Information about the Authors

For the course, Organismal Biology at the University of Wisconsin- La Crosse, students are required to create an informative website based on an organism of their choice.  The websites created are compiled in to a large database called MultipleOrganisms.net through UW-L.  This particular website was created by  Mary Purdy and Demitra Weisbrod.  We are both currently enrolled in Dr. Greg Sandland and Dr. Meredith Thomsen’s Organismal Biology course.  This website was created in spring of 2014.



My name is Mary Purdy, and I am currently a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin- La Crosse.  I am majoring in Biology with a concentration in Biomedical Science with minors in Chemistry and Spanish.  Aside from the sciences, I am involved in my university’s music department, where I am a member of a vocal jazz group, Voices on Vine, Concert Choir, and Women’s Chorus.  The topic pages I authored were Habitat and Geography and Form and Function.  If you have questions, constructive criticism, or comments about our website, you can email me at purdy.mary@uwlax.edu.
