The
Biological Survey of Canada (Terrestrial Arthropods) helps to coordinate
scientific research among specialists on the Canadian fauna of insects,
mites, and their relatives.
This
web site describes the Survey and provides various resources for work on
the Canadian insect fauna, including on-line publications and
databases.
The Survey
synthesizes knowledge and ideas, focuses available expertise on to topics
that are particularly significant, and acts as a clearing-house for
information. It thereby serves as a catalyst for more efficient scientific
progress and provides national direction for work on Canada's insect
fauna.
What's
New
Curation Blitz - Saskatoon
The first Biological Survey Curation Blitz will be held on Monday, October 1, 2007 from 7-9 p.m. during the joint annual meeting of the Entomological Society of Canada and the Entomological Society of Saskatchewan. The location is to be determined but likely will be either at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada or the University of Saskatoon.
The goal is to sort unidentified specimens and increase the level of curation for the collections at these two institutions. Additionally, those of us interested in faunistics of Canadian arthropods will have a better idea of the material available in these collections.
For more information contact David McCorquodale: david_mccorquodale@cbu.ca, 902-563-1260
More details will be posted on this web site and on the notice board at the ESC/ESS Joint Annual Meeting.
New Head of Biological Survey
Dr.
Andrew Smith has been chosen as the Head of the Biological
Survey of Canada for a one-year term beginning June 4th 2007.
Dr. Hugh Danks will retire on August 31st 2007.
New Electronic Mailing List
The Canadian
Arthropods” electronic mailing list is an electronic discussion group initiated and maintained by the Biological Survey of Canada (Terrestrial Arthropods). The purpose of this list is
1) to facilitate communication between researchers who are interested in the Canadian arthropod fauna;
2) to be a forum for discussion about issues facing Canadian arthropod researchers and arthropod collections; and
3) to disseminate information for and about the Biological Survey of Canada.
