Have you seen
a website that would be of interest to nematologists? Well,
don't keep it to yourself, send details to the Resources

Dr. Diana H. Wall's
Lab: Soil Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning
This
website at http://www.nrel.colostate.edu/projects/soil/
is run by the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory at the
Colorado State University, USA.
Plant and Insect Parasitic Nematodes
This website at
http://nematode.unl.edu/
includes information on all aspects of nematode biology
with a special emphasis on nematode ecology and taxonomy.
N. A. Cobb Foundation
The Nathan A. Cobb Nematology
Foundation (http://www.lal.ufl.edu/duncan/cobb_foundation.htm)
provides all nematologists the opportunity to build self-sustaining
endowments for the advancement of nematology. The endowments
are used to support important nematology projects that are
beyond the normal resources of the Society of Nematologists.
USDA Nematode Collection (USDANC) Database
Donna Ellington and Zafar A. Handoo of the
USDA-ARS Nematology Laboratory (Beltsville, MD, USA) have
developed and now maintain a website hosting the United
States Department of Agriculture Nematode Collection (USDANC)
Database. This database contains over 19,000 records
representing 555 nematode genera and 1,670 nematode species
on 800 plant host species. Individual collectors number
3,000, and the collection includes samples gathered from
180 countries. In addition, 180 insect hosts are represented
by specimens in the collection.
Historical Recollections
George Bird and Bill Mai have developed a
website of historical
data relating to the Science of Plant Nematology.
Historical information was obtained from retired Plant Nematologists
(including themselves) and from the records of the major
Nematological Societies.
CONSORTIUM FOR INTERNATIONAL CROP
PROTECTION
The Consortium
for International Crop Protection (CICP), working for a
quarter of a century to implement effective and environmentally-sensitive
crop protection worldwide, welcomes visitors to its revamped
website and invites usage of all of the free resources offered.

The Manter Laboratory
The Manter Laboratory (HWML) holds the
2nd largest collection of metazoan parasites in the western
hemisphere and provides training in parasite taxonomy, systematics,
and biodiversity through field work, loans, and onsite study
of specimens in the collections. The collection data are
fully on-line (http://hwml.unl.edu)
and continual improvements are being made to the quality
of data in the databases.

Reference Check
If you need to look up a journal title, check an abstract
etc. this site is useful, containing links to loads of journals:
http://www.sciencekomm.at/journal.html
Plant Names
If you have a problem with a plant name then the first
reference source should be the GRIN
database of the USDA-ARS. On the front page of this
site you will find a heading 'General Queries of Grin Taxonomy:',
with an option entitled: 'Form-based queries of species
data'. Click on this 'hot-spot' to be taken to a form which
you can use to make your query.
Enzyme Names
Enzyme names for use in papers can be standardized using
ENZYME
(the Enzyme nomenclature database). ENZYME (Release 24.0,
January 1999, and updates up to 16 March 1999) totals 3704
entries. It is primarily based on the recommendations of
the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) and describes
each type of characterized enzyme for which an EC (Enzyme
Commission) number has been provided. Notes on how to use
this site are provided on the front page by clicking on
the hot-spot 'ENZYME user manual' under 'Documents'.
Parasitology-Online
The portal Parasitology Online at http://www.parasitology-online.com,
a web-based service aimed at the scientific community in
the fields of tropical medicine and parasitology, has extended
the FREE trial period providing unrestricted full text access.
