A. P. Leventis Ornithological Research Institute (APLORI) is a small institute connected to the University of Jos (UNIJOS), Nigeria. The institute aims to educate students in Conservation Biology, and to be a centre of excellence for Ornithology in West Africa. Currently we are giving courses on master’s level in Conservation Biology, and tailored courses for other groups. PhD students from St. Andrews University, UK, are affiliated to the institute, conducting research on various aspects in Conservation Biology, but with a special focus on birds in altered habitats in the savannah zones of Nigeria. ...

The gallery is meant to eventually exhibit a photograph of every known species of Androsace. I have applied the George Smith and Duncan Lowe taxonomy system, set out in their “The Genus Androsace” publication. Several conclusions reached by Alarich Kress in 1997 and 1999, as a result of his detailed research into Spanish Androsaces for “Flora Iberica”, served as guidelines. Natural hybrids are listed alphabetically, but are preceded by an "X". Any known subspecies and varieties comes together with the main species, in the way of a group. Many photographs shown here will be of Androsaces growing in the wild. Others will feature garden-grown specimens. ... [Information of the supplier]
This chart of flowering plant families is designed by David Rydeheard, and is available for on-line viewing or as a poster. The chart is suitable for professional, student and amateur botanists, for school, colleges and universities, and for a number of different purposes. It is an attractive chart, with many familiar plant names and plant products included. The chart uses the latest molecular (genetic) phylogenies. The fine-structure of relationships between families is depicted. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
ARKive is the Noah's Ark for the Internet era - a unique global initiative, gathering together into one centralised digital library, films, photographs and audio recordings of the world’s species. ARKive is leading the ‘virtual’ conservation effort - finding, sorting, cataloguing and copying the key audio-visual records of the world’s animals, plants and fungi, and building them into comprehensive and enduring multi-media digital profiles. Using film, photographs and audio recordings, ARKive is creating a unique record of the world’s biodiversity - complementing other species information datasets, and making a key resource available for scientists, conservationists, educators and the general public. ...

The University of Pittsburgh is fortunate to own one of the rare, complete sets of John James Audubon’s Birds of America. It is considered to be the single most valuable set of volumes in the collections of the University Library System (ULS). Indeed, only 120 complete sets are known to exist. While Audubon was creating Birds of America, he was also working on a companion publication, namely, his Ornithological Biography. Both of these sets were acquired by William M. Darlington in the mid-nineteenth century and later donated, as part of his extensive library, to the University of Pittsburgh. Recognizing that the Darlington Library includes significant historical materials, such as rare books, maps, atlases, illustrations, and manuscripts, the ULS charted an ambitious course to digitize a large portion of Mr. Darlington’s collection, including the Birds of America. We are pleased to present our complete double elephant folio set of Audubon’s Birds of America, accompanied by his Ornithological Biography, through this Web site. Together these sets comprise an unprecedented online combination. ... [Information of the supplier]

The Bildatlas der Moose is a collection of plates of all mosses growing in Germany, composed of a habitus image, in most cases photographed at the growth site, and besides close-ups and photomicrographs of all details necessary for determination. If not stated otherwise, all photography, layout and typeset is by Michael Lueth himself. Since the plates, similar to a combined collection of exsiccata and permanent slides, are intended as a complement to existing guides, text was considered dispensible. ...

Here you will find information on members of the orders Chytridiales (sensu Barr) and Spizellomycetales in the class Chytridiomycetes (Kingdom Fungi), including a description of genera, tips and techniques on how to isolate chytrids, current hypotheses of chytrid systematics (includes both taxonomy and phylogeny), links to other relevant websites, and a searchable reference database. The goal of this site is to provide an online resource for students, teachers, and researchers wanting to learn more about chytrids as well as an easily accessed interface for taxonomic information. Since the work on chytrid taxonomy and phylogeny is an on-going process, this site will be continually updated to reflect the changes brought about by new research. ... [Information of the supplier]
