The mammal collection has ~12,000 specimens preserved as study skins, skulls, skeletons, and fluid preprations. The vast majority of the specimens are regional, with a focus on rodents of Southern California, Utah, and northwestern Mexico. The collection includes vouchers from systematic and parasitological studies of CSULB faculty. A separately housed teaching collection is used for Vertebrate Zoology, Mammalogy, and Introductory Biology classes.
Please contact the collections manager with any requests for specimen data, loans, or destructive sampling.
University and local educational groups can schedule visits to the teaching laboratory to learn about the diversity of species. Please contact the collections manager for more information.
