Entomology on Internet (fwd)

["Nancy J. P. Lively" <nlively@UMD5.UMD.EDU>]

If anyone in your school deals with entomology (bugs, creepy crawlies,
insects, ROACHES, etc., please page down and read and keep this JEWEL. I
tried to help answer a query on the library media listserv.  Because I
used tin, I found another person at our local community college who had
made a comment on a Brand New news group.  I asked her a question, she
went OUT of her way by about a million miles and got this wonderful list
of sources from THE person in charge.  He has graciously allowed me to
cross post this to help anyone who needs the info.  He is willing to
accept personal mail on this subject.  Hope it helps some of you a lot.

Hi, Nancy!

Karin Juettner requested that I send you our lists of Entomology resources
that are available on the Internet.

These lists of Entomology resources on the Internet were compiled in
collaboration between Louis B. Bjostad (Entomology Department, Colorado
State University, lbjostad@lamar.colostate.edu) and John K. VanDyk
(Entomology Department, Iowa State University, jvandyk@iastate.edu).

          Entomology List Servers

For continuing conversations on entomology by electronic mail, there are
some good selections of Entomology list servers available.

     BEE-L This list provides a format for discussion of bee research and
biology. Subjects include sociobiology, behavior, ecology, genetics,
taxonomy, physiology, pollination, and many others. The contact person for
the list is Mary Jo Orzech (mjo@brock1p.bitnet). To subscribe, send an
e-mail message to LISTSERV@UACSC2.ALBANY.EDU with body text consisting of
"subscribe Jane Doe" where Jane Doe is your real name. You will receive
further instructions from the listserver.

     BIOCONTROL-L is maintained in Brazil.  Subscription to this list can
be done by sending the message SUBSCRIBE BIOCONTROL-L <Your name> to
listserv@ftpt.br. Contact Sidnei de Souza (sidnei@ftpt.br) for more
information.

     BIODICEN-L is a listserver for the proposed U.S. National Biodiversity
Information Center.  To subscribe, send the message "SUBSCRIBE BIODICEN-L
<firstname> <lastname>" to listserv@ucjeps.berkeley.edu (or for direct
communication with a real person, e-mail to
listserv-request@ucjeps.berkeley.edu).

     BUGNET has been formed to meet the need for a "non-professional"
entomology mailing list, i.e. to serve as a resource for teachers and bug
enthusiasts to ask questions to professional entomologists. To subscribe,
send an email message to listserv@wsuvm1.csc.wsu.edu with a blank subject
line and body text consisting of "subscribe bugnet John Doe" where John Doe
is your real name.

     ENT-LIST is maintained at the University of Michigan, and is more
restricted to insect systematics and curatorial matters. Those interested
in joining ENT-LIST should send e-mail to MFOBRIEN@UMICH.EDU.

     ENTOMO-L is  maintained at the University of Guelph in Canada, and
pertains to entomology in general.  To join the list, send an e-mail
message with a blank subject line to LISTSERV@UOGUELPH.CA with the text as
follows: SUBSCRIBE ENTOMO-L YOUR-NAME (where YOUR-NAME is your real name).
You will then receive regular messages on entomological topics (usually
about 5-10 per day) from other members in the group.

     LEPS is a mail list devoted to butterflies and their allies. It is
open to the professional and amateur alike for discussion ranging from the
scientific to the mundane.  To subscribe send your request to:
listserv@kaiwan.com, and in the body of the message type: ADD leps (to
unsubscribe, in the body of the message type: DELETE leps).  Submissions to
the list should be addressed to: Leps.@kaiwan.com, and they should include
the name and location of the poster in the body of the message.

     PESTCON is maintained at the University of Iowa, and has discussions
on Integrated Pest Management (IPM). To subscribe to PESTCON send an
internet message to LISTSERV@UIOWA.EDU, leave the subject line blank, and
in the body of the message write SUBSCRIBE PESTCON "your name" on one line,
and QUIT on the next line.



          Entomology on Usenet News

Usenet News groups are another excellent way to exchange messages with
other entomologists.  If you need software, tin is available for unix, and
Newswatcher is available for Macintosh.  Popular newsgroups for entomology
are:

sci.agriculture
sci.agriculture.beekeeping
sci.bio
sci.bio.ecology
sci.bio.entomology.lepidoptera
sci.bio.ethology
sci.bio.evolution
bionet.agroforestry
bionet.announce
bionet.biology.tropical
bionet.plants



          Entomology Bulletin Boards

Pesticide Special Review and Reregistration Information System is a public
access BBS brought to you by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency. The files center around the progress and decisions resulting from
re-examination of data on existing pesticides, many of them having been on
the market for years, and many of them being high-use or well-known
chemicals in agriculture, industry, and in the home.
(703) 308-7224
8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit

IPMnet is a joint effort of the Consortium for International Crop
Protection (CICP) and the USDA National Biological Impact Assessment
Program.  To connect with IPMnet via Internet, use:
     telnet --then, at the prompt, key in:
     cicp.biochem.vt.edu --and follow on-screen prompts that appear.

MosquitoNet is a dial-in bulletin board system maintained by Bruce Eldridge
and his laboratory at UC-Davis. The number to call with your modem is
916-752-5484.  There are no charges for opening an account.  The first time
you dial, MosquitoNet will take information and then drop you off the line.
Your accounts will be activated usually within 24 hours.
