The project „100 fields for biodiversity“ aims at establishing a nationwide conservation field network for wild arable plant species. Through this project, which is financially supported by the Deutsche Bundestiftung Umwelt (DBU, www.dbu.de), there is a realistic chance of countering the ongoing loss of species by implementing a network of conservation fields. The conservation of typical arable plant communities such as Caucalido-Adonidetum flammeae, Teesdalio-Arnoseridetum and Papaveretum argemones should be ensured within every ecosystem of Germany with the help of these „conservation fields“. On these fields, crop management is carried out without herbicide use and according to the growth preferences of the wild arable plants. The conservation fields should act as future centres for potential re-colonisation of rare species. ... [Information of the supplier]
Die 4teachers.de Community versteht sich als Open-Source Projekt im Bildungsbereich. Open-Source bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang, dass eine Plattform im Internet zur Verfügung gestellt wird, die zum Austausch von Inhalten aus dem Bildungsbereich beiträgt und von ihren Nutzern permanent erweitert wird. Die kostenlose Mitgliedschaft in der Community eröffnet dem Nutzer ein ganze Reihe von Möglichkeiten, die im Gast-Modus nicht zur Verfügung stehen (Materialtausch, Material kommentieren, Forenbeiträge, Userprofile, Nachrichten senden, Kollegensuche, Bookmarkfunktion, erweiterte Suche, Gästebuch, Fleißkärtchen). ...

Anthropogenic Biomes (Anthromes) offer a new way to understand our living planet by describing the way humans have reshaped its ecological patterns and processes. This guide is based on a system of 21 Anthrome classes divided into 6 broad groups, as described in Ellis and Ramankutty (2008; Anthromes v1). [Information of the supplier]
In response to the ‘Biodiversity Crisis’ and the ‘Taxonomic Impediment’, the aim of this publication is to make available, online, information about ecology and taxonomy of diverse groups of megadrile earthworms, information that is currently scattered, outdated, or otherwise unavailable. This goal complements those advocated by groups such as BioNet, CBD (GTI), Diversitas, GBIF, IUCN/SSG, Wikispecies, ZipcodeZoo and Zoobank. Presentation is a series of discrete chapters in various formats as originally prepared. Several species checklists (partially annotated) provide an invaluable resource for young researchers needing to construct comprehensive faunal lists for a region, for managers or concerned scientists wishing to research answers to simple questions, such as: "What is the correct and current name of this species?" "How's our regional biodiversity?" “Can I add yet another new species name to this group without a full inventory?” ... [Information of the supplier]
The first aim of "A World of Pinguicula" is to collect informations on genus Pinguicula and make it easily available for all Pinguicula lovers via internet. The second aim is to preserve in culture as many species, forms and hybrids as possible of truly identified Pinguicula thus preserving indirectly wild populations from field collection. The best way to preserve a species is to spread cuttings or seeds to as many people as possible, you can then beg a piece back if you loose it later. This will be actively encouraged on this site through the Cutting Exchange and Seed Distribution Schemes (soon). ... [Information of the supplier]
The aim of the African Blackwood Conservation Project (ABCP) is to help replenish this valuable tree in Tanzania. Most people will not have knowingly seen blackwood but almost everyone will have heard it, for it is the premier wood of choice for fine concert-quality woodwind instruments such as clarinets, oboes and flutes, as well as being used in the manufacture of bagpipes. Blackwood is also the finest material available today for producing ornamental turning. In its African homeland, it is used to make intricate and highly detailed carvings, and plays a vital role in the ecology of the East African savannah. ... [Information of the supplier]
AboutDarwin.com was created to fill a niche on the internet. It seemed to the author a shame that a gentleman who has had such a profound influence on humanity like Charles Darwin did not have a website devoted exclusively to him. While there are a few excellent websites that touch on few aspects of Darwin’s life, none of them really get into the details of who Charles Darwin actually was, deep down on a personal level. It is the primary focus of the website to provide as much detail of the life and times of Charles Darwin as possible. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
Launched in 1993, Access Excellence is a national educational program that provides high school health and biology teachers access to their colleagues, scientists, and critical sources of new scientific information via the World Wide Web. In 1999, Access Excellence was donated to the National Health Museum by Genentech, a leading biotechnology company. Access Excellence currently forms the core of the educational component of the National Health Museum Website and will be expanded substantially to better serve the needs of K-12 health educators. ...

Achromatopsie ist eine autosomal-rezessiv vererbte, sehr seltene Erkrankung, die zum Ausfalls des Farbsehens und zu weiteren Beeinträchtigungen führt. Auf der Website der Achromatopsie Selbsthilfe wird neben dem normalen Ablauf des Sehvorgangs und der ausführlichen Erläuterung der dabei stattfindenden Vorgänge im molekularen und zellulären Bereich auch die Vererbung verschiedener Störungen erklärt. ...

This website will serve as a gateway for information regarding African amphibian species, where participants will write and edit species pages, upload images, and maintain bibliographic resources. The goal of this project is to develop an authoritative, community-driven resource for information on African amphibians. We expect this to be a key resource for both the public and experts in the field, including those who may not have access to original descriptions, taxonomic changes, and updates of species distributions from scientific journals. In addition to serving as a stand-alone resource, this LifeDesk will feed content directly into the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) and AmphibiaWeb. ... [Information of the supplier]
