Offering high-quality colour diagnostic images and information on pests and diseases along with a number of comparative native species. PaDIL helps protect against invasive threats to Australia's economy, environment, human health and amenity. Guarding against pest and disease invasion is a key component of Australia's National Plant Health Strategy and the National Prevention and Management of Marine Pest Incursions. Rapid recognition of Emergency Plant Pests and Marine Pests is critical to ensure appropriate response strategies are implemented. PaDIL is one tool that can greatly enhance this process. ...

The International Society for Pest Information (ISPI) was established in January 2001 as a non-profit organization and is registered in Darmstadt, Germany. ISPI promotes information exchange with the aim to contribute to the development of pest management methods which are effective and safe for humans and the environment. For us the term 'pest' covers: a) animal pests, diseases and weeds in agriculture, forestry and stores; b) arthropods (e.g. insects), which are harmful to livestock or effect humans directly. We have started to assemble and maintain databases which contain lists of pests, beneficials and literature, as well as addresses of relevant research institutes, companies, organizations, scientists and professionals. The information is disseminated through the internet and on CDs. Currently our main activity is the preparation and distribution of the 'Pest Directory' database as a CD. ISPI is organized as a network of scientists, who participate in Society activities like data collection or the design and operation of internet pages. Membership is open to anyone willing to promote the aims of the Society. There are no membership fees, instead Members support the Society through their activities. The Society recognizes: a) Contributing Members, who stay in regular contact with ISPI and update information on their own affiliation, their publications and on relevant international meetings they are involved in. b) Active Members, who participate in the organization of the Society and the preparation and distribution of the databases. The active members elect every three years an Executive Committee (composed of the President, the Vice-President and the Executive Officer) as well as a Finance Committee, composed of 3 to 5 Finance Officers who are not member of the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee organizes and helps to implement the activities of the Society. The Finance Committee examines the expenditures of the Society and verifies that they correspond with the aims and rules of the Society. Members who cannot participate in the meetings electing the Society Officers can vote in advance by e-mail. ... [Information of the supplier]
On behalf of the German Society for Parasitology and the scientific committee I cordially invite you to the 27th Annual DGP meeting. It is my great pleasure to welcome you on this occasion at the Georg-August University in Göttingen.From 9–12 March 2016 you can expect an interesting scientific program that reflects the different disciplines which cover the field of parasitology. Both, the basic biology of parasites as well as applied, translational research will be represented within the conference. Together with my colleagues from the scientific committee I hope that you appreciate the value of our plenary sessions where internationally renowned experts provide broader insights into their recent exciting findings and novel developments. In addition, I am pleased to invite you to present and discuss your latest research results within thematic workshops and allocated poster sessions. In particular I would like to encourage young parasitologists to present their latest results to a wider audience and to exchange ideas. ... [Information of the supplier]
On behalf of the German Society for Parasitology (DGP) and the scientific committee I cordially invite you to the 28th DGP meeting. Research in parasitology continues to be a vivid field of life sciences with many exciting new findings and important challenges. This includes not only basic investigations on the biological processes occurring during the parasite-host encounter, the establishment and reproduction of parasites in various environments, but also applied studies on the treatment and control of parasitic infections. Traditionally, the biannual scientific conference of the DGP offers a platform for a broad spectrum of contemporary parasitological topics and research questions. This will also be the case at the next meeting, which will be held from 21-24 March 2018 in Berlin at the "Hery-Ford-Bau" on the main campus of the Freie Universität Berlin in Dahlem. ...

AGRICOLA (AGRICultural OnLine Access) serves as the catalog and index to the collections of the National Agricultural Library, as well as a primary public source for world-wide access to agricultural information. The database covers materials in all formats and periods, including printed works from as far back as the 15th century. The records describe publications and resources encompassing all aspects of agriculture and allied disciplines, including animal and veterinary sciences, entomology, plant sciences, forestry, aquaculture and fisheries, farming and farming systems, agricultural economics, extension and education, food and human nutrition, and earth and environmental sciences. Although the NAL Catalog (AGRICOLA) does not contain the text of the materials it cites, thousands of its records are linked to full-text documents online, with new links added daily. ...

BugwoodImages is a grant-funded project that was started in 1994 by the University of Georgia’s Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health. The website was launched in 2001 and has only grown and received much recognition since. BugwoodImages provides an easily accessible archive of high quality images for use in educational applications. It is made up of four major website interfaces. These are ForestryImages, IPMImages, InsectImages, and Invasive.org. The focus of BugwoodImages is on species of economic concern. Images cover invasive species, forestry, agriculture, integrated pest management, plants, insects, diseases, fungi, wildlife, fire and other natural resource issues. Images are reviewed for content and quality. In most cases, the images found in this system were taken by and loaned to us by photographers other than ourselves. Most are in the realm of public sector images. The photographs are in this system to be used! ... [Information of the supplier]
iNaturalist.org is a place where you can record what you see in nature, meet other nature lovers, and learn about the natural world. From hikers to hunters, birders to beach-combers, the world is filled with naturalists, and many of us record what we find. What if all those observations could be shared online? You might discover someone who finds beautiful wildflowers at your favorite birding spot, or learn about the birds you see on the way to work. If enough people recorded their observations, it would be like a living record of life on Earth that scientists and land managers could use to monitor changes in biodiversity, and that anyone could use to learn more about nature. That's the vision behind iNaturalist.org. So if you like recording your findings from the outdoors, or if you just like learning about life, join us! ... [Information of the supplier]
