Die SVSN ist eine Gesellschaft, die sich mit der Förderung und der Verbreitung der Naturwissenschaften und der exakten Wissenschaften befasst. Außerdem beschäftigt sich die Gesellschaft mit dem interdisziplinären Dialog zwischen den Wissenschaftlern und der Öffentlichkeit im Kanton und lädt sowohl die akademischen als auch die privaten Forscher ein, an dieser Arbeit mitzuwirken. Die Gesellschaft bietet Exkursionen und Vorträge an. Des weiteren werden Forscher und Studierende eingeladen, hier ihre Arbeiten zu veröffentlichen. ... [Information des Anbieters, übersetzt]
The GfÖ is an independent, nonprofit scientific organisation founded in 1970. We aim to promote basic and applied ecological science, encourage collaborative work of all ecological disciplines and represent ecological interests in public. [Information of the supplier, modified]
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. ...
