NOSPINE Approved Links

Some general spineless links...

The University of California at Berkeley Museum of Paleontology Web Page -- This page is outstanding. This is further proof that Rob Guralnick is a god of some sort. The only problem is that there's nothing about MOLLUSCS, despite the fact that I personally know most of the ten malacologists working there. Come on, guys!

The Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole Web Page -- Another general invertebrate-oriented page (mostly marine, obviously)...

Internet Resource Guide for Zoology -- More general invertebrate stuff...

The Invertebrate Biodiversity Home Page -- A page set up for the Intertidal Organisms class at my home institution, UC Santa Cruz. Some good pix of intertidal invertebrates (and other critters) from central California. Check it out -- it'll make Eric feel good!

The Animal Diversity Web -- A site similar the the UCMP site listed above (from the University of Michigan).

A link to the Invertebrate Biology journal -- A good resource for finding out about recent research on a variety of invertebrates.

Brevard Zoo's Cambrian Explosion Exhibit -- Here's an interesting site that will take you on a tour of a Cambrian ocean using 3D-like images.

More specific links for particular groups of invertebrates

Cnidaria

It's the Cnidaria Home Page -- the ultimate (?) site for information about cnidarians (jellyfish, hydras, corals, sea anemones) submitted by our resident cnidariologist, Allison Gong.

Mollusca

My primary interest is cephalopod molluscs (squids, octopuses, etc.), so at this point there's a bit of a bias in these links. Sorry!

Cephalopoda

The Cephalopod Page -- A great page set up by James Wood at Dalhousie to honor cephalopods of all types. Stop in and say "howdy"!

Ocean Planet's In Search of Giant Squid Page -- Lots of good info about the most fearsome invertebrate on Earth (not counting parasitic worms of various types), the giant squid. Find out about the recent Smithsonian expedition to New Zealand to film a giant squid in the wild.

The Unnatural Museum: Giant Squid -- More information about giant squids.

Gastropoda

The Captured Cowrie -- Here's one gastropod link for your perusal...A Web newsletter devoted to those excellent snails, the cowries.

Annelida

Another Can of Worms: Phylum Annelida -- A site devoted to the annelids (segmented worms).

Nematoda

Nematoda -- Information on one of the most speciose of all the animal groups, the nematodes.

Parasites

This is cool. The Parasitology Images List -- Check out some up-close-and-personal photos of everyone's favorite animals -- parasites! Do you have a strong stomach?

Miscellaneous Neat Invertebrate Stuff

Arthropod Origami! -- Invertebrate art! This photos at this site are really neat, but I haven't explored it much.

SHERMAN'S LAGOON Click the icon to go to the Sherman's Lagoon Web Page! I'll soon add some pro-invertebrate S.L. strips -- Jim Toomey loves the NOSPINE concept! Now if we could just get Gillian Anderson, Lou Reed, Helen Hunt, Stephen J. Gould and a few others to endorse NOSPINE's goals...
