The Invasive Species Centre is hosting the 18th International Conference on Aquatic Invasive Species that will be held in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, April 21-25, 2013. This conference series is widely considered the most comprehensive international forum on aquatic invasive species and continues to evolve to address new and emerging issues. Sessions and presentations include the review of accumulated scientific knowledge; presentation of the latest field research; introduction of new technological developments for prevention, monitoring and control; discussion of policy and legislation; and mechanisms to raise awareness with the general public through education and outreach initiatives. In recent years the conference has typically involved over 400 participants from over 30 countries, representing academia, industry, government agencies, NGOs and other stakeholders involved in the issues. Many are seeking opportunities for international cooperation and collaboration to address AIS issues from a global perspective. ... [Information of the supplier]
Das Langzeitziel des Projekts SeaLifeBase ist die Schaffung und Aufrechterhaltung eines FishBase-ähnlichen Informationssystems für alle aquatisch lebenden Organismen (marin und Süßwasser, ca 400.000 spp.). In der aktuellen Projektphase sind die marinen Organismen das Ziel (ca. 240.000 spp). Es geht nicht darum, noch eine weitere Arten-Referenzliste anzubieten, sondern vielmehr darum, für jede aufgenommene Art die biologischen Informationen, welche für die Durchführung von Biodiversitäts- und Ökosystemuntersuchungen nötig sind, unter Verwendung von bereits auf Papier und elektronisch verfügbaren Artlisten, und unter Benutzung von wissenschaftlischen Namen als "Anker" zur Organisierung von Biodiversitätsinformationen, verfügbar zu machen. ...

ICAIS 2019 will be the premier scientific conference on aquatic invasive species issues that will offer new experiences for all participants, plus unique professional development opportunities for students and young professionals. The technical program will deliver the best science on invasive species in freshwater and marine environments to benefit managers and stakeholders worldwide. It will emphasize emerging and novel research in invasion ecology and its applications and will include keynote presentations by a diverse group of leading international scientists. A new addition to this year's conference will be expert tutorial speakers as the lead presenters for each session topic. The balance of the technical program will be structured around contributed abstracts of oral and poster presentations that will be peer reviewed with priority selection based on scientific rigor and relevance to ICAIS. ICAIS 2019 will stimulate discussion, provoke debate and inspire action towards scientific collaboration at a global scale. ... [Information of the supplier]

PenBase provides comprehensive information about penaeidin properties, function, diversity and nomenclature. PenBase contains a Database section that lists all known penaeidins by subgroup or shrimp species. (...) Antimicrobial peptides are major components of innate immunity that have been conserved in evolution and found in different phyla of the plant and animal kingdom. Antimicrobial peptides are often small cationic molecules widely distributed in the whole living kingdom where they participate to host defence reactions against invading microorganisms. They are known to be involved in the innate immune response of vertebrate, invertebrate and plant species, and they are thought to be essential in organisms which lack adaptive immunity. Penaeidins are members of a family of antimicrobial peptides, originally isolated from the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, which present both Gram-positive antibacterial and antifungal activities (Destoumieux et al, 1997). Penaeidins appear to be a family of antimicrobial peptides ubiquitous among penaeid shrimps where they are major actors of the immune response (Bachère et al., 2004). ...

The list of isopod crustaceans has been compiled from a variety of sources, including numerous individual papers and monographic works, and the collections and catalogues of the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution. (...) Having compiled a list of about 5,300 marine and freshwater isopod crustaceans of the world (Kensley and Schotte, 1995), we thought that the addition of the terrestrial isopods to the list would create a more valuable taxonomic and biogeographic tool.

Bei den Copepoda handelt es sich um sehr artenreiche Gruppe der Crustaceae. Die Lebensräume dieser kleinen aquatischen Krebstiere umfassen sowohl das Süßwasser als auch hypersaline Habitate, dabei können unterirdische Höhlen ebenso besiedelt werden wie Phytotelmen in den Rosetten von Bromeliaceen. In ökologischer Hinsicht sind Copepoden wichtige Glieder der aquatischen Nahrungsketten. Die vorliegende bibliographische Datenbank wird durch Mitarbeiter der C.B. Wilson Copepod Library betrieben und enthält die Gesamtheit der bekannt gewordenen Literatur über Copepoda und Branchiura - gegenwärtig mehr als 53.700 bibliographische Datensätze. ...

GBIF Evertebrata III stellt ein Teilprojekt (oder sog. "Knoten") der Initiative Global Biodiversity Information Facility (= GBIF) Deutschland dar und erfasst als Teilknoten vor allem die Gruppe der marinen Evertebraten. GBIF hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, alle Informationen zur biologischen Vielfalt, die in Deutschland verfügbar sind, unter einem Dach zu bündeln und über ihre Einstiegsseiten zu erschließen. Die Webseite verweist vor allem auf die Teilprojekte verschiedener Forschungsinstitute wie z.B. das Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg und zahlreiche Typensammlungen anderer Einrichtungen. ...

Assembling the Tree of Life (AToL) ist ein ausgedehntes, von der National Science Foundation gefördertes, Forschungsprogramm mit dem Ziel, den evolutionären Ursprung aller Lebewesen zu rekonstruieren. Das AToL: Decapoda-Projekt versucht die evolutionäre Entwicklung der Decapoden (fossil und rezent) aufzuklären, einschließlich der Garnelen, Krebse, Langusten und Hummer. Unsere Gruppe umfasst fünf hauptverantwortliche Wissenschaftler und eine große Schar weiterer Mitarbeiter in vielen Einrichtungen auf der ganzen Welt. ... [Information des Anbieters, übersetzt]
