The Linnean herbarium at the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm comprises some 4000 herbarium specimens, several of which are types formally designated by various experts. The specimens were once distributed by Linnaeus to his disciples and eventually they became part of the collections of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, subsequently the Swedish Museum of Natural History. Linnaeus' main collections are today housed at the The Linnean Society of London. So far, this material has only been available to visiting scientists, and as small black and white microfiche photographs. Images of a number of specimens from the Linnean herbarium in Stockholm are now presented on the museum web-server. It is our ambition that the presentation will eventually include images of all the sheets in this Linnean collection. ... [Information of the supplier]

The European Society for Mathematical and Theoretical Biology should find itself well at home in Gothenburg, and so we are sure will you. Let us hope for good summer weather, so that you can stroll along the Avenue or Dutch canals or in the old wooden parts of town (when you are not at lectures) and also allow yourself a trip out into the archipelago and study the seals and snails.

The North European and Baltic Network on Invasive Alien Species (NOBANIS) has developped a network of common databases on alien and invasive species of the region. By establishing a common portal access to IAS-related data, information and knowledge in the region is facilitated. NOBANIS is a network for cooperation between competent authorities of the region and contributes to implementing recommendations from CBD’s COP6. One of the goals of NOBANIS is to provide administrative tools for making the precautionary approach operational in preventing the unintentional dispersal of invasive alien species. Furthermore, NOBANIS establishes a regional cooperation to aid countries in eradication, control and mitigation of ecological effects of invasive alien species. ... [Information of the supplier]
This private web site is dedicated to the butterflies (Lepidoptera) of Norway. The butterfly fauna of Norway is quite unique. Norway's geographical location on the Atlantic side of the Scandinavian Peninsula has isolated many species from their continental habitats. Also the country's topography with the numerous mountains and valleys has made many species develop interesting endemic subspecies. 100 species have been recorded from Norway, 94 of this species considered to be true residents of the country. All Norwegian species are ordered in a systematic way and imaged, as well as most described subspecies. To each species information about the Norwegian name, the original description, worldwide distribution and Norwegian records are supplied. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
