ESHE, the European Society for the study of Human Evolution, promotes the broad field of research which investigates how humans evolved both biologically and culturally. Contributing disciplines typically include hominin palaeontology and palaeogenetics; comparative and functional studies of extant primates, using both morphological and molecular evidence; palaeolithic archaeology; and applied studies of stable isotopes, dating, taphonomy, palaeoecology and palaeogeography. ESHE aims to stimulate communication and scientific cooperation between scientists, and to improve public understanding of human evolution. Core activities of the society will be: to organize yearly meetings, with a scientific programme, as well as a public-outreach event, to encourage and help develop international and interdisciplinary research proposals and projects, and to initiate and support activities which increase the public and political visibility of human evolution studies. The European Society for the study of Human Evolution is registered as a non-profit organization. ... [Information of the supplier]
The EUropean ROe DEER Information System (EURODEER) is an open project to support a collaborative process of data sharing to produce better science. It is based on a spatial database that store shared movement data on roe deer to investigate variation in roe deer behavioural ecology along environmental gradients or population responses to specific conditions, such as habitat changes, impact of human activities, different hunting regimes. EURODEER group is trying to fully explore the opportunities given by the new monitoring technologies for conservation and management at both local and global scale. The spatial database, built upon open source software (PostgreSQL + PostGIS) and hosted at Edmund Mach Foundation, can be connected to a large set of client applications (GIS, web interfaces, statistics) to help storing, managing, accessing and analysing GPS data from several research groups throughout Europe. At present 19 research groups join EURODEER. The database is static and temporary, but the perspective is to turn it into a permanently structured and dynamically updatable data repository of a long term project. ...
