This site contains a collection of miscellaneous information, some of it links to University of Connecticut resources that I use frequently, some of it to that I'm working on (warning, there's not much available on-line yet), and course syllabi. Most of the links are ones I've found useful or interesting over the last few years that I've tried to organize into categories. I make no claim that the listing is either complete or well-organized, but I'm always willing to consider suggestions for addition or improvement. If you'd like to explore my collection of links to other resources, the page that started it all is Web Resources in Conservation and Biodiversity.
