The Joshua Laerm Mammalogy Collection contains
25,000 specimens including study skins, skeletal material, and alcohol
preserved materials. It was organized in the early 1940s by Eugene P.
Odum and his students. This is one of a select group of mammal collections
accredited (1985) by the American Society of Mammalogists. There are
specimens in the collection that date back to the early 1900's thus
providing an historical view of the mammals of the state. The strength
of the collection is in mammals of the southeastern United States. |
