Try searching BioTech's Chemical Acronyms Database This free resource was developed by our staff members and contributors and is still very much under construction. Currently, most of our 8300+ terms deal with biochemistry, biotechnology, botany, cell biology and genetics. We also have some terms relating to ecology, limnology, pharmacology, toxicology and medicine. Don't expect to find common or exotic animals here; there are far too many species to cover even a fraction in a resource like this. However, we've included medically- and biotechnologically-relevant organisms such as bacteria, worms, fungi, and some plants. We are adding new terms as quickly as our funding permits.

Ron Shimek's Web Site
Provides articles on the marine aquarium hobby written by a Professor of ecology at Montana State University.
http://www.rshimek.com/

Extractions: Welcome I hope you find something interesting or useful here. By using the links above: You may find information on two molluscan groups I find particularly interesting, the Scaphopods, or tusk shells, and the Turrid Gastropods, particularly the cold-water venomous snails from the Northeastern Pacific in the genera, Oenopota Ophiodermella and Kurtziella You may also find some useful information on the husbandry of Coral Reef Aquarium animals. There is also information and some illustrations of one of my summer time passions, the Native Orchids of Montana. I have now added links to most of my online publications. Those that are missing were published in Aquarium Frontiers after February, 2000. Unfortunately, that site hasn't been updated to provide consistent access to these articles. As this condition has existed for well over a year, I doubt there will be any improvement any time soon. Finally, if you are so inclined, you may also find information about me, as well as the location of one of the more obscure towns in Montana by clicking on the "Biography" button above. Most of the illustrations in this site are thumbnails, just click on them for a larger view.

Extractions: Fungi take Two BEATRIX POTTER Photosynthesis Ecoregion Map ; "Think Globally, Act Locally" Humans and their Brief history Animal SOUNDS (Must have audio card) Some cool Miscellaneous Environmental Information "The most serious threat to the continuation of all life on this planet is the loss of biological diversity: the varied living beings that inhabit the globe." "It is true that the problem of disappearing species represents not only a conservation crisis on a scale never faced before, but also one of the greatest environmental challenges we are ever likely to confront." These quotes from Kennedy (1990, p. 17) illustrate the gravity of the ecological problem facing humankind - the loss of biodiversity. Although there has always been loss of species as part of the evolution of life, the rapidity with which it is currently occurring largely through anthropogenic influences, is the worrying factor. Botany is the science that deals with all forms of plant life, including mosses, ferns, conifers and flowering plants, and organisms formerly considered plants: algae, fungi, and lichens . Humans are heavily dependent on plants for oxygen, food, clothing, medicine, and shelter. Yet a surprisingly large percentage of the world's plant species remains unknown, their potential benefits to mankind hidden. Museum botanists are dedicated to documenting the origins and providing classifications of plant life in marine and terrestrial environments and to understanding how humans are affected by and have altered the plant world.

GIS In Plant Ecology
Annotated bibliography of GIS uses within plant ecology, including examples of research involving the analysis and prediction of vegetation change. Useful GIS and mapping web links are also included.
http://www.nacse.org/~keon/gis.html

Extractions: This annotated bibliography was created by Dylan Keon during winter term 1999. It was designed to fulfill the individual project requirement for GEO 565 at Oregon State University , taught by Dr. Dawn Wright . This bibliography is by no means inclusive...the citations listed here represent a small subset of the published literature! Geographic information systems have become increasingly useful tools in many natural resource disciplines, including plant ecology. The ability to track vegetation change through time and to make predictions about future vegetation change are just two of the many possible uses of GIS. On this page I cite examples of some interesting uses of GIS within plant ecology, including examples of research involving the analysis and prediction of vegetation change. Useful GIS and mapping web links are also included. Bakker, S. A., N. J. Van den Berg, and B. P. Speleers. 1994. Vegetation transitions of floating wetlands in a complex of turbaries between 1937 and 1989 as determined from aerial photographs with GIS. Vegetatio Vegetation change along a transition from open water to swamp forest was studied in the Netherlands. The researchers used remote sensing data and a GIS to evaluate the plant communities along this riparian gradient, and found a strong correlation between the distribution of community types and changes in local land management practices.
