Buglife-The Invertebrate Conservation Trust is the only organisation in Europe devoted to the conservation of all invertebrates. The trust pledge itself to saving Britain's rarest little animals, everything from bees to beetles, and spiders to snails. Buglife was registered in December 2000. On the web site presents some conservation projects and campaigns. Furthermore there are sites for young people with activities and general information about invertebrates. Some chosen species were presented as bug of the month with an informative leaf let. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The BugWise program has been designed to enable schools, Landcare Groups and land managers to get involved in ecological research. BugWise also provides an opportunity to test new methods of habitat assessment and develop a community focused habitat monitoring tool kit. [Information of the supplier]
BUGZ is a user-friendly web interface designed to allow full-text search and retrieval of information from New Zealand’s largest compilation of invertebrate literature – the 'BUGS' bibliography (Ramsay & Crosby 1992). 'BUGZ' contains a literature database of 16,080 articles on the terrestrial invertebrates of New Zealand, published between 1775 and 1993 and provides full-text indexing of the more than 200,000 pages of text scanned from the articles of the BUGS bibliography. This massively enhances the search capabilities and subsequent access to archived information on the taxonomic status, life history, ecology, and conservation significance in the primary literature on New Zealand’s terrestrial invertebrates. Apart from the ability to undertake full-text searching, BUGZ is the first New Zealand biodiversity database to allow dynamic matching of its entire full-text database against the taxonomic namebank of uBio – the universal Biological indexer and organiser. Namebank is a reconciled list of over 8,000,000 taxonomic names (including homonyms, synonyms and common names) and creates a virtual link to an ever-increasing number of international biodiversity databases (e.g. GBIF, NCBI, ITIS, Species 2000) that may contain additional biodiversity information useful to the user. ...

This side offers an interactive key which is meant to aid the identification of the non-insect aquatic macroinvertebrates found in the rivers and streams of North Dakota. It is primarily meant to be used by students, citizen groups, and professionals and be useful to implementing a biomonitoring program. This key is not a traditional dichotomous key. It includes many different groups such as snails, daphnia, crayfish, leeches, and oligochaetes. For some of the groups it goes all the way down to species level. Other groups may only go down to the Order, Family or Phylum level (the sponges and flatworms).The key has been based on 7 years of collections carried out by the North Dakota Department of Health and 5 years of collecting carried out by Dr. Andre DeLorme's macroinvertebrate lab at Valley City State University. A list with short biographies of the participating scientists completes the side. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
Welcome to FUNCRYPTA, the tardigrade project funded by the BMBF Framework Programme "Biotechnologie - Chancen nutzen und gestalten", "QuantPro - Quantitative Analyse zur Beschreibung dynamischer Prozesse in lebenden Systemen". The scientific objectives of FUNCRYPTA are:(i) to identify genes, enzymes and their products, whose value for stabilizing cells has been documented, on entering, during and after the anhydrobiotic stage in tardigrades, ii) to relate known dynamic cellular procedures during the anhydrobiotic stage in order to understand the background of anhydrobiotic changes, and(iii) to develop mathematical methods to understand and quantify mechanisms, dynamics and driving forces of anhydrobiosis in order to predict changes and to provide a scientific baseline for further investigation and development of products required to stabilize cells. ...

On behalf of the International Society for Invertebrate Morphology, Moscow State University, The Paleontological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the local organizing committee we cordially invite you to attend the 4th International Congress on Invertebrate Morphology (ICIM4) to be held 18 – 23 August 2017 in Moscow, Russia. The congress will be hosted by Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU), which is a perfect venue for this scientific society to gather, discuss, and share ideas. The building of the Biological Department located directly on the MSU campus will open its gates to students, scientists and professors from all over the world. The ICIM 4 is devoted to actual questions and the most important achievements in the field of invertebrate morphology; to a wide range of scientific problems including the synthesis of classical morphology with advances in molecular taxonomy and phylogeny, to evolutionary developmental biology; to investigations on the structure of different groups of invertebrates; to the problem of miniaturization and the evolution of larval forms; and to modern achievements in the field of functional morphology and paleontology. ...

The 5th International Congress on Invertebrate Morphology (ICIM-5) is hosted by the University of Vienna during the second week of August, 2022. The congress is organized on behalf of the International Society for Invertebrate Morphology (ISIM) by the Department of Integrative Zoology (Faculty of Life Sciences), headed by Andreas Wanninger. The overarching theme of ICIM-5 is the evolution of the exceptional diversity of forms and structures found in extant and extinct invertebrate animals. ... [Information of the supplier]

It is our pleasure to invite you to attend SIP2015 - the International Congress on Invertebrate Pathology and Microbial Control and the 48th Annual Meeting of the Society for Invertebrate Pathology to be held 9-13 August, 2015 at the University of British Columbia Campus in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. As always, the meetings will offer an exciting scientific program exploring the latest findings in invertebrate pathology, including microbial control, diseases of beneficial invertebrates, and advances in fundamental research on host-pathogen interactions. In addition, the satellite symposium ‘Microsporidia in the Animal to Human Food Chain: An International Symposium to Address Chronic Epizootic Disease’ sponsored by the OECD Co-operative Research Programme on Biological Research Management for Sustainable Agricultural Systems and SIP will be held on Sunday, 9 August. The SIP meetings will begin on Sunday afternoon with a special half-day workshop organized by the Bacterial Division entitled ‘Regulatory Considerations for the Commercialization of New Insecticidal Proteins’ followed by our customary evening welcoming mixer. ...
