Biology/Life Sciences
| We're continually reviewing new sites and adding resources, and appreciate your comments and suggestions. Suggest a link here |
| Online BioSciences includes selected articles from the print version,
links to many other biology sites on the Web, and information about life
sciences in general. A good starting point. |
| Set up to teach kids about bats, this site has good information
for all ages. Learn where and how bats live, how they help people, what
myths about them are untrue, and much more. You can also play a bat game,
take a bat quiz, and visit a bat cave. |
| So are Giant Pandas really bears or not? Here you can learn the
latest on this question, plus lots of fascinating facts about the eight
bear species of the world. There’s also information about
conservation organizations and what they are doing to help bears in their
dwindling habitats all over the world. |
| Biotechnology information supplied by industry, government, and
research sources is offered here. Includes a Career Center with job
search and HR links. |
| This is university level biology material, but includes images
(more than 3000 so far) which would be useful at lower levels as well.
Complete the free registration and all materials are yours to use.
Available in English and French. |
| Biology and chemistry sites in a dozen categories (including the
regulars plus news, lab safety, ethics, and careers) are gathered here.
They are not reviewed but do include author and sponsoring institution.
|
| This is a biology course taught at UC Irvine, but it's also fascinating reading
for anyone interested in biology. The professor includes here the lecture
texts for such subjects as History of Life, The Age of Mammals, Values of
Biodiversity, Extinction and Depletion from Over-Exploitation, and more. |
| This Cornell University College of Agriculture and Life
Sciences site offers pictures, descriptions, and biological control
information for "Natural Enemies in North America," including
insect, disease, and weed pests. Go to the Table of Contents in each
section for links to the specific information on each "bug." A
great source for growers, researchers, students, and teachers. |
| This is the home page of Biosphere 2. You can take a cyber tour of the
facility and learn about each of the different environments, plus design
goals, construction, history, current state, data on rainfall, etc., by
checking the sensors in specific areas for light, temperature, humidity,
and CO2. |
| This is a great site to see cells in action. The topics (Anatomy of a
Splinter, When a Cell Commits Suicide, This Strain Kills White Blood
Cells, and others) have descriptions of each step of their process, and
animated gifs and Quick Time movies to see actual cells! It's a really
interesting place to see, up-close, what cells do. |
| The Center, put together by Rice University, offers a number of
Conservation Biology areas for study. Their Virtual Library of Ecology,
Biodiversity and the Environment contains hundreds of great biology
links in a user-friendly format. The Society for Conservation Biology
Homepage is here, along with The Orchid Weblopedia, some very
interesting Related Conservation Biology Projects, and more. |
| The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens offers extensive information
on the zoo and its programs, as well as links to a number of other
zoo-related resources on the Internet. Meet Timu, the world's first test
tube gorilla, learn about The Cat Ambassador program and the importance
of habitat preservation, and take a guess at this week's mystery animal. |
| This colorful page tells about the great diversity of coral reef
fishes, their feeding and reproducing habits, their endangered species,
and their decline due to pollution and other factors. |
| Interested in natural control of insect pests and in current
trends in biological control? This site contains abstracts and conference
presentations on dozens of biological control issues from "Control of
silverleaf whitefly on poinsettia by natural enemies" to "Is the
public behind biological control?" |
| This site details a small, portable, and comparatively
inexpensive microscope ideal for viewing "the microworlds of life
that surround us." There are detailed lesson plans included and "virtual
viewing" opportunities as well, along with enthusiastic endorsements
from users. |
| If you have questions about elephants, you'll probably find the
answers here. This site deals with breeding (including records of
captive births in the US and Europe), characteristics, conservation
efforts, zoos where elephants now live, FAQ, and more. Don't miss Shiva,
the Virtual Elephant, and her story. |
| This excellent site is dedicated to education and research on
the coral reefs of Hawai’i and the world, and to their preservation.
There’s a virtual tour of the coral reefs of Hawai’i,
information on its marine life, sources for coral reef information from
around the world, a discussion area, Hawai’i and reef links, and
more. |
