Jäger informieren mit ihrer Initiative LERNORT NATUR über Wildtiere, Pflanzen, nachhaltige Nutzung und Maßnahmen zum Naturschutz. Als anerkannter Naturschutzverband, dessen Mitglieder die LERNORT NATUR-Aktionen ehrenamtlich durchführen, will der DJV so einen Beitrag dazu leisten, die Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Natur wieder zu ihrem Ursprung zurückzuführen. Kinder und Jugendliche sollen die Dinge in der Natur lieben lernen, damit sie sich dann für deren Schutz auch aktiv einsetzen. Mit wildtiere-live.de kommt nun eine neue Dimension der Information hinzu. Dank der Live-Videokamera des Deutschen Jagdschutz-Verbandes können Sie nun jederzeit fast hautnah dabei sein, sehen und hören, was in der Natur passiert. ... [Information des Anbieters, verändert]
Tagging of Pacific Predators began in 2000 as one of 17 projects of the Census of Marine Life, an ambitious 10-year, 80-nation endeavor to assess and explain the diversity and abundance of life in the oceans, and where that life has lived, is living, and will live. Several dozen TOPP researchers from eight countries began venturing into offshore waters, remote islands, and along rugged coastlines to attach satellite tags to 22 different species of top predators that roam the Pacific Ocean. As of 2007, they have tagged more than 2,000 animals, including elephant seals, white sharks, leatherback turtles, squid, albatross and sooty shearwaters. ... [Information of the supplier]
Created for scientists, by scientists, SciVee moves science beyond the printed word and lecture theater taking advantage of the internet as a communication medium where scientists young and old have a place and a voice. SciVee is operated in partnership with the Public Library of Science (PLoS), the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC). Please see our Partners page to learn more about them. SciVee allows scientists to communicate their work as a multimedia presentation incorporated with the content of their published article. Other scientists can freely view uploaded presentations and engage in virtual discussions with the author and other viewers. SciVee also facilitates the creation of communities around specific articles and keywords. Use this medium to meet peers and future collaborators that share your particular research interests. ...

Originally launched in 2001 and updated in 2007, the PBS Evolution Web site is intended to serve as a comprehensive learning resource about evolutionary science for teachers, students and the general public. The site was originally developed in conjunction with an eight-hour television series co-produced by the NOVA Science Unit at WGBH Boston and Clear Blue Sky Productions (now Vulcan Productions). It is designed to function both as a free stand-alone resource and as a companion to the full-length video programs, which are no longer being broadcast on PBS but are available on DVD. The site has four major components: 7 main topic areas that align closely with the seven programs in the video series. A searchable multimedia library with assets organized along lines that correspond with curriculum topics often taught in high school biology. This collection includes assets from other sources as well as from this site. Professional development resources to help science educators develop effective, yet sensitive ways to teach these topics amid the intense debate about the validity of evolutionary theory. Seven short videos designed expressly to stimulate informed discussion in the classroom. ... [Information of the supplier]
A long-standing goal of biology is to map the behavior of all cells during vertebrate embryogenesis. We developed digital scanned laser light sheet fluorescence microscopy and recorded nuclei localization and movement in entire wild-type and mutant zebrafish embryos over the first 24 hours of development. Multiview in vivo imaging at 1.5 billion voxels per minute provides "digital embryos," that is, comprehensive databases of cell positions, divisions, and migratory tracks. ...

In 1997, parasitologists at the Universities of Alberta and Calgary decided to offer a joint undergraduate course on the Principles of Parasitism, with lectures given by live videoconference. It was decided to forego the traditional "sit-down-at-a-microscope" laboratory in favor of a lab that was completely web-based. This web site evolved as part of that project. Over the years we have had numerous requests from around the world for access to the web lab. As the site has evolved, it has become necessary to password-protect parts of the site that deal with our teaching function. We have decided to extract the basic laboratory component of the site and make it freely-accessible. The result is this site you are now viewing. ... [Information of the supplier]
The year 2009 is the 150th anniversary of the publication of "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" and the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth. This web site was created to celebrate these events and provide the general public, students and teachers with entertaining explorations of life’s origin and evolution. A general audience will find here an entertaining exploration (videos and animations) and teachers a rich source of documents (films, simulations and teaching materials) to plan innovative and exciting lessons. All documents are free, and the associated licence (see terms of use) simplifies their use for educational purposes. ... [Information of the supplier]
The aim of this web site about the evolution of man is to provide easy-to-read introductions and videos (in German language), in order to present some of the fascinatings aspects of paleoanthropology. [Editorial staff vifabio]
