"Early Classics in Biogeography, Distribution, and Diversity Studies: To 1950" is a bibliography and full-text archive designed as a service to advanced students and researchers engaged in work in biogeography, biodiversity, history of science, and related studies. All items in the bibliography are primary sources and were published in 1950 or before. The subjects involved touch on fields ranging from ecology, conservation, systematics and physical geography, to evolutionary biology, cultural biogeography, paleobiology, and bioclimatology--but have in common a relevance to the study of geographical distribution and diversity. ...

There are approximately 17,000 terrestrial, 500 freshwater, and 5,500 marine species of plants and animals in Hawai‘i. Bishop Museum, which has the world’s largest biological collections for Hawai‘i (about 4 million specimens) is conducting field surveys to document the distribution of these organisms and is organizing information from its collections and the associated scientific literature into comprehensive computerized databases. This information will be used to assist natural resource agencies in the proper management of Hawaii’s precious and rich biota for years to come. ... [Information of the supplier]

The Boreal Songbird Network is a network of conservation and birding groups including the American Bird Conservancy, National Wildlife Federation, Ducks Unlimited, Natural Resource Defense Council, National Audubon Society, Defenders of Wildlife, and others interested in raising awareness in the U.S. and Canada about the importance of the Boreal Forest to North American migratory birds. This network works to educate and activate about the Boreal. Keeping the Boreal Forest message alive in the U.S. and making our voices heard in Canada will have global environmental implications. ...

Biodiversity Explorer is devoted to showing and explaining the diversity, biology and interactions of life on earth, particularly the life we have here in southern Africa (south of the Kuneni and Zambezi rivers). Our approach is to start with familiar organisms that we see or experience around us but which we know little about, and use them as a springboard to examining more unfamiliar topics. There is a huge body of scientific research that underpins our understanding of life on earth and the goal of Biodiversity Explorer is to draw on this research and present it in an understandable and integrated way. Biodiversity Explorer was first launched on 18 May 2000 (International Museums Day) and has been steadily growing in content and profile since then. We started with insects and spiders and are now expanding to other groups such as plants and vertebrates. ... [Information of the supplier]
Das Integrierte Fuchsprojekt IFP wurde 1995 ins Leben gerufen; ein interdisziplinäres Forschungs- und Kommunikationsprojekt zur Dynamik der Fuchsbestände in der Schweiz. Anlass zum Projekt gaben die stark ansteigenden Fuchspopulationen in der Schweiz und vielen anderen europäischen Ländern. Diese Zunahme war markant in ländlichen Gebieten, besonders ausgeprägt jedoch in Städten wie Zürich, Berlin, Brüssel oder Paris. Im Rahmen des Projektes wurde das Leben der Stadtzürcher Füchse erforscht. Mit Hilfe der Radiotelemetrie wurden die nächtlichen Wege von 22 erwachsenen Füchsen aufgezeichnet und ihre Tagesruheplätze ausfindig gemacht. Diese Beobachtungen gaben Aufschluss darüber, wo Stadtfüchse die Nacht und den Tag verbringen, was sie fressen, wo sie ihre Jungen zur Welt bringen und wie sie sich im Lebensraum Stadt zurechtfinden. ...

Die FLAGH (Faunistische Landesarbeitsgemeinschaft Hessen) ist ein Zusammenschluß von faunistischen Arbeitsgemeinschaften in Hessen. In diesen sind ehrenamtliche Faunisten tätig. Sie stehen in enger Verbindung zu Faunisten in Behörden, Planungsbüros und an Universitäten und Forschungseinrichtungen. Zentrales Ziel der FLAGH ist die biologisch-ökologische Landeserforschung (Biodiversitätsforschung). Zur Erfüllung dieses Ziels sind unter anderem vorgesehen: Durchführung von Veranstaltungen und Exkursionen, Aufbau eines Beifangnetzwerks, Auswertungen von Gutachten/Grauer Literatur, Verwaltung erhobener Daten in einer einheitlichen EDV-Datenbank, Vereinfachung von behördlichen Ausnahmegenehmigungen. ...

Built on the fundamental work "Die Schmetterlinge Baden-Württembergs" (ed. G. Ebert), interactive, current, sightings maps for all 1167 large butterfly species indigenous to Baden Württemberg, as well as reports of some small butterfly species, are shown on this internet site. After displaying the sighting map for a butterfly species, particular details can be accessed for each record. The data for butterflies in Baden-Württemberg were, and are, obtained by voluntary co-workers. They deserve special thanks, since without them the overview of our butterfly fauna would not have been possible. All data are collected in the central state databank for butterflies in the State Museum for Natural History, Karlsruhe (SMNK). There, historical evidence and current reports are united. The butterfly section of the department of entomology looks after the database. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
