Ecology & Environment

Specialized Databases = link Note: for access to our library catalogs and journal article databases, please visit our Databases page. Environmental Protection Agency Databases Features several database sources. An example is the Center for Environmental Information and Statistics databases, featuring county-level environmental profiles, maps, and more. Science Information System Provided by the USDA and the Biological Resources Division of the USGS, this database covers research projects. Southwest Ecoregion Planning Group Site sponsored by a group of federal, state, and local agencies and non-governmental organizations, in order to provide a resource for researchers, agency personnel, and other interested individuals seeking information about the Southwest ecoregion. Included is a searchable database of research and monitoring projects, as well as biological and other data sets. Threatened Animals of the World From the World Conservation Monitoring Centre Toxics Release Inventory Part of the TOXNET toxicology information service from the National Library of Medicine, this is an annual compilation of information about environmental releases of over 500 toxic substances. Searchable by substance, location, facility (ie, company or organization). The EPA's own Web site gives other digested information from TRI, including reports by industry type. Electronic Publications Note: most of these work from UCSD Internet accounts only. Visit our main e-journals page for more information and links to many more titles.

Three publications so far in the series. National Academy of Sciences Reading Room: Ecology and Ecosystems National Academy of Sciences Reading Room: Environmental Issues Several dozen full-text reports are available for reading online at these two sites. Most are not in a format conducive to printing. The UCSD Libraries own many but not all of the titles listed. An example:     Ecology of Industry: Sectors and Linkages, 1998. Southern California Natural History An online textbook from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles - covers animals, plants, as well as climate and geography. Societies & Associations Association of Ecosystem Research Centers Association of Systematics Collections Ecological Society of America Society for Conservation Biology Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry Selected Internet Sites CDL/LOC Environmental Information Resources From the California Digital Library and the Library of California - note: UCSD does not subscribe to the "database" component of this site. California Threatened and Endangered Species Lists available for every county in California of all known species which fall into various federal and state categories of endangeredness. CERES: California Environmental Resources Evaluation System Convention on Biological Diversity Includes the text of this UNEP convention, as well as information about the organizing body, the Conference of the Parties, and links to other international bodies involved with biological diversity issues. EE-Link: Endangered Species Good site from the University of Michigan featuring information on endangered and extinct species in the US and internationally. Also features policy and classroom links. Endangered Species Program Official Web site from the US Fish and Wildlife Service, providing lists and counts for endangered plant and animal species in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency National Biological Survey Site is sponsored by the USGS Biological Resources Division, and features resources about U.S. animals, plants, ecosystems and ecological issues. The Tree of Life Provides a "phylogenetic navigator" to biology information on the Web, focusing on biodiversity and phylogeny. Other Ecology Starting Points Biodiversity Ecology Endangered & Threatened Species Guides from BIOSIS' excellent Internet Resource Guide for Zoology. Envirolink International Web Site World-Wide Web Virtual Library: Ecology, Biodiversity and the Environment Yahoo Subject Guide: Ecology Library Catalog Searches Choosing one of the following links will send you to the UCSD Libraries' ROGER catalog and run a search for books, whole journals, and other items on that subject. You can then use the "Limit" option on the ROGER screen to narrow down the search by date, type of material, library location, etc. These subject headings are presented here as good starting points. Once in ROGER, you may want to try other search strategies to meet your particular needs.
