Zombie Animals and the parasites that control them
This is an interesting look at the effects of parasites on the mind of different organisms. This is by Discover Magazine. Many other science image galleries and information to look at as well. Judith, another amazing CSUEB librarian, alerted me to this resource. Thanks!

Freshwater Ecoregions of the World
A joint project by the World Wildlife Foundation and The Nature Conservancy, this site has an interactive map of freshwater regions throughout the world. Lots of information, graphs and references for finding further information. Also discusses threats to these ecoregions.

NOAA
Just highlighting one of those perennially great resources: NOAA’s Research website. Links to information about all of their research projects. Also has an RSS feed for NOAA podcasts.

Immunobiology Interactive
The company blink has made available a free version of their animated modules on immunobiology. One word of caution though, it does not appear that these modules are fully accessible so take care if you assign them for class. They will need to be close-captioned.

The Complete Works of Charles Darwin Online
This resource is not particularly new, but if you haven’t seen it you really should check it out. Scans of his actual manuscripts and other works. Works are also transcribed. Great, high quality images. A wonderful resource.
