Here you can view and download thousands of unpublished electron micrographs and associated data. These images have been generated by several labs in the C. elegans community, including the MRC, the Hall lab (Center for C. elegans Anatomy), and the Culotti and Riddle labs. We welcome further contributions of archival image data from other C. elegans labs (see submission). ... [Information of the supplier]
The collection "Classic Illustrated Zoologies and Related Works, 1550-1900" features illustrated books from the 16th century to the early 20th depicting the fish, birds, and animals of the world. It is based on the scholarly bibliography by Miriam Gross that appeared in Biblion: The Bulletin of The New York Public Library in 1994; her introductory text has been adapted for this presentation. Among the riches of The NYPL's Research Libraries is an enormous collection of pre-1920 illustrated zoologies from Europe and the Americas. Not generally well known, these impressive holdings are comparable to those in specialized natural history libraries. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
Iconographia Zoologica is a 19th century collection of zoological prints that was created by bringing together various collections in the library of the Dutch Royal Zoological Society Natura Artis Magistra between 1881 and 1883. The illustrations were systematically sorted according to the Animal Kingdom classification system used at the time ensuring that the state of science within zoology of that time was permanently recorded. The size and structure of Iconographia Zoologica make it immensely valuable to cultural and scientific heritage. In addition to drawings, Iconographia Zoologica has a particularly large number of prints made using a variety of printing techniques and often hand-coloured. They originate from zoological publications dating back to the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Together these prints and drawings constitute a unique paper databank of more than 80,000 illustrations. A selection of approximately 20,000 illustrations of mammals, birds and fish have been included in Memory of the Netherlands. The collection is housed in the Artis Library, part of the Special Collections of the Library of the University of Amsterdam. ... [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]

HOSTS brings together an enormous body of information on what the world's butterfly and moth (Lepidoptera) caterpillars eat. The web-based version presented here offers a synoptic data set drawn from about 180,000 records comprising taxonomically 'cleaned' hostplant data for about 22,000 Lepidoptera species drawn from about 1600 published and manuscript sources. It is not (and cannot be) exhaustive, but it is probably the best and most comprehensive compilation of hostplant data available. ... [Information of the supplier]
The aim of this project has been to compile a comprehensive interactive catalogue of all the published genus-group names of Lepidoptera from Linnaeus, 1758, up to the present, and to provide full-colour images of representatives of most included families. The catalogue comprises a total of 31,147 genus-group names including all available names and all junior homonyms, junior synonyms, unnecessary replacement names, misspellings, incorrect citations, and suppressed, unavailable, invalid or rejected names most of which are given in the following publications (arranged chronologically), hereafter referred to as the source material. ...
