Neogene Marine Biota of Tropical America (NMITA) is an online biotic database containing images and data for taxa used in analyses of Tropical American biodiversity over the past 25 million years. The NMITA WWW Site contains images and information on taxa collected as part of two large multi-taxa fossil sampling programs: (1) the Panama Paleontology Project (PPP) coordinated by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama; (2) the Neogene Paleontology of the northern Dominican Republic (DR) project coordinated by the Natural History Museum in Basel, Switzerland. NMITA is designed for use in research and education in systematics and evolutionary paleontology. Partial information is currently available for bryozoans, corals (zooxanthellate and azooxanthellate), molluscs (gastropods and bivalves), ostracodes, and fish. ...

Corallines are a highly complicated group. The identification of fossil coralline algae bears several problems and the intraspecific variability is very high. Their distribution is very wide spread: Corallines occur from the tropics to polar regions, and from the intertidal down to more than 200 m water depth. The current homepage aims to make this algal group more popular. After an introduction, different growth forms in fossil and present-day corallines are demonstrated. One of the main topics is a comprehensive comparison of fossil and present-day taxonomical features. Moreover, descriptions of corallines from Austria, Italy and the Northern Red Sea are presented. Finally, you can find a list of the described taxa. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
Subfossil remains of midge larvae (Nematocera: Chironomidae, Ceratopogonidae & Chaoboridae) in sediments of freshwater lakes are being increasingly valued as indicators of limnological and climatic changes. This private web site supplies an identification guide to the larvae of Chironomidae (non-biting midges) combined with a lot of images of the head capsules. ...

The Laboratory of Arthropods, Palaeontological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences is dedicated to research on to fossil insects (Palaeoentomology). Fossil insect studies in Russia started just before the establishment of the Palaeontological Institute. They were initiated by a renowned entomologist A.V. Martynov (1879-1938), who became a founder of the Laboratory of Entomology in this Institute. During the years of its existence, the Laboratory of Arthropods accumulated the most extensive collection of fossil insects and arachnids comprising approximately 200,000 specimens and being one of the best collections in the World. ...

The Cnidaria, especially the Anthrozoa, are among the most important reef builders. There life cycle (metagenesis) and morphology (two tissue layers) differs significantly for other animals. This web page provides an insight into the biology and ecology of the cnidaria, and their subtaxa. [Editorial staff vifabio]
PRI's Database currently encompases the Type and Figured Specimen collection, which is the tenth largest of its kind in the country (USA). The collections data entry and the development of this database were supported by an individual donor and the National Science Foundation through their Biological Research Collections program (DBI 0447298). ...

This website tries to summarize what we know about these first ten million years of the age of mammals. The Paleocene is a crucial time in the history mammals. Unfortunately, mammal fossils from this epoch are either scarce or entirely unknown in many parts of the world. Thus we can only speculate how the fauna of whole continents looked after the extinction of dinosaurs. Even where fossils occur, most species are only known from their characteristic teeth, and skeletons are only known for a few forms. Nevertheless, knowledge of Paleocene mammals is steadily increasing. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Annual Meeting 2013 of the Paläontologische Gesellschaft will be held together with the Palaeontological Society of China. The meeting takes place from September 23rd to 27th at the Faculty of Geosciences and Geography at the Georg-August University Göttingen. The topic of the meeting is: Palaeobiology and Geobiology of Fossil Lagerstätten through Earth History. The Paläontologische Gesellschaft is very happy that this meeting could be organised together with Chinese colleagues. We expect many guests from China, and accordingly the offical language of the meeting will be English. ... [Information of the supplier]

EJIP (Encuentro de Jóvenes Investigadores en Paleontología, Treffen der Jungen Forscher der Paläontologie) ist eine jährliche Konferenz, die von und für junge Wissenschaftler aus verschiedenen Bereichen der Paläontologie veranstaltet wird. Dieser Kongress hat inzwischen das zehnjährige Bestehen überschritten und hat sich zu einem Treffen mit großem Umfang zwischen jungen Paläontologen hauptsächlich aus Spanien und Portugal entwickelt, aber auch aus anderen europäischen Ländern, wie Italien oder Frankreich sowie Ländern außerhalb von Europa wie beispielsweise Mexiko, Brasilien oder Marokko. Junge Wissenschaftler sind sich bewusst, dass Wissenschaft nicht individualistisch vorangetrieben werden kann und diese Art von Veranstaltungen erlauben den konstanten Austausch von Ideen und Informationen. EJIP fördert die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Forschern und Institutionen mit dem Ziel, Synergien zu vereinen, um das komplette Potential der jeweiligen Forschung zu entfalten. Im Jahr 2015 findet das 13. Treffen der EJIP in Cercedilla (Madrid) statt. ... [Information des Anbieters, übersetzt und verändert]
