Mammalian Resources

I created this blog to keep a hold on the ever-increasing mammalogical information stream. The recent literature digest is from RSS feeds of ca. 140 journals that I have followed throughout the years; I try to update it daily. I am also gathering pivotal books and papers on Mammalogy that are freely available online. Finally, a list of Mammalogy sites, events and other information related to Mammals are also included (as well as any other relevant information and illustrations on the history of Mammalogy).

Any help or input is welcome. Please contact me at marcelo [dot] weksler [at] gmail [dot] com.
