Our goal is to understand the relationships of sphaeromatid genera, identify generic and subfamilial groupings and develop phylogenetic hypotheses that can provide a sound basis for future biogeographic, mating-system evolution, ecological, behavioral, and other studies. Our investigation will be guided by morphological and molecular analyses of evolutionary relationships within this family (Crustacea: Isopoda: Sphaeromatidae). ... [Information of the supplier]
The Site includes most verified information for every sphingid species and subspecies recorded from the Eastern Palaearctic and concentrates on the taxonomy, biology, ecology and biogeography of each taxon. For many species there is collated information from Chinese literature sources that are difficult to obtain in the West. The phylogenetic sequence of genera and taxonomy of species follows Kitching & Cadiou (2000) (with the exception of Callambulyx sichangensis, q.v.). Species/subspecies are treated alphabetically within genera. Under each species/subspecies there is the original description and type locality (interpreted as necessary), and all of the following data categories, where known. Data on original descriptions and type localities are given. The Site includes observations and discussion of taxonomic questions pertinent to the taxon. This section is not included for every species. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
This private web site is dedicated to the Sphingidae (hawk moths; Lepidoptera) of the Western Palaearctic. It lists 86 species and subspecies in a systematic order and supplies photos and exhaustive information about the biology and distribution for each species. Some general articles of sphingid biogeography, ecology, morphology and taxonomy are also provided. ... [Editorial staff vifabio]
This web page comprise European spiders. The single descriptions range from photos to detailed statements. Special sections treats the spiders of the Faroe Islands, Greenland and the Azores. Another section concerns the European Pseudoscorpiones. [Editorial staff vifabio]
SpliceDisease is a database that collected and curated experimentally supported data of RNA Splicing mutation and disease. The RNA Splicing mutations include cis-acting mutations that disrupt splicing and trans-acting mutations that affecting RNA-dependent functions that cause disease. Information such as EntrezGeneID, gene genomic sequence, mutation (nucleotide substitutions, deletions and insertions), mutation location within the gene, organism, detailed description of the splicing mutation and references are also given. ...

A comprehensive knowledge of all the factors involved in splicing, both proteins and RNAs, and of their interaction network is crucial for reaching a better understanding of this process and its functions. A large part of relevant information is buried in the literature or collected in various different databases. By hand-curated screenings of literature and databases we retrieved experimentally assessed data on 71 human RNA-binding splicing regulatory proteins and organized them into a database called “SpliceAid-F”. For each splicing factor (SF) the database reports its functional domains and its protein and chemical interactors. Furthermore, we collected experimentally validated RNA-SF interactions, including relevant information on the RNA binding sites such as the genes where these sites lie, their genomic coordinates, the splicing effects, experimental procedures, as well as the corresponding bibliographic references. We also collected information from experiments showing no RNA-SF binding, at least in the assayed conditions. In total, SpliceAid-F contains 4227 interactions, 2622 RNA binding sites and 1170 no-binding sites, including information on binding and no-binding specificity in different cellular contexts. Data collected in SpliceAid-F can provide significant information to explain an observed splicing pattern as well as the effect of mutations in functional regulatory elements. ...

The theme of the meeting is “The Next Generation in Best Practices.” This broad theme is intended to reflect the core aim of SPNHC to codify and disseminate best practices for the development, management, and care of natural history collections and their associated data. A number of workshop opportunities will be featured on June 18 and 19. Those currently in development include care of historic mammalian taxidermy, disaster preparedness, natural history biodiversity informatics, and a directors’ summit on digital data. A variety of interesting and engaging speakers are being lined up for the plenary session on June 20. The goal for the technical sessions on June 21 and 22 is to highlight best practices, new solutions, and the use of technology as it relates to the session themes. ... [Information of the supplier]
Since the Field Museum last hosted the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC) Annual Meeting in 1990, the value and relevance of natural history collections has become considerably clearer. We recognize that SPNHC has become an influential voice on behalf of the specimens and objects that document the history of life on our planet. Our theme for 2019 will be Making the Case for Natural History Collections. We hope to encourage a more outward facing concept that engages the public and explains what we do and why it has importance in local and global communities. ... [Information of the supplier]
The meeting of the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC), International Partner – BHL (Biodiversity Heritage Library) and National Partner – NatSCA (Natural Sciences Collections Association) will take place in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK from the 5th – 10th June 2022. We are planning for the conference to be primarily a face to face meeting. We are also planning a virtual interactive element to the symposia of the conference, as well as offering some on-demand content after the congress. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
Hosted by the California Academy of Sciences, the next meeting of the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC) will be held in San Francisco, California, US, from May 28 to June 2, 2023. [Information of the supplier]
