RERO DOC is the digital library of RERO, the Library Network of Western Switzerland. It has been created to promote, preserve and provide public access to the scholarly literature produced be the institutions participating to the project (electronic theses, dissertations and e-prints) as well as to the digitalized collections of RERO libraries. In the framework of the Open Access initiative it provides a platform for researchers in member universities to self-archive their publications. ... [Information of the supplier]

Worldwide, thousands of animal and plant species are threatened with extinction. Even in Switzerland more than 3000 animals and plants appear in the so-called Red List of threatened species. Without appropriate protection measures many of these species may soon vanish forever. This website serves to demonstrate the dramatic situation of species threat, and to present the threatened species. At the same time, the political responsibilities are stressed ─ both of the Republic, the Cantons, and the Communes, but also of every individual. Finally, information about active, and planned, protective action for the benefit of threatened species will be found here. The overall objective of this website is to awaken the broadest possible public interest and understanding for the concerns of species protection. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
Applications of conservation genetics, both in science and practice, are ever increasing. The ongoing revolution in molecular methodology opens up new possibilities for conservation genetic research. At the same time, conservation management is increasingly using genetic approaches for various practical applications, such as diagnosis, population size estimation, mating patterns and inbreeding, gene flow, fragmentation, connectivity, hybridization, adaptation and genetic monitoring. While in English-speaking countries several recurrent meetings exist that allow researchers and managers to exchange results and discuss new ideas on conservation genetics, no such platform exists in Central Europe. The aim of the Annual Meetings in Conservation Genetics is thus to bring together scientists and managers from Central Europe (mainly Germany, Austria and Switzerland) working on conservation genetics. We invite all scientists, postdocs, PhD students, Master students and, especially, conservation practitioners interested in conservation genetics to attend and contribute to the 1st Annual Meeting in Conservation Genetics taking place in Birmensdorf / Zürich, Switzerland. In the following years, the annual meeting will be hosted by different institutions in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Conference objectives: (1) Inform researchers and managers on exciting conservation genetic research and emerging new developments, with a focus on Central Europe, (2) Provide a platform for personal exchange for scientists, students and managers interested in conservation genetics (including an extended poster session), (3) Establish a network for researchers in conservation genetics in Central Europe, (4) Present keynotes given by prominent scientists from within the European conservation genetic community. ...

Distribution of all species: Distribution maps of more than 2600 plant species are available as GIF images. The plant names to select are in Latin, German, French and Italian. Additionally, Red List data and Landolt's indicator values are displayed. Distribution of rarest species: 132 distribution maps of very rare plants taken from the publication 'Merkblätter Artenschutz: Blütenpflanzen und Farne' (1999. Käsermann C. und Moser D.M.). Mapping areas: The distribution maps are based on an inventory conducted in 1967-79, for which information on species occurrences in 593 contiguous mapping areas was collected nationwide. Species richness: Information on regional diversity such as absolute number of species, simulated number of species, number of neophytes etc. The information comes in the form of commented maps.(German and italian only). ...

Seit 1984 werden in der Schweiz die Moose im Rahmen des Projektes "Nationales Inventar der Schweizer Moosflora" kartiert. Die schweizerische Vereinigung für Bryologie und Lichenologie (BRYOLICH) übernimmt die Trägerschaft. Eine Kartierkommission berät die Projektleitung in wichtigen Fragen.Das Hauptziel ist ein Atlas mit Rasterkarten auf naturräumlicher Basis von allen sicher unterscheidbaren Moos-Sippen der Schweiz. Das erste Nahziel war eine Rote Liste. Die erste Fassung wurde 1992 publiziert (Urmi et al. 1992), eine vollständig revidierte Fassung folgte 2004 (Schnyder et al. 2004). Einige Verbreitungskarten sind in diversen Publikationen veröffentlicht worden. Daneben wurde ein provisorischer Verbreitungsatlas zuhanden der Kartierer angefertigt, damit Verbreitungslücken und Fehler erkannt werden können. Für seltene Moosarten wurde ein Artenschutzkonzept erarbeitet (Urmi et al. 1996). ... [Information des Anbieters]
Das Internetportal des nationalen Daten- und Informationszentrums zur Schweizer Flora eröffnet Ihnen gegenüber der bisherigen Webseite neue Möglichkeiten. Hier einige Highlights: Sie können ihre Beobachtungen neu auch über unser Online-Feldbuch melden. Sie erhalten ein eigenes Konto und können so jederzeit Ihre gemeldeten Daten einsehen und bearbeiten. Die Angaben zu den Pflanzenarten wurden ausgebaut. Neben dem bisherigen Verbreitungsatlas stehen Ihnen nun auch sämtliche Artbeschreibungen aus der Flora Helvetica zur Verfügung. Neben Arten können nun auch Lebensräume nach der Klassifikation von Delarze & Gonseth ("Lebensräume der Schweiz") abgefragt werden. Neben den Merkblättern Artenschutz, finden Sie auch Infoblätter zu den invasiven Neophyten der Schwarzen Liste und Watch-Liste. Für aktive Artenschützer spannend: Sie können nachschlagen, in welchen Kantonen zu welchen Arten Aktionspläne existieren oder Massnahmen am Laufen sind. ... [Information des Anbieters]
The aim of Thomas Goetz's Excursion Flora of the Alps and Adjacent Regions is to provide a comprehensive aid to the identification of vascular plants in the Alps in the form of dichotomous keys. In an ongoing project, the author so far treated about 75 percent of all families in a text file which is available for download. ... [Editorial staff vifabio]
