The Darwin Core (sometimes abbreviated as DwC) is a standard designed to facilitate the exchange of information about the geographic occurrence of species and the existence of specimens in collections. Extensions to the Darwin Core provide a mechanism to share additional information, which may be discipline-specific, or beyond the commonly agreed upon scope of the Darwin Core itself. This wiki is open to anyone interested in the topic, but you must be a registered user to edit pages and add content. This site is meant to provide access to everything anyone needs to know about the Darwin Core. ... [Information of the supplier]
The German network for long term ecological research is intended to be a platform for communication, documentation and collaboration of scientists in long-term, system-oriented and interdisciplinary environmental research in Germany. LTER-D is a member in the international umbrella organisation of LTER (ILTER, www.ilternet.edu). It is an open network, which defines itself exclusively by the commitment of the members to their shared goals. Long-term approaches are particularly important in investigations of environmental changes, because such changes usually occur only gradually and with larger temporal fluctuations overlying the trend. Under such circumstances, only an adequately long observation period can be a sound basis to secure results and to support prognoses. The German LTER is still in the starting phase. The first workshop for mutual information and orientation was held in Duderstadt, central Germany, 24-26 March 2004. At this meeting, scientists from the institutions in Germany, which perform long-term ecological research in all relevant ecosystem types from the high mountains to the Wadden Sea, presented their concepts and results. The diversity, quality and potential of German LTER showed up clearly, and in future it will be further augmented by integrating LTER-D into the global ILTER-process. ...

The American Society of Naturalists is the oldest scientific society dedicated to the study of ecology, evolution and behavior. The goal of the society is to advance and to diffuse knowledge of organic evolution and other broad biological principles so as to enhance the conceptual unification of the biological sciences. The American Naturalist is the official publication of the American Society of Naturalists. The American Naturalist was first published in 1867, and the associated American Society of Naturalists was founded in 1883. ... [Information of the supplier]
The HUSAR Bioinformatics Lab at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ, Heidelberg) provides cutting-edge bioinformatics support and training to the scientist of the (post-) genomic era. This includes the Heidelberg Unix Sequence Analysis Resources (HUSAR), a large collection of essential sequence analysis tools. We provide the most up-to-date databases and software packages. Our main package - HUSAR - offers more than 260 applications for DNA and protein analysis. In addition to the latest, complete version of the GCG package (about 50% of our applications), you can use tools developed by us and by other ranking researchers in the bioinformatics field. We offer more than 200 databases, which are updated as soon as new versions become available. The major databases are updated every night (e.g. EMBL, GenBank) or weekly (Swissprot, Unigene). With HUSAR you can analyse the newest sequence data available. This is essential, as the DNA databases currently double their sizes in less than 9 months. ... [Information of the supplier]
The history of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Elektronenmikroskopie e.V. starts with the technical development of the electron microscope in Germany. The pioneers of the development of electron microscopy were involved in the formation of the DGE. In the years following after World War II thre centers for electron microscopy formed in the Federal Republic of Germany. ... [Information of the supplier]
iEMSs (we pronounce it "eye-em-es") is a not-for-profit organization uniting private persons and organizations dealing with environmental modelling, software and related topics. The aims of the iEMSs are to: (1) develop and use environmental modelling and software tools to advance the science and improve decision making with respect to resource and environmental issues. This places an emphasis on interdisciplinarity and the development of generic frameworks and methodologies which integrate models and software tools across issues, scales, disciplines and stakeholders with respect to resource and environmental issues; (2) promote contacts among physical, social and natural scientists, economists and software developers from different countries and coordinate their activities; (3) improve the cooperation between the sciences and decision makers/advisors on environmental matters; (4) exchange information in the field of environmental modelling and software among scientific and educational organizations and private enterprises, as well as non-governmental organizations and governmental bodies. ...

The International Biometric Society is an international society promoting the development and application of statistical and mathematical theory and methods in the biosciences, including agriculture, biomedical science and public health, ecology, environmental sciences, forestry, and allied disciplines. The Society welcomes as members statisticians, mathematicians, biological scientists, and others devoted to interdisciplinary efforts in advancing the collection and interpretation of information in the biosciences. The Society publishes two journals, Biometrics, reporting communications consistent with the Society’s mission, and, jointly with the American Statistical Association, the Journal of Agricultural, Biological, and Environmental Statistics. The Society is organized into geographically-defined Regions, each with at least 10 members. The Society is governed by an Executive Committee of General Officers and a legislative Council representing the international diversity of the membership. Regions elect their own officers and governing boards. ... [Information of the supplier]
Experimental Biology is the study of the form and function of animals and plants at all levels of organisation from the molecular and cellular to the whole organism. The ethos of Experimental Biology is one of interdisciplinary studies usually conducted within the context of the environment and evolution of the organism. The Society for Experimental Biology believes that the broad nature and lack of “ology” boundaries implicit in Experimental Biology give it a pivotal role in the development of Life Sciences which are of considerable benefit to its members and to society. In particular, Experimental Biology contributes to knowledge that can be applied to the development of agriculture and medicine and to understanding the impacts of human activity on living organisms and ecosystems. ...
