S ince 1763 the name Russborough has been synonymous with collecting and dealing in fine art. In the closing decades of the last century the historic town of Port Hope has become home to Lord Russborough's Annex which specializes in an individual mix of antique maps, paintings and prints. W e continue to keep this tradition alive by our active participation, both past and present, in such organisations as The Royal Geographical Society, Royal Dublin Society, Irish Georgian Society, International Antiquarian Map Dealers Association, Past President of the Port Hope Branch of the Architechtural Conservancy of Ontario and Founding President of the Ganaraska Regional Archives. W hile Lord Russborough's Annex features a great many works of museum standard, we also offer a wonderful selection of prints priced at under $100. In compliance with EU. regulations we offer equal pricing for both Ladies and Gentlemen - as has been our policy since 1918, " Our reputation is based on our integrity, friendly service, expertise and eclectic collection " Darrell G.

68. AMNH: Division Of Vertebrate Zoology, Department Of Ornithology::Collections And Most tissue samples in the Department of ornithology have been acquired in In general, we will provide samples from traditional specimens strictly as http://research.amnh.org/ornithology/collections.htm

The Department of Ornithology has a combined collection in excess of one million specimens. The majority of our holdings are in the form of skins (flat and round), supplemented by skeletons, wet stored, egg shells, and tissue samples. The collections may be accessed in person or via a loan For access to any of our collections please contact our Collections Manager, Paul Sweet , by email or at 212-769-5780. Access and Loan Policies Skins Eggs Skeletons Wet specimens Tissue Tissue Loan Policy I.) Introduction The Department of Ornithology at the American Museum of Natural History maintains a collection of tissue samples. The Department wishes to treat the use of this collection as it does use of other expendable collections, such as anatomical specimens stored in alcohol, namely, with an open policy of reciprocal loans to similar institutions that maintain collections and promote specimen-based research. However, the Department recognizes that many potential users of tissue samples are not associated with museums. Consequently, it is prepared to loan tissue samples to non-traditional users of specimens in circumstances in which the researchers have important research projects underway and in which those researchers are sympathetic to collection-based research and the continuing need for maintenance, improvement, and additions to museum collections. Most tissue samples in the Department of Ornithology have been acquired in association with specific research projects initiated by and continuing in the laboratories of active members of the curatorial staff. Only a portion of the Department’s tissue holdings were obtained as a result of general collecting. Consequently, not all tissues will be available to borrowers, and tissue samples will be loaned only upon evaluation of the project for which the samples are requested. Unlike some preparations of birds, tissue samples are eventually used up; thus, it is the responsibility of the curatorial staff to conserve tissue and ensure its wise usage.

It indexes nearly 6,000 international journals in virtually every life sciences discipline, including: agriculture, biochemistry, biotechnology, botany, ecology, environment, microbiology, neurology, pharmacology, public health, veterinary medicine, virology and zoology. Its companion, Biological Abstracts/Reports, Reviews and Meetings (BA/RRM), provides access to meetings, symposia, proceedings, workshops, editorials, review articles, noncritical reviews of books, book chapters and software, and U.S. patents related to the life sciences. Together these indexes comprise the BIOSIS Previews database.

@import url("/stylesheets/sand_adv.css"); Walter Boles Scientific Officer / Collection Manager, Ornithology Section, Division of Vertebrate Zoology What do you work on? Walter Boles My main role is looking after the Museum's collection of birds. This includes acquiring, processing and registering new specimens; curating the collection; managing the collection database; and making the specimens available for use by interested people, both professional and amateur. Other jobs include providing information to the public, researchers and educational and governmental organisations, either directly or through the Museum's website, exhibitions and publications. When I have time, I conduct some research on the evolution and relationships of Australian birds. The majority of my recent studies have involved fossil birds from a number of sites across the country and from a wide chronological age range. How did you become a scientist? I developed my general interest in natural history from my father, who was a biology teacher at high school and university level. This began at an early age. My specific fascination with birds started in my first year in high school. I pursued it in an amateur capacity (birdwatching) through high school and university. My undergraduate degree was in zoology, with a concentration in vertebrates, particularly birds. Much of my more scientific interest in birds started after I joined the Australian Museum as an assistant and this interest expanded on the job. My work on fossil birds began while studying for a higher degree.

Course topics may include forest succession, edible wild plants, field ecology methods, ponds and streams, and the use of identification keys, topographic maps, and collecting equipment. Each student conducts a detailed natural history project on a topic of interest. Designed for non-science majors. This course satisfies the Triad Education Natural Science course requirement. Considers humans as a biological species, as a foundation for developing a deeper appreciation of human sociology and psychology. Topics may include the place of humans in the animal kingdom, hominid evolution, human genetics, the role of natural selection in the past and present, human ecology, anatomy and physiology, and reproduction and development. Designed for non-science majors. This course satisfies the Triad Education Natural Science course requirement. Students will learn to identify (by sight and sound) most of the birds found in the Carolinas. They will use a computer tutorial program to first learn bird species, then spend most of their time in the field where they will advance their skills. They will also learn practical use and care of binoculars, and some bird handling skills.

The Asahi Shimbun , March 22, 2004. Opinion, Point of VIEW Bird research a matter of national security Satoshi Yamagishi Director General, the Yamashina Institute for Ornithology With avian flu in the headlines virtually every day, the resultant brouhaha has given rise to a sort of social anxiety. Given this situation, it's no surprise that wild birds, and ducks in particular, are taking the rap for carrying and spreading the viruses that cause the disease-despite the fact that there is no substantial proof they are responsible. I feel sorry for birds, who can't talk back. It just isn't fair to pin the blame on migratory birds simply because they are, well, sitting ducks. As Japan's only research institution specializing in ornithology, I believe it is our social responsibility to clarify whether they are indeed the true "culprit." Over the last eight decades, the bird migration research center at our institute has captured, tagged and released a total of nearly 4 million birds of 570 kinds. In recent years, as many as 200,000 birds are being tagged annually. Currently, the center is mainly focusing on tracking migration routes of birds with the aim of protecting and conserving wild animals under the jurisdiction of the Environment Ministry.
