The British Arachnological Society (BAS) was founded as Flatford Mill Spider Group in 1958. Their objectives are to further the education of the public by promoting the study of the Arachnida, especially spiders (Araneae), pseudoscorpions (Pseudoscorpiones) and harvestmen (Opiliones), and to maintain close co-operation and understanding between amateur and professional arachnologists. The society publishes the Bulletin of the British Arachnological Society. Three integrated working groups were presented on the web site: the Spider Recording Scheme, the Pseudoscorpion Recorders' Group and the Opiliones Recording Scheme. The checklist of the British spiders is linked with the databases of the National Biodiversity Network (NBN) and the Natural History Museum. Therefore additional information about the distribution of each species is available. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]

Purpose: The DGaaE ("German Society for General and Applied Entomology") unites entomologists who are engaged in this research field by profession or privately. It is the purpose of the society to support entomological research and to gather and communicate the existing knowledge in entomology. In favour of these tasks the DGaaE promotes personal contact, exchange of information, and the national and international cooperation of professional and amateur entomologists. Activities: Every second year, the DGaaE organizes an international congress. Study groups are regularly meeting for several special subjects - partly in cooperation with other scientific societies. The DGaaE periodically gives awards for important contributions to entomology: the FabriciusMedal for basic research, the Karl Escherich- Medal for applied research, and the Meigen-Medal for systematic and faunistic research. The excellent work of a young scientist (e.g. a thesis) is granted by the Weiss/Wiehe-Foundation every second year. Journals: The Mitteilungen der Deutschen Gesellschaft für allgemeine und angewandte Entomologie contain publications of the lectures and the posters held at the congresses of the DGaaE. Three or four times a year, an issue of the DGaaE-Nachrichten is published to inform the members about the latest news. Furthermore, members may receive further entomological journals at a decreased rate (currently the journals Entomologia generalis and Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift). Membership: Currently the DGaaE comprises some 860 members worldwide. Annual membership dues are at a rate of 40,00 Euro (ca. 40 US $) and include the receipt of the two journals DGaaE Nachrichten and Mitteilungen der Deutschen Gesellschaft für allgemeine und angewandte Entomologie. We cordially invite you to join the DGaaE. ... [Information of the supplier]
