Buglife-The Invertebrate Conservation Trust is the only organisation in Europe devoted to the conservation of all invertebrates. The trust pledge itself to saving Britain's rarest little animals, everything from bees to beetles, and spiders to snails. Buglife was registered in December 2000. On the web site presents some conservation projects and campaigns. Furthermore there are sites for young people with activities and general information about invertebrates. Some chosen species were presented as bug of the month with an informative leaf let. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]

The Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (also known as CMS or Bonn Convention) aims to conserve terrestrial, marine and avian migratory species throughout their range. It is an intergovernmental treaty, concluded under the aegis of the United Nations Environment Programme, concerned with the conservation of wildlife and habitats on a global scale. Since the Convention's entry into force, its membership has grown steadily to include 101 (as of 1January 2007) Parties from Africa, Central and South America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. ...

Die Gesellschaft zur Rettung des Störs Acipenser sturio L. e.V. wurde am 01.07.1994 im Senckenberginstitut in Frankfurt am Main gegründet. Sie ist ein Zusammenschluss von Wissenschaftlern, Institutionen/Verbänden und Vertretern der interessierten Öffentlichkeit. Ihr Ziel ist der Wiederaufbau und die nachfolgende Erhaltung der Störbestände in Deutschland und Europa. Sie dient der Koordination und Durchführung von Projekten zum Aufbau von Laichfischbeständen, zur Haltung und Reproduktion von Stören, zur Untersuchung von Habitatverfügbarkeit, zum Verhalten der Störe in ihrer natürlichen Umwelt und zum Einfluss der Fischerei auf die Besatzmaßnahmen. Dies geschieht in Deutschland in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Institut für Gewässerökologie und Binnenfischerei Berlin, dem Institut für Fischerei der Landesforschungsanstalt für Landwirtschaft und Fischerei Mecklenburg - Vorpommern und Fisch und Umwelt Mecklenburg - Vorpommern e.V. Grundlage für diese Arbeiten ist die langfristige Zusammenarbeit im Bereich der Projektfinanzierung und Begleitung der Vorhaben durch das Bundesamt für Naturschutz sowie die Förderung durch das Bundesministerium für Forschung und Technologie und das Ministerium für Verbraucherschutz, Landwirtschaft und Naturschutz Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. ...

BirdLife is the largest organization for ornithology and the protection of birds in Austria and the only one active throughout the entire country. BirdLife Austria protects birds in Austria: through scientific work, which represents the basis for successful protection of nature; with the help of concrete conservation programmes for threatened species and their habitats; and by providing information to the public on current topics relating to the protection of birds. Furthermore: we are involved in protecting the areas in Austria that are most important to birds; and by means of advice and lobbying we help ensure observance of the legal instruments to protect birds. ...

Welcome to FUNCRYPTA, the tardigrade project funded by the BMBF Framework Programme "Biotechnologie - Chancen nutzen und gestalten", "QuantPro - Quantitative Analyse zur Beschreibung dynamischer Prozesse in lebenden Systemen". The scientific objectives of FUNCRYPTA are:(i) to identify genes, enzymes and their products, whose value for stabilizing cells has been documented, on entering, during and after the anhydrobiotic stage in tardigrades, ii) to relate known dynamic cellular procedures during the anhydrobiotic stage in order to understand the background of anhydrobiotic changes, and(iii) to develop mathematical methods to understand and quantify mechanisms, dynamics and driving forces of anhydrobiosis in order to predict changes and to provide a scientific baseline for further investigation and development of products required to stabilize cells. ...

This OnLine laboratory manual features original anatomical descriptions of 112 species for use in invertebrate zoology teaching or research laboratories in North America. The collection was prepared over a period of many years to facilitate and encourage the study of invertebrate animals. It is a smorgasbord of species intended to provide a selection suitable for courses taught in most parts of North America. Many species, or their close relatives, also occur in other parts of the world, especially Europe. Although the chapters are written in laboratory manual format, they can also be used to support research or in other non-teaching situations as introductions to the anatomy of specific invertebrates . Most of these descriptions are based on dissections of invertebrate animals collected in the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Maine, and Oregon beginning in 1980. A few are based on preserved material or commercially prepared slides. The collection is under ongoing revision and new species are added periodically. The collection is sufficiently diverse to support undergraduate or graduate courses at most localities in North America. ... [Information of the supplier]
BUGZ is a user-friendly web interface designed to allow full-text search and retrieval of information from New Zealand’s largest compilation of invertebrate literature – the 'BUGS' bibliography (Ramsay & Crosby 1992). 'BUGZ' contains a literature database of 16,080 articles on the terrestrial invertebrates of New Zealand, published between 1775 and 1993 and provides full-text indexing of the more than 200,000 pages of text scanned from the articles of the BUGS bibliography. This massively enhances the search capabilities and subsequent access to archived information on the taxonomic status, life history, ecology, and conservation significance in the primary literature on New Zealand’s terrestrial invertebrates. Apart from the ability to undertake full-text searching, BUGZ is the first New Zealand biodiversity database to allow dynamic matching of its entire full-text database against the taxonomic namebank of uBio – the universal Biological indexer and organiser. Namebank is a reconciled list of over 8,000,000 taxonomic names (including homonyms, synonyms and common names) and creates a virtual link to an ever-increasing number of international biodiversity databases (e.g. GBIF, NCBI, ITIS, Species 2000) that may contain additional biodiversity information useful to the user. ...
