About CalPhotos
About CalPhotos: "CalPhotos has been on the web since 1995 and was one of the first online image databases specializing in natural history subjects. The database currently contains 395,602 digital images of plants, animals, and other natural history subjects, along with descriptive information including scientific and common names, location and dates of photos, and other information provided by the person or organization that contributed the photos. Around 2,000 new photos are added each month by a variety of organizations and individuals that have registered with CalPhotos. CalPhotos receives more than 120,000 specific queries per day, and serves more than 1 million images per day, as of early 2008. (Details about current usage are available here.)
The taxonomic and geographic information that accompanies the photos, along with the annotation system, which allows experts to review identifications for the photos, result in a uniquely useful database for scientists, students, and other people interested in natural history. In addition to numerous ways to search the photos, common and scientific name browse lists and photo thumbnail browse lists add functionality for people searching for specific photos or taxa via web search engines, and make browsing easy and user-friendly."

What bug is this? - Amateur Entomologists' Society (AES)
What bug is this? - Amateur Entomologists' Society (AES):
If you have found an unknown insect (or other invertebrate) and would like to identify it then the AES can help you.
There are roughly one million described species of insect and experts estimate that there are probably another five million speciesthat are yet to be identified. If you combine that total with the millions of species of invertebrate that are not insects (e.g. spiders, scorpions, centipedes, millipedes, ticks etc.) you'll realise that no one person can ever be an expert in any more than a relatively small area.

Secret Garden - Introduction | Nature | PBS
Secret Garden - Introduction | Nature | PBS: "For many people, a backyard garden is a place to play, relax, and reflect. But for the plants and animals that live in our gardens, life is no picnic: amidst the carefully planted flowers and neatly clipped grass there lies a hidden world of hot romance, violence, and merciless competition. That world is revealed in the NATURE program SECRET GARDEN, which documents the daily drama that takes place within the fences of a respectable garden."

ARMI - Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative
ARMI - Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative: In response to indications of worldwide declines in amphibian populations, the President and Congress directed Interior Department agencies to initiate a national program of amphibian monitoring, research, and conservation. There is an urgent need to determine the scope and severity of the problem and to investigate causes. The U.S. Geological Survey is uniquely qualified to coordinate and lead a cooperative national effort because its scientists have been in the forefront of studying amphibian populations and life history traits, measuring and monitoring environmental characteristics, and conducting research into potential causes of decline. As a result, the Agency formed the National Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI).
