Title: Chez Marco's Botany related URLs pg 2
Botany and Fieldbiology Sites page 2An extensive list of URLs related to systematic botany, biodiversity, ecology and biological fieldwork. Completeness is not the aim, content and quality is. European sites are especially encouraged to present themselves. This second page of the Botany related URLs puts more emphasis on the word related. IndexBiodiversity, Ecosystems, Nature Conservation
Rain Forests
Single Taxon Sites: Animals
Marine Biology

- UNEP's mandate is to provide leadership and encourage partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations. The executive Centre in Geneva gives info on existing conventions like on transport of chemicals, climate change, CITES, migratory species, etc. You might also visit the regional office for Europe, and from Arendal in Norway comes GRID, the Global Resource Information Database. Also good info on the Ozon layer for Europe there.

More Biology
Sites that are clearly outside our scope of systematic botany or field biology, but were too good to resist. A small but exquise selection...
- The Virtual Cell
- Zoom in on an image of a living plant cell. Turn it around, highlight a detail, before you know it you're looking at individual molecules!
- DerBrowser
- DerBrowser is a genomic map display tool in Java. A beautiful sight to have a model of a DNA molecule rotating on your screen, or to see a screen of a DNA sequencing application and you can actually press the buttons :-)
- The Plant Photobiology Notes
- By Pedro J. Aphalo. All about the influence of light on plants. Photoperiodicity, photosynthesis, growth hormones. Different lamps and light sources, films and filters are tested, spectograms shown. Also on UV light, influence on the ozon layer. And much more.

Biology Education
Of course all of the the previously mentioned sites can also be used in teaching, but the sites here do not clearly fit in those other groups, and the educative value is prominent.
- The Natural History Museum
- in London. Much to see and learn there. Personally I like the page about Darwin's house (Down House), the museum is supporting a fund-raise for it's renovation. Also a "virtual reality" project around Trilobites.
- Teyler's Museum (en.) / Teylers Museum (nl)
- A magnificent little museum of a museum in Haarlem, Holland. 18, 19th Century natural history in original setting. Electrification machine from 1784, with a battery of Leyden Jars - what the hell did they do with electricity back in those days (please tell me). The infamous 'Homo diluviensis' - in fact a giant salamander, and much, much more.
- Botany Education / Botanie Educatief
- Chez Marco's Plant Picture pages: Tropical Rainforest (with sounds too), Wasteland Flora near Amsterdam (Diemerzeedijk), and more
- BioNet
- A German initiative to support scientific environmental projects. Some of the projects are sponsored by the Comenius - Socrates action. All WfS participants are invited to join these projects. Students do fieldwork and use freely downloadable software, which is partly in English. Some of the software is also available in Dutch language version, het Cals College heeft er al mee gewerkt.
- Natuur en Milieu-project voor de tweede fase
- Internet-zoektocht in het kader van Natuur en Milieu Educatie. Met behulp van aanwijzingen van de docent, kunnen leerlingen zelfstandig (in groepjes) het internet verkennen. Het doel: Het maken van een eigen werkstuk / presentatie.

- Natural Perspective
- The material here is organized according to the biological principles of classification: Plantae, Fungi, Animalia, Protoctista, Biosphere. Per kingdom info about lower taxa.
- A Survey of the Plant Kingdoms
- Study the plant kingdoms on-line. Again a taxonomical tree structure, with good info on Order level. The presented classification of higher plants (herbacious and woody) is only one view though, not generally accepted. And the pages about plant anatomy need some work I think...
- Evolution of Crop Plants
- Where did agriculture originate and when? How were plants modified as a consequence of cultivation? A series of lectures by Paul Gepts, Gepts Lab, University of California, Davis. There is some contents, but it's mainly a lesson plan, with references to literature, short notes.
