A. P. Leventis Ornithological Research Institute (APLORI) is a small institute connected to the University of Jos (UNIJOS), Nigeria. The institute aims to educate students in Conservation Biology, and to be a centre of excellence for Ornithology in West Africa. Currently we are giving courses on master’s level in Conservation Biology, and tailored courses for other groups. PhD students from St. Andrews University, UK, are affiliated to the institute, conducting research on various aspects in Conservation Biology, but with a special focus on birds in altered habitats in the savannah zones of Nigeria. ...

Dungeness is a dry shingle beach jutting out into the English Channel at Britain's most south-easterly point. Bird watching, wildlife migration and bio-diversity have been at the centre of casual and professional observations for over a century and the Observatory celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2002. The aim of this site is to promote and share our information and records with all people interested in the natural history of this unique habitat. ... [Information of the supplier]
Im KORA sind Forschungsprojekte zusammengefasst, die sich mit der Ökologie von Raubtieren in der Kulturlandschaft und ihrem Zusammenleben mit den Menschen beschäftigen. Das betrifft vor allem die großen, ehemals ausgerotteten Arten wie Luchs und Wolf. Die Aufgabe des Programms KORA ist, zu aktuellen Problemen im Zusammenhang mit der Erhaltung oder dem Management von Raubtieren die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen für umsetzbare Lösungen zu erarbeiten. ...

The EUropean ROe DEER Information System (EURODEER) is an open project to support a collaborative process of data sharing to produce better science. It is based on a spatial database that store shared movement data on roe deer to investigate variation in roe deer behavioural ecology along environmental gradients or population responses to specific conditions, such as habitat changes, impact of human activities, different hunting regimes. EURODEER group is trying to fully explore the opportunities given by the new monitoring technologies for conservation and management at both local and global scale. The spatial database, built upon open source software (PostgreSQL + PostGIS) and hosted at Edmund Mach Foundation, can be connected to a large set of client applications (GIS, web interfaces, statistics) to help storing, managing, accessing and analysing GPS data from several research groups throughout Europe. At present 19 research groups join EURODEER. The database is static and temporary, but the perspective is to turn it into a permanently structured and dynamically updatable data repository of a long term project. ...

Movebank is funded by the public (NSF/USA, Max Planck/Germany) as a free-for-all global museum for animal movement data, which are a legacy of humankind. a) Movebank acquires new data in real-time by linking data streams coming from satellites, cellphone networks, or other local area networks. b) Existing (legacy) animal data are uploaded to the centralized Movebank database. c) Users who prefer to host their own data can link to Movebank resources through a distributed system. d) Users interact with data through a customizable 'cyberdashboard' with online calculators for spatial analyses, animal density estimation and other statistical tools. Animal-trackers and camera-trappers have exclusive access to their data and the option to make them "open access" to share with professionals and students, with appropriate credit. Scientists will be able to interact with their data in realtime, and make instant comparisons with legacy data from other studies. Theoreticians can mine animal movement and distribution data to test ideas related to ecological patterns, evolutionary processes, and disease spread. Conservation managers can use Movebank to show population changes over time and space. Educators will find a wealth of examples to illustrate biological principals and let students ask and answer their own questions about wild animals. ... [Information of the supplier]
