data records may be used by individual researchers or research groups, but they may not be repackaged, resold, or redistributed in any form without the express written consent of a curatorial staff member of the MVZ. If any of these records are used in an analysis or report, the provenance of the original data must be acknowledged and the MVZ notified. The Museum of Vertebrate Zoology or its staff is not responsible for damages, injury or loss due to the use of these data. Questions and comments about this site should be sent to mvz@elib.cs.berkeley.edu

The MVZ collections http://www.mip.berkeley.edu/mvz/collections/

T he MVZ collections form the core of the Museum’s research, conservation, and education programs. The collections, which number approximately 630,000 specimens, constitute a unique and permanent record of the past and present distributions of many terrestrial vertebrate species. Taxonomic and geographic representation of specimens reflects current and past research interests of the Museum’s faculty, staff, and students. The historic emphasis on collecting series of specimens that serve as the bases for studies in evolution, morphology, behavior, ecology, and population genetics continues to the present. T he Museum also houses a collection of over 40,000 tissue samples for use in molecular analyses. The majority of these were taken in conjunction with voucher specimens which can be referred to for verification of results. C omplementing these collections is an extensive archive of photographs, correspondence, and field notebooks that date to the Museum’s founding in 1908. These materials contain information about specimens and changing environmental conditions, primarily in California and the western United States, that is not recorded on specimen labels or catalog cards.

Saint Leo University Vertebrate Zoology Lab Fall 2001 My name is Dana Groulx and I'm a Biology Major at Saint Leo University I took some pictures to remember the fun I had in lab. Here I am removing a dead kitten fetus from our cat. We named our cat Lucy. The other cats were male. Dr. Schneider asked me to cut out the fetus to show to the other students. I gladly complied. I love dissection lab. I love it a little too much. I scare the other students. Click here for miscellaneous lab photos. Click here for more photos of Lucy. God Bless Us, Every One.

Welcome to the home page of Biology 209 (Vertebrate Zoology) at Old Dominion University. Although the page is designed for students in my course, I think other vertebratophiles () may find some of this material useful and interesting. If you have suggestions for links, please let me know Course documents Earth history Links by taxon ... Organizations Academic success Old Dominion University - Counseling Services offers a number of programs and services, including dealing with time management, test anxiety, and the like. My best advice to students (yes, you really should read it!) is summarized in Dr. Mom's Guide to College. Joe Landsberger at St. Thomas University put together this Guide to classroom success , which covers everything from note taking to studying to classroom participation. An excellent resource! Dartmouth's Academic Skills Center is another great site for ideas on how to improve your academic performance. Earth history To understand vertebrate evolution we must also have at least a basic understanding of how the earth itself has changed over geologic time. And that's easier with pictures to accompany written descriptions. So, to help you acquire a good set of mental images as well as the written material, check out UCMP Web Time Machine from UC Berkeley's Museum of Paleontology provides easy navigation and good background on what was happening at different times during the erath's history.

Vertebrate Zoology is the study of animals with backbones. Research in the department covers fishes amphibians, reptiles birds , and mammals The department holds the largest collection of vertebrate specimens in the world, including historically important collections from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Research in the department provides a solid foundation of understanding for government agencies, conservation organizations, and individuals involved in fish and wildlife management. Zoologists from two other federal agencies work so closely with colleagues and specimens at the Museum that they are permanently stationed in the building. Specialists from the National Marine Fisheries Service of the U.S. Department of Commerce focus primarily on commercially important fishes, while those from the Geological Survey of the U.S. Department of the Interior focus on amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Since 1972, the department has also included the Marine Mammal Program , which focuses on whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals, and sea lions. Working closely with federal, state, and local governments, Museum staff study stranded animals as well as those taken by commercial fisheries. These observations help shed new light on the population sizes, distributions, eating habits, and reproductive patterns of these rare animals. Director: James Mead.
