Who, What, Why?
Muroidea.com started out on 10 January 2008 as a side project for an undergraduate student based in NJ. Primarily
interested in wild faunal remains in the archaeological record, the site was intended to keep notes on murid species
encountered throughout her various research projects. The site continues to be maintained by the lone student.
Here, you will find common knowledge information available on other sites, although all in a central location; Links to
other sources readily available. This is a non-profit site (no advertisments, no store, etc). I make no money off of this-
and I actually pay for the domain name and web space. Please don't sue me. All pictures and information have direct links
back to where it has been obtained.
Why? Like any student of the sciences I enjoy what I do. I hope to
share my knowledge with anyone interested.
Code testing

Right now I'm still working on the new layout. The test-run Species list is now available. It's a collapsible tree so you dont have to scroll for an hour to search for a specific species. Try it out. Let me know if it works.

Back from a long haietus
28 December 2008
A word to the wise- when embarking on a data-heavy website it is wise to think about what features will be fundamental
to said website. Otherwise you will endup like me, rewriting countless lines of code in the hopes of salvaging hard work.
Sometimes it's far better to start over, learning from your mistakes. That being said, I sincerly hope you like
"what I've done with the place".
