The survival of a species is dependent on maintaining the health and well-being of individuals and populations. The production of hormones is the foundation of species survival by regulating reproduction and facilitating the maintenance of homeostasis. Researchers have been evaluating and monitoring gonadal, pituitary and adrenal hormones for decades and yet our understanding of these physiological mechanisms is limited to only a small percent (2-3%) of wildlife species. The International Society of Wildlife Endocrinology (ISWE) was initiated in 2010, out of a desire by wildlife endocrinologists to further our knowledge and expand our potential resources in this field of study. ISWE presents an opportunity for developing and applying non-invasive endocrine monitoring techniques much more broadly and systematically to help solve a variety of management problems for many zoo-held species. As well, these tools can also be used to monitor, better understand and manage the health and well-being of wildlife. ... [Information of the supplier]
I am pleased to announce the call for scientific abstracts for CECE 2016, the 28th Conference of European Comparative Endocrinologists, to take place on August 21-25, 2016. The meeting will be held in the historic city of Leuven, Belgium, close to Brussels and easily reachable by air, car, or public transport. The University of Leuven (KU Leuven), founded in 1425, is the oldest university in the Low Countries and one of the largest and most renowned universities in Europe. At CECE-2016 we will have the honour of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the European Society for Comparative Endocrinology (ESCE), which endorses the conference. The Society promotes research on endocrinology of all organisms at the molecular, cellular, systemic and evolutionary levels. Furthermore, it strives to integrate the field of comparative endocrinology with many related disciplines (biochemistry, physiology, neurobiology, ecology, etc.). Meetings are organized every other year and special support is provided for young investigators. Interested parties are invited to apply for membership to ESCE at the following website: http://www.escendo.info/ As for CECE-2016, great efforts are being made to offer all attendees a stimulating scientific program and an enjoyable stay in Leuven. The scientific program will include five selected plenary lectures, 24 symposia with 48 State-of-the-Art Lectures and 120 oral communications, as well as four poster sessions. A special symposium will be organized for young investigators, with prizes for the best oral and poster communications. Major social events will include a Welcome Reception at KU Leuven’s historic University Hall (Sunday 21st August), and a Social Banquet at the ‘Groot Begijnhof’ UNESCO World Heritage Site (Wednesday 24th August). A fantastic selection of Excursions will also be offered for the Tuesday afternoon (August 23rd). Your contribution to CECE-2016 is warmly welcomed and I invite you to submit a scientific abstract via the conference website when the submission system is open (expected January 2016). In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have about the conference. ... [Information of the supplier]
ZFIN serves as the zebrafish model organism database. The long term goals for ZFIN are a) to be the community database resource for the laboratory use of zebrafish, b) to develop and support integrated zebrafish genetic, genomic and developmental information, c) to maintain the definitive reference data sets of zebrafish research information, d) to link this information extensively to corresponding data in other model organism and human databases, e) to facilitate the use of zebrafish as a model for human biology and f) to serve the needs of the research community. ...

With increasing interest in organogenesis, tissue maintenance and integrity, and the use of zebrafish as a model for human disease, researchers are studying processes that extend further into the larval period. Despite many years of use as a model system an anatomical reference for larval zebrafish does not exist. In order to provide such a resource we developed FishNet an online anatomical reference for zebrafish larval development. Using the technique of optical projection tomography (OPT) (described in Bryson-Richardson and Currie 2004) we have created three- dimensional (3D) models of larval zebrafish from 5 mm to adulthood. Once a 3D model has been created it may be virtually sectioned in any plane or rendered to give a representation of the 3D organization of the sample. ... [Information of the supplier]
A long-standing goal of biology is to map the behavior of all cells during vertebrate embryogenesis. We developed digital scanned laser light sheet fluorescence microscopy and recorded nuclei localization and movement in entire wild-type and mutant zebrafish embryos over the first 24 hours of development. Multiview in vivo imaging at 1.5 billion voxels per minute provides "digital embryos," that is, comprehensive databases of cell positions, divisions, and migratory tracks. ...

The Digital Fish Library (DFL) is a collaborative project at the University of California, San Diego between the Center for Scientific Computation in Imaging (CSCI), the Center for functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CfMRI) and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), including the Birch Aquarium at Scripps. The DFL mission is to catalog the anatomical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of fishes from most major saltwater, and many freshwater genera to provide a resource for research and education. ...

FishNet is a collaborative effort by natural history museums and other biodiversity institutions to establish a global network of Ichthyology collections. There is an open invitation for any institution with a fish collection to join. The current portal is an outgrowth of the original FishNet project with improvements in network stability, georeferencing capabilities, and technical support. Users are provided access to searchable, mappable and downloadable data that are cached on a regular basis from participating institutions who have published their data via the DiGIR or TAPIR protocols with a Darwin Core schema. FishNet is also one of four (along with MaNIS, HerpNET, and ORNIS) vertebrate network portals that provide access to specimen collection records from around the world. These web portals, together, comprise VertNet and serve georeferenced, taxon-based data from 72 global institutions. ... [Information of the supplier]
