SciELO - Scientific Electronic Library Online

SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) is a bibliographic database and a model for cooperative electronic publishing in developing countries originally from Brazil, supported by the Foundation for Research Support of the State of São Paulo (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo, FAPESP) and the National Council of Scientific and Technological Development (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, CNPq), in partnership with the Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information. The database contains 985 scientific journals from different countries in free and universal access, full-text format. The SciELO Project's stated aims are to "envisage the development of a common methodology for the preparation, storage, dissemination and evaluation of scientific literature in electronic format." All journals are published by a special software suite which implements a scientific electronic virtual library accessed via several mechanisms, including a table of titles in alphabetic and subject list, subject and author indexes and a search engine.

INECOL - El Jardín

Colección Etnobotánica Los humanos estamos relacionados con las plantas en un sinnúmero de formas. Esto es lo que estudia la etnobotánica. Aquí los visitantes encontrarán algunas de las plantas más utilizadas por los habitantes de la región de Xalapa, sus aplicaciones y usos tradicionales, su valor cultural o científico. Los ejemplares están debidamente etiquetados y están dispuestos de tal modo que se pueda distinguir con facilidad sus características durante el recorrido. Los primeros jardines botánicos del mundo ya exhibían colecciones etnobotánicas, sobre todo de plantas medicinales. Hoy en día todos los jardines botánicos del mundo promueven la conservación de la diversidad de plantas y de los conocimientos así como los usos que las personas tradicionalmente hacen de ellas. En Veracruz existen grupos étnicos como los totonacas y los nahuas que conocen y utilizan plantas desde hace muchos siglos. Estos conocimientos antiquísimos siguen siendo de uso regular tanto en el campo como en las ciudades y muchas personas las utilizan para comer y condimentar, como materia prima en artesanía, elaboración de esencias aromáticas, fabricación de colorantes, adornos, madera para mobiliario, como leña, como alimentación de animales domésticos, en rituales y ceremonias sin olvidar la cura de algunas enfermedades.

INECOL - El Instituto de Ecología

El INECOL, es una sólida institución mexicana, que ha ganado un prestigio nacional e internacional, que en 1974 se fundó, gracias a la coyuntura política existente en ese momento, donde el director del Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (CONACYT), Dr. Gerardo Bueno Zirión apoyó la iniciativa de la creación de centros de investigación, que se venía gestando desde sus inicios en los años ‘70. Entonces el Dr. Gonzalo Halffter, que era Director de Graduados e Investigación Científica del Instituto Politécnico Nacional, decide junto con un pequeño grupo de investigadores provenientes de la Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Biológicas del IPN, lanzarse a un proyecto de formar una institución dedicada a la ecología, dada la necesidad de fortalecer e impulsar la investigación en este campo en nuestro país. En aquel entonces tenía un alto grado de incertidumbre de llegar a ser exitoso, pero que gracias a la iniciativa y visión del Dr. Gonzalo Halffter, Director Fundador, y a la vez, Director del Museo de Historia Natural de la Ciudad de México en Chapultepec, ha llegado a ser lo que hoy en día conocemos.

Flora of North America

The Flora of North America project has grown out of a long history of interest in the flora area and has built on the experiences of previous efforts to produce a comprehensive flora. It has been designed to draw on the expertise of the entire systematic botany community and to make the best possible use of the literature and herbarium specimens that are essential resources for the project. Despite current interest in and urgency of botanical studies of many other kinds, there continues to be a need for information about the plants of North America on a continental scale.

Micrographia is for those who use microscopes in their investigations of the world around them. It is for students and teachers of (especially) fresh water biology in their search for creature identification and illustrative material, for both amateur and professional light microscopists seeking to extend the performance of their instruments and to record the images they produce ..... and for anyone at all who feels like a browse through a minutely detailed world of small animals, small plants, and small things.
