All these links are the property of their owners and authors, etc, and apart from those signed by me they aren't mine, so don't blame me for any errors and whatnot. Caveat lector. If you fail biology 101 because of these links, tough. Mostly, though, these are pretty good sites, often written by experts. Thanks to Prof Charles Urbanowicz for a number of these links.
