Subject: Veldbiologische Software Checklist (WWW page)

Software for  ecology, taxonomy, and management of collections.

The Fieldwork Software Checklist at Chez Marco's has been thoroughly
updated. I'd say that especially the *Dutch* language version could be
accused of approaching completeness... But well, please tell me
otherwise, and it's certainly a good reference:

http://www.euronet.nl/users/mbleeker/prog/soflis_n.html

Also the English language version of the page is a good starter for
someone who is looking out for software in this area - to use, or to
review before you perhaps decide to program something yourself:

http://www.euronet.nl/users/mbleeker/prog/soflis_e.html

I welcome you all on my pages, and more, would appreciate any help,
further information, criticisms, etc.

While you're at it, please feel free to nose around the other Chez
Marco's pages: botanical pictures, a multimedia tour through the
rainforest, list of botany URLs, and much more.

Thank you for your kind attention, sincerely, Marco

Subject: 1996 Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of Australia--final call
         for abstracts

A final notice for abstract submission:

The 1996 annual meeting of the Ecological Society of Australia will be held at
the Townsville campus of James Cook University of North Queensland from 9-12
July 1996.

The last several ESAust annual meetings have been attended by 250-300 persons.
In Townsville, we will have 7 half-day symposia plus 8 half-day contributed
paper sessions and poster sessions.

Further information is available by email from esa96@jcu.edu.au or by pointing
a World Wide Web viewer at:

http://www.jcu.edu.au/dept/Zoology/sundry/esa96.htm

Abstracts should be received by 26 April 1996; we will take abstracts by email.

Townsville is in tropical Australia, at 19 degrees south latitude, and provides
a good jumping-off spot for tours of the Australian tropics including
rainforests and the Great Barrier Reef.  Short rainforest and reef tours are
being run in conjunction with the conference, and more extensive ones are
available through a variety of tour operators in Townsville.  The weather in
July is almost always dry and cool, with daytime temperatures in the low 20's
(C; about 70 F) and nighttime temperatures in the low-to mid teens (about
50-60 F).

We hope to see some of you in July.

Cheers,
Ross Alford, ESA96 organizing committee chair

Subject: Re: Darwinism Vs Creationism

Just to throw in a useful pointer here, the tireless defenders of
truth and light (i.e. the "evolutionists" over on talk.origins) have
put together a really fine web site with lots of useful
documents. Just fire up your browser (netscape, mosaic, whatever) and
point it at:

  http://rumba.ics.uci.edu:8080/

One final point: although sci.bio.evolution might seem to you to be a
natural place to discuss this topic, it isn't. s.b.e. was created
(ahem) with the explicit intent of avoiding this topic like the
plague, and the moderator, nasty power-mad ponytailed commie that he
is, rejects all such postings.

The web pages of the National Center for Science Education:

http://WWW.NatCenSciEd.org/

and the talk.origins archive:

http://rumba.ics.uci.edu:8080/faqs/

have discussions on this topic.
