The Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking (POST) Project is a tool for tracking the movements of marine animals along the west coast of North America, using acoustic transmitters implanted in a variety of species, and a series of receivers running in lines across the continental shelf. POST was one of seventeen projects of the Census of Marine Life, a 10-year international effort to assess the global distribution, diversity and abundance of life in the oceans - past, present and future. The Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking (POST) Project's mission is to further understanding of the behaviour of marine animals through the operation of a large-scale ocean telemetry and data management system. POST serves as an accessible research tool for academe, resource agencies and the public. Long-term monitoring of marine animals will contribute to the conservation and stewardship of marine resources. ... [Information of the supplier]
Welcome to Smithsonian WILD! This site is designed to showcase some of the exciting research conducted by the Smithsonian Institution and its collaborators around the world, and to highlight the incredible diversity of wildlife that exists in a range of habitats across the globe. The use of motion-triggered 'camera traps' has become an incredibly useful tool for scientists to answer an enormous range of conservation and ecological questions. Researchers attach these unique cameras to posts or trees, often along forest trails, and when a camera's sensor registers an animal's body heat and movement, a photograph is taken. The studies highlighted here demonstrate the range of applications of this method, and how these cameras give us a glimpse into an animal world that is rarely seen by anyone. You can search the site by following the trail of interesting animals or the lure of diverse sites around the world. You will notice that the images on this site vary considerably in quality, resolution and color. This is because the researchers involved in these studies have used a range of different camera models. Earlier camera models utilized standard film technology and took single photos when triggered. More recent camera models take digital photos and have the capacity to take many photos at each trigger event. We have included not just the most striking photos from these studies, but all the photographs. We think this will give you a better sense of the diversity of images captured by the cameras. This also allows us to show you 'near-video' sequences, which often display the movements and behavior of the animals. Our hope is that while you are being entertained by the amazing photographs, you will also learn about the animals, their diverse habitats, and what is being done to conserve them. At present we are accepting new photographs and datasets from professional survey efforts. If you have a dataset you think would be appropriate for this site, please contact William McShea. We hope in the future to accept photographs from citizen scientists as well, so keep checking back with the site for relevant updates. ... [Information of the supplier]

On behalf of the Organising Committee we are very pleased to invite you to the 13th FELASA congress entitled: ‘Brussels Revisited’ to be held on 13-16 June 2016 in Brussels, jointly organized with BCLAS (the Belgian Council for Laboratory Animal Science), NVP (the Dutch Society for Laboratory Animal Science) and BV (the Dutch Society for Animal Technology). The venue of the Congress is The Square, at the heart of the cultural centre of the city. Of course, Brussels is also the political centre of the European Union who have decided to innovate the Directive for the protection of animals used for research (2010/63 replacing 86/609). This new Directive aims to create a level playing field in Europe regarding the use of animals. The scale of the new Directive’s innovations reflects high ambitions to further develop and implement 3Rs alternatives (Reduction, Refinement and Replacement) and governance (by greater transparency). As a result, the Congress will also be of great interest to politicians and public bodies across Europe. The FELASA Congress will attract over a thousand scientists and other professionals from all over the world, if only out of curiosity to see how things will develop in Europe, where animal protection is at an unprecedented high level. The programme will cover scientific, societal and practical aspects of a range of topics of interest for those working in this field.The main themes will address the quality and validity of animal research, how animals and humans are at risk from the same health issues, technological advances, animal welfare, harmonization and exchange of best practices i.e. through education and training and ethical evaluation, and how all this is related to public interests. ...

SEB as a society supports science conducted in an ethical and humane manner and our 2016 symposium will promote the 3Rs (Reduction, Replacement, Refinement) in animal biology. This meeting will be dedicated to improving animal welfare, reducing numbers of animals used and replacing animals in experimental procedures in animal behaviour, endocrinology, neurobiology, physiology, toxicology, and other disciplines by focussing on innovations in the 3Rs principles. This symposium will showcase the latest research through two days of invited and submitted presentations by experts and young researchers in the field of 3Rs research. We shall also devote a proportion of this meeting to educating our members on key areas of experimental animal welfare, reducing or replacing animals in experiments, ethics, funding opportunities, engagement with the public and openness in science e.g. The Concordat. This symposium covers all of the interest groups within the Animal Section so has broad appeal and will also be relevant to members of the Cell Section that use cell cultures rather than whole animals. We welcome abstracts from Ph.D. students, early career researchers and academics on the following topics: Reduction – Methods that minimise the numbers of animals used in experiments; Replacement – Methods that avoid or replace the use of animals; Refinement – Methods that minimise suffering and improve animal welfare. ...
