Ticks are... Tick Species Tick-borne Diseases Acaricide Resistance ... Home FAO Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases Ticks and tick-borne diseases are an economical constraint in the development of the livestock sector, mainly in Africa, the Caribbean and South America. They cause production losses, illness or even death. FAO has been and is involved in field projects and programmes related to tick and tick-borne disease issues. The multi-donor programme for Integrated Tick and Tick-borne Diseases Control in Eastern, Central and Southern Africa (thrird phase: 1993-1997) was one the largest and involved 9 countries. The Caribbean Amblyomma Eradication Programme (CAP) is another big programme, that is still ongoing. Photo by M.Moran:acaricide spraying in Uganda Farmers have long been treating their cattle, sheep and goats with acaricides to protect them from ticks, but many ticks have become resistant to these chemical compounds. FAO envisages to act as a forum of experts and industry to explore alternatives in order to come to an Intergrated Parasite Management approach. Through publications, like the

45. Introduction To The Myriapoda UCMP Berkeley's outline of myriapod history, biology and taxonomy. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthropoda/uniramia/myriapoda.html

Introduction to the Myriapoda They've got legs. . . they know how to use them. . . Click on either of these images to view an enlarged version! Nearly 13,000 species of arthropod are classified in the Myriapoda, the "many-legged ones." All myriapods are terrestrial forms. Like insects and other uniramian arthropods, myriapods have appendages with only one branch, or ramus . Myriapods can have anywhere from fewer than ten to nearly 200 pairs of appendages; they range in size from nearly microscopic to 30 cm in length. Most myriapods live in humid environments, and can be found in soils, in leaf litters, or under stones and wood. Many species possess repugnatorial glands , specialized glands that secrete foul-tasing compounds and thus function in defense. There are four groups of myriapods; how they are related to each other is not yet well understood. Two of them, the Symphyla and Pauropoda , consist of tiny arthropods living in leaf litter and soil; both superficially resemble centipedes. The Chilopoda includes the true centipedes, like the one shown at the top left of this page. Chilopods have only one pair of legs per body segment. They are predators; the first pair of appendages on the trunk are modified into a pair of claws with poison glands, which centipedes use to capture prey (usually other arthropods). The bite of large centipedes can cause humans some pain and discomfort, although there are no authenticated cases of human fatalities from centipede bites.

This website is presently being redeveloped from scratch to take consideration of the latest developments regarding the systematics and ecology of corallines. Some areas will be under modification from time to time, but we should be finished rebuilding by June 2001. Derek Keats, January 27, 2000 C oralline red algae are a poorly known group of marine organisms. Yet, a close examination reveals that they are simple and easily understood. They are also a group of marine plants of considerable ecological importance, especially in the construction of coral reefs. I would be very pleased to accept proposals for articles for this website.

Central Pacific Island Environments Hawai`i Coral Reef Bibliography INTRODUCTION HOW TO ACCESS DATA FIELDS IN HCRB SEARCHING THE DATABASE IN EndNote REVISING THE DATABASE EndNote Officially entitled "Inventory Catalogue of Hawai`i's Coral Reefs" the Hawaii Coral Reef Initiative Computer Interactive Bibliography (HCRIB) is a project of the Hawai`i Wildlife Fund (Principal Investigators, Carl J. Berg and Hannah J. Barnard) in collaboration with AECOS , Inc. (Eric B. Guinther, Joann Fisher, and Hilary Maybaum). This project has been supported by a grant from NOAA / U. S. Coral Reef Initiative The HCRIB is an EndNote Plus bibliographic reference data base which provides reference listings of surveys, studies, technical reports, atlases, and the like on subjects ranging from physical oceanography, biology, taxonomy, water quality, ecology, and reef resources for the main Hawaiian Islands. In gathering references for inclusion, the editors have placed particular emphasis on technical reports (essentially unpublished reports) by corporations, consultants, students, organizations, and government agencies for the reason that these types of studies and surveys are most difficult to track through standard bibliographic data bases. Also, far greater numbers of field surveys and site specific observations are available from this "gray" literature than anywhere else. References listed in this database are limited to marine environments found around the main Hawaiian Islands from the shore out to a depth of about 60 feet. A similar data base for Hawai`i fresh and brackish waters is under development (see

TreeTop - Phylogenetic Tree Prediction Other The Genetic Software Forum Detailed information on the above options Phylodendron - an application for phylogenetic tree drawing Phylodendron is an application for drawing phylogenetic trees, used in evolutionary biology. It will read tree data in New Hampshire (Newick) format, then display graphical views of the phylogenetic tree. Various options allow you to modify, adorn and edit the tree. Standard application functions to save, print, edit and manage preferences are included. This program will not estimate nor produce the tree data. For that, software such as Phylip, Clustal W, and others may be used. Phylodendron is written as a Java application. This means that it will run on most personal computers and workstations as a standard program. This application is an enhancement of the Mac Hypercard program "Tree Draw Deck" released by the author in 1990. LVB - Reconstructing evolution with parsimony and simulated annealing LVB is intended for use where there is a very large amount of information (e.g., hundreds of aligned DNA sequences). The program was written to investigate use of the heuristic known as simulated annealing in the search for parsimonious phylogenetic trees.

TAXONOMY AND BIOLOGY OF PARASITIC HYMENOPTERA 20-28 April, 2005 An intensive residential course at the Silwood Park campus of Imperial College London Organised jointly by the Department of Entomology, The Natural History Museum, London and the Department of Biological Sciences, Imperial College London INTRODUCTION Parasitic Hymenoptera are very numerous, diverse, economically important, and of great ecological significance. Their correct identification is vital for workers in many fields, but, because of their diversity and their often small size, they are regarded as inaccessible except to experts. However, advances in wasp systematics, encapsulated in various identification manuals, mean that most entomologists, ecologists and biological control workers can learn to identify the major groups. Accurate recognition of the families and subfamilies leads to an immediate insight into the biology and significance of the parasitic wasps concerned and can save a great deal of time and effort in sending material away for identification, as well as greatly enhancing a field worker's chances of later getting the insects identified to species level.

I NTERNATIONAL M ICROBIOLOGY is the official journal of the Spanish Society for Microbiology (SEM). The first journal published under the auspices of the SEM was , which was launched in 1947. From 1985 until 1997, the journal was called . In 1998, the title was changed to I NTERNATIONAL M ICROBIOLOGY . The journal addresses the international scientific community and publishes two types of contributions: Articles and Complements. Articles may be reviews, research articles, or research notes. Complements may be editorials, perspectives, opinions, book reviews, obituaries, etc. The fields covered by I NTERNATIONAL M ICROBIOLOGY are: microorganisms, both prokaryotes and eukaryotes (prions, viruses, bacteria, archaea, protists, yeast, molds), microbial biology (physiology, ecology, morphology, taxonomy, genetics, pathogenesis), and microbial applications (environmental, soil, industrial, food, medical microbiology, biodeterioration, bioremediation, biotechnology). Papers related to microbial science on a worldwide basis are also considered. Special emphasis is given to issues that go beyond the traditional boundaries of a microbiology journal: the state-of-the art of microbiology in different regions of the world, the research activities and interests of outstanding microbiologists, the role of microbiology in society and education, new findings from the frontiers of current research, et cetera. Critical reviews of new books on microbiology, related sciences, and social aspects of science are also welcome.

Biological information about Lemmings `The Lemming Zoo' The information provided here is taken from several sources. If you think that some statement is untrue it would be nice if you told me to correct it. I am studying computer science and not biology... Common missunderstandings about Lemmings Lemmings are not upright walking animals with a blue and green fur populating computers. They are not rodents with suicidal tendencies - and they do not seem to have psycological problems. Perhaps they simply can't do better. Any similarities to the human race are totally coincidental. They are able to swim and cross lakes more than 1 km wide. Where are they living? On the Northern hemisphere. Most species populate regions in the tundra or taiga. A few have specialized to live in savannahs and steppes, but I am not sure how much they have in common with the others. The Lemming Species Hierarchy and Classification Due to lack of information, only the Latin and German names are available here. Where have they been put in the Hierarchy: Phylum: Chordata [ German: Chordatiere] Subphylum: Vertebrata [ German: Wirbeltiere] Class: Mammalia [ German: Subclass: Eutheria [ German: Order: Rodentia [ German: Nagetiere] Family: Muridae Subfamily: Arvicolinae (Microtinae) Remark: a former classification for Family has been: Cricetidae [ German: A list of Lemming Species Warning: The list of lemming species presented here will only be displayed correctly if you are using a browser capable of tables .

Navigate this page History Biogeography Taxonomy Biology History of polychaete research in New Zealand New Zealand polychaetes are relatively poorly known as they have been studied only sporadically since first the principal contributors, Ludwig Schmarda and William McIntosh in the late nineteenth century and then Ernst Ehlers and Hermann Augener in the early 1900's, made their pioneering forays into the taxonomy and wrote their not always helpful descriptions in the wordy style of the time. This work was done in Europe on preserved material taken away by visiting naturalists and today the original specimens are often lost or difficult to trace. William Benham, an English immigrant arriving in 1897, was the first resident polychaete expert. George Knox has been the most prominent New Zealand polychaete specialist since the 1950's. Glasby, C.

This membrane allows them to glide long distances (over 100 m) with considerable manueverability. The membrane is covered by brownish or gray pelage with irregular white spots. The fore and hind feet have long, needle-sharp claws, useful for holding onto bark and branches. The skull of a colugo is very distinctive, broad and flat in outline and with a nearly complete postorbital process that sets off the eye sockets. The tympanic bullae are flattened, and the
