Das aus einer Kooperation der italienischen Herbarien in Perugia, Camerino und Siena hervorgegangene Projekt "anArchive for Botanical Data" verwendet Open Source-Software und verfolgt den Zweck, Institutionen und Einzelpersonen (sowohl professionelle Botaniker als auch Amateure) in die Lage zu versetzen, botanische Daten im Web oder auf einem lokalen Netzwerk zu archivieren, zu recherchieren und zu publizieren. Für Arten der italienischen Flora können verschiedene Daten abgerufen werden; der Leihverkehr von Herbarien kann verwaltet werden. ... [Information des Anbieters, übersetzt und verändert]
Die Digitale Bibliothek des Botanischen Gartens Neapel bietet Zugang die digitalisierten Versionen von historischen Pflanzen- und Samenkatalogen des eigenen Gartens und einiger anderer Gärten, sowie zu (bisher wenigen) botanischen Monographien aus dem 19. Jahrhundert, bspw. Tenores "Flora Napolitana". [Redaktion vifabio]
Biodiversity Informatics Horizons 2013 (BIH2013) is part of a continuing process that helps to structure and organise the biodiversity informatics community at the European level and beyond. BIH2013 will take place over 3 full days, from lunchtime on Tuesday 3rd September to lunchtime Friday 6th. The venue will be in Rome (awaiting final confirmation). There have been many successful projects in biodiversity informatics, both at national and supranational level. In Europe this trend has grown under Framework Programmes 5, 6 and 7 and is expected to continue in Horizon 2020. Similar activities have occurred outside Europe, and efforts in biodiversity informatics are increasingly internationally coordinated on the global stage. To respond to the challenges and priorities of the next decade in biodiversity and ecosystems research, structuring bottom-up and top-down interactions on informatics and cooperating across the community is now an essential activity. Cooperation avoids unnecessary duplication of activity. It helps to maximise and focus effort on building the information resources, tools and infrastructure the scientists and policymakers need. We all know the importance of this as we face environmental, societal and human health challenges on global scale. Science in support of policy to mitigate biodiversity loss due to climate and other man-made changes, to assure food security, and to combat invasive species (to give just a few examples) can only be achieved by full integration of the biodiversity research community through a commonly-shared, sustainable e-infrastructure across all sub-disciplines that reliably serves science and society alike. Hence, the need to coordinate. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
Phagocytes—of which the macrophage is the prototypical cell but which also include a variety of other cell types such as microglia, dendritic cells, fibroblasts, and osteoclasts—play a broad role in host homeostasis in addition to host defense. Their roles include underappreciated functions in development and aging, tissue remodeling during morphogenesis, repair, and malignancy. 2016 marks the centenary of the death of Elie Metchnikoff, the Russian scientist who first discovered phagocytes. This centenary coincides with a surge of new molecular and cellular information about phagocytes that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries. This renewed interest in phagocytes provides an ideal starting point for a meeting of cell biologists, immunologists, and developmental biologists interested in further exploring the phagocyte’s fundamental role in tissue biology, identifying gaps in our current knowledge, and defining disease pathways, beginning with infection and inflammation and extending beyond. The projected program will provide an in-depth analysis of a wide range of topics not covered in any meeting hitherto or planned for the coming years. ... [Information of the supplier]
Diese Webseite liefert einige Information zu den Chrysomelidae. Speziell befasst sich diese Seite mit der italienischen Fauna und afrikanischen Arten. Neben einer weltweit relevanten Literaturliste finden sich eine Liste der italienischen Arten und eine Datenbank afrikanischer Eumolpinae. [Redaktion vifabio]
On behalf of the Società Entomologica Italiana and of the Accademia Nazionale Italiana di Entomologia, we are delighted to invite you to attend the XI European Congress of Entomology in Naples. Entomology has a long-standing and consolidated tradition in Italy. Our national scientific community is honoured for this exciting opportunity to celebrate Entomology in Europe. We hope that our enthusiasm would be largely shared, even beyond the EU borders, and would result in a global success of our Scientific Community. ... [Information des Anbieters]
The genus Fusarium comprises many plant-pathogenic species, causing diseases in most agriculturally important crops, and also can be harmful for humans and animals since many of species produce biologically active secondary metabolites (e.g., phytotoxins and mycotoxins) with an extraordinary chemical diversity. The economic importance of Fusarium species is high, due to both their impact on crop yields and the accumulation of mycotoxins in the colonized crops, which can make food commodities unacceptable for marketing or consumption. Research on Fusarium, carried out globally, concentrates the efforts of thousands of scientists and experts of different fields: mycology, plant pathology, genetics, agronomy, ecology, chemistry, biochemistry, and toxicology. There is a need to integrate different disciplines to provide solutions to the problems caused by Fusarium species that still, in spite of the enormous efforts of the scientific community, are far from solved. Effect of climatic changes on Fusarium and his host interactions, new active biological control agents, detection, genetic diversity in crops, development of new resistance to fungicides, changes in Fusarium populations, the need to reduce Fusarium mycotoxins in food and feed and ensure a plentiful, safe food supply: all are examples of challenges for those of us dealing with these complicated fungi. Scientists, breeders, industry representatives, and policy makers who are engaged in the issues related to Fusarium and the reduction of mycotoxin levels are invited to EFS13. This important Fusarium Seminar will provide a vital forum for European and International colleagues to appreciate the current state of the art in Fusarium research during oral presentation sessions led by prominent specialists in their field. The meeting will also provide an essential opportunity for discussion of solutions to today’s and tomorrow’s challenges. ... [Information of the supplier]

The 29th Congress of the European Vegetation Survey was set to be hold this year at the Botanic Garden of Rome. Unfortunately, due to high uncertainties with the development of the pandemic, we have decided to postpone the face-to-face Congress to 2022. However, to maintain the professional ties and friendship in the EVS community, we decided to organize a virtual conference instead. ... [Information of the supplier]
