BIO500: Invasion Ecology: Other BIO Sources

Literature on biodiversity digitized by natural history and botanical libraries. Contains journal articles and other texts on more than one million species names.

The Center for Plant Conservation is dedicated solely to preventing the extinction of U.S. native plants.

An electronic reference about the Earth, its natural environments, and their interaction with society. The articles are written by scholars, professionals, educators, and experts who collaborate and review each other's work. The content is written in non-technical language, and will be useful to students, educators, scholars, professionals, as well as to the general public.

A collaborative effort among several internationally known natural history institutions, with the goal of providing detailed information about all 1.8 million species of organisms on Earth via a single, free web portal. Content is synthesized from published literature and verified by volunteer scientists. Most of the content is text, although multimedia and interactive content is available for some entries.

Searches across databases provided by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), including GenBank, PubMed, OMIM, and many others.

Conserving biodiversity is central to the mission of IUCN. Their mission is to demonstrate how biodiversity is fundamental to addressing some of the world’s greatest challenges such as climate change, sustainable development and food security.

This image database on integrated pest management allows the user to browse by commodity, taxonomy and damage type.

Access to botanical and other resources from around the world including: more than 600,000 plant type specimens; over 175,000 scientific research articles, and more than 20,000 paintings, photographs, drawings, and other images.

Provides standardized information about the vascular plants, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and lichens of the United States and its territories.

Provides a gateway to information resources in science and technology at the US government science agencies. Two major types of information are included: selected authoritative science Web sites; and databases of technical reports, journal articles, conference proceedings, and other published materials. (The specific content varies by database.)

On more than 10,000 World Wide Web pages, the project provides information about biodiversity, the characteristics of different groups of organisms, and their evolutionary history.
