Question ID: 167189
This is not as easy as it might seem at first. Can you find images for
20 of the species listed below? The size of the image is not that
important, but I should be able to see the organism. It must be OK to
use them for educational purposes. Anything from a .edu or .gov is
fine. (If they say that I'll need to contact them, that's OK.) For
example, I found an image of Rattus norvegicus at
http://elib.cs.berkeley.edu/cgi/img_query?special=browse&where-taxon=Rattus%20norvegicus

Apart from CalPhotos, another promising place to look seems to be the
database section of http://www.mbl.edu/inside/what/news/publications/index.html
But, you might find even better sources.


The list below is from http://www.eolproject.info/cgi-bin/genomes.pl

Hi there

Since you asked for 20, here are 40. I'm known for seldom doing what
I'm told.

If you will notice, many of the images come from "Nature Genome
Gateway."  The images found there are from various universities and
other institutions and while the website states that everything is
"freely available," it still might be a good idea to check first.  In
fact, to paraphrase an old football line - When in doubt - check.

1 - Anopheles gambiae - From website of John Randall Clayton research
tech. at European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Heidelberg, Germany -
http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/ExternalInfo/kafatos/Clayton.htm -

Search - Google
Terms - all those words up there

Since you have a lot more than 20 or even 40 creatures you want images
for, if you would like I will do a few more at a time and post them as
"comments." - - - - Even if you wouldn't like, I probably will anyway.
 It is kind of fun.

In the meantime, if you need any clarifications before you rate the
answer, please ask.

Cheers

Dearest digsalot --

You are strange and fabulous.  If you have the time, more images would
be great. If not, that's fine, too. Either way you will get a full set
of stars and lavish praise.

Clarification of Answer by digsalot-ga on 26 Feb 2003 10:54 PST
Most retired archaeologists are strange.  It's our nature.

I'll periodically add more images in the comments section over the
next few days.  I don't know if you are notified when a comment is
made so you may want to keep checking back.

Now as for the fabulous part? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

On the last listing above - it should read - "Salmonella typhi" is the
left hand image instead of Leishmania major.

(sigh)- I guess I'm not fabulous anymore.
