Der Feldhamster wird auf der Roten Liste der gefährdeten Tiere der Bundesrepublik Deutschland als "stark gefährdet" eingestuft. Nach der Bundesartenschutzverordnung § 13 gehört er zu den besonders geschützten Tierarten und ist durch die europäische Flora-Fauna-Habitat-Richtlinie Anhang IV geschützt. Die fortschreitende Intensivierung der Landwirtschaft macht diesen Schutz weitgehend unwirksam, da der Lebensraum Ackerland keiner Nutzungseinschränkung unterliegt. Um den Feldhamster vor dem völligen Verschwinden zu bewahren, werden zur Zeit in mehreren Bundesländern und in einzelnen europäischen Staaten Schutzprogramme entwickelt beziehungsweise erprobt. Die Arbeitsgemeinschaft Feldhamsterschutz (Agfha) führt in Hessen Schutzprojekte durch. Das Ziel des Projektes ist es, die aktuelle Verbreitung und Bestandsdichte des Feldhamsters festzustellen und dies in einem Gebiet, dass wie kaum ein anderes in Deutschland von einem enormen Flächenverbrauch, vor allem im Bereich der landwirtschaftlichen Flächen, betroffen ist. Die Maßnahmen zur Stabilisierung der Feldhamsterbestände dienen auch einer Reihe anderer an die Feldlandschaft angepasster Tierarten, wie dem Feldhasen, der Schafsstelze, der Feldlerche und dem Rebhuhn. Diese Arten können und sollten als "Leitarten" für eine an die Ökologie angepasste Landwirtschaft dienen. ... [Information des Anbieters]
The Action Campaign for Endangered Species (AGA) is a worldwide NGO whose aim is to protect endangered wild animal species and their habitats from destruction. AGA grew from the “Save the Turtles Initiative”, launched in Germany in 1981, and was founded as an association in 1986. Since then, AGA has successfully initiated a broad palette of international activities. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
The EDGE of Existence programme is the only global conservation initiative to focus specifically on threatened species that represent a significant amount of unique evolutionary history. Using a scientific framework to identify the world’s most Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) species, the EDGE of Existence programme highlights and protects some of the weirdest and most wonderful species on the planet. EDGE species have few close relatives on the tree of life and are often extremely unusual in the way they look, live and behave, as well as in their genetic make-up. They represent a unique and irreplaceable part of the world’s natural heritage, yet an alarming proportion are currently sliding silently towards extinction unnoticed. The aim of the EDGE programme is to put these species on the map and catalyse conservation action to secure their future. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]

The Rat Genome Database RatMap is focused on presenting rat genes, DNA-markers, QTL:s etc that is localized to chromosome. The database is dedicated to rat gene nomenclature and should be consulted for queries in such. RatMap is formally sorting under the (RGNC) and is maintained at the Dept for Cell and Molecular Biology, Göteborg University, Sweden. Within RatMap you can find information on: rat gene nomenclature, chromosomal positions for genes, DNA-markers, QTL:s etc., predicted position for more than 6000 rat genes (see GAPP), gene function, literature references, DNA-sequences with links to DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank, unigene and Locus Link ID:s and links. ...

The membrane organization and subcellular location of a protein can provide information about its functional role. Historically, these data have been difficult to produce on a large scale for higher eukaryotic organisms. However, recent advances in membrane organization prediction methods and high-throughput subcellular localization assays have made it possible to generate these datasets. LOCATE is a curated, web-accessible database that houses data describing the membrane organization and subcellular localization of proteins from the FANTOM3 Isoform Protein Sequence set. Membrane organization is predicted by the high-throughput, computational pipeline MemO. The subcellular locations of selected proteins from this set were determined by a high-throughput, immunofluorescence-based assay and by manually reviewing over 1700 peer-reviewed publications. The results of the MemO pipeline and the subcellular localization methods are stored in the database with supporting information including a graphical depiction of the membrane organization juxtaposed with InterPro-predicted features and links to several external databases. The database is searchable by subcellular location, protein class, descriptive keyword, and sequence similarity. The data are retrievable in human- and machine-readable formats and in batch. ...
