Lindsay Lab Links to Interesting Places

Links are arranged topically. I do my best to keep them current, but it isn't a high priority. If you find a broken link, please let me know. Each link opens a new window.

Careers in Marine Science:

• Sea Grant's Marine Careers website -- interviews, salary info & more
• Careers in Oceanography, Marine Science & Marine Biology -- a whole host of relevant links
• Careers in marine mammal science - strategies from the Society for Marine Mammology

Teaching/Science Education:

• The Bridge - Ocean resource center for K-12 students and teachers
• Neuroscience for kids - maintained by Dr. Eric Chudler at the University of Washington
• National Center for Case Study Teaching In Science
• Teaching Issues and Experiments in Ecology & Evolution - Ecological Society of America, peer-reviewed
• The WebQuest Page
• LabWrite Resources page - excellent tutorials on using Microsoft Excel to generate graphs. LabWrite is an NSF-funded project from NC State University
• Oceans in the News - Clearinghouse of current news related to oceans and climate from COSEE-Ocean Systems. COSEE-OS is part of the NSF-funded Centers for Ocean Science Education Exellence network and results from a cooperation between the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, University of Maine and the University of New Hampshire.

Online Marine/Oceanographic Data:

• GoMOOS: Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing System - information on weather and oceanographic conditions in the Gulf of Maine
• Non-Indigenous Aquatic Species database - U.S. Geological Survey, obtain information, maps, or issue queries to the NAS database regarding different nonindigenous aquatic species.
• Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) -explore data on the locations of marine animals and plants
• NOAA Photo Library -- well, they aren't numbers, but this is a nice library of many marine-related images
• WhaleNet's Sattelite tracking data - from Wheelock College, data from satellite tracking of various marine vertebrates

(Marine) Invertebrates: just a few of many links

• Annelid Resources - A guide to scientific information on annelids, and to current worm research & researchers
• Smithsonian Diversity of Life - National Museum of Natural History website, see Invertebrate Zoology links
• The Arthropoda - part of the University of California Museum of Paleontology online exhibit about the history of life on earth. The exhibit is quite extensive and worth checking out.
• The SlugSite - devoted to the study of opisthobranch molluscs
• The Cnidaria Homepage - site maintained at UC Irvine for researchers studying all aspects of cnidarian biology
• The Horseshoe Crab - A comprehensive website by the non-profit Ecological Research & Development Group (ERDG), whose primary focus is the conservation of the worlds four remaining horseshoe crab species.
• Division of Invertebrate Zoology - part of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology

Sensory Biology & Ecology:

• Seeing, Hearing and Smelling the world -- report from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute; not marine, but excellent information on these three senses.
• Association for Chemoreception Sciences --international association that advances understanding of the senses of taste and smell.
• Bioluminescence Resources & General Information
  • Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution
  • Scripps Institution of Oceanography
  • UC Santa Barbara
• Ecology of vision in the ocean -- Sonke Johnsen's lab at Duke Univeristy
• Discovery of Sound in the Sea -- by the University of Rhode Island Office of Marine Programs introduces science and uses of sound in the ocean
• A few U.S. marine chemoreception labs (by no means all of them):
  • Michael Hadfield (Hawaii), chemical cues and larval settlement/metamorphosis
  • Gabrielle Nevitt (UC Davis), olfactory navigation by seabirds and fish
  • Richard Zimmer (UCLA), chemical signals and animal navigation
  • Jelle Atema (Boston Univ.), chemical signals, receptor physiology, behavior mostly in lobsters
  • Dan Rittschof (Duke Univ), functions, mechanisms & evolution of chemical signaling
  • Joseph Pawlik (UNC Wilmington), chemical ecology and marine invertebrate larval ecology
  • Charles Derby (GA State Univ), chemosensory neurobiology in crustaceans
  • Marc Weissburg (GA Tech), chemically mediated orientation, sensory physiology,signal structure and transmission of chemical signals
  • Jeannette Yen (GA Tech), signal recognition by marine zooplankton

Microscopy:

• American Microscopical Society
• Olympus Microscopy resource Center
• Nikon MicroscopyU
