More than half of the world's plant and animal species live in rainforests and some animals can only be found in rainforests, which means that if rainforests are destroyed, these incredible animals will lose their homes.

The web application of the Diseases Database is intended as an 'aide memoir' and World Wide Web springboard for medically qualified health professionals and medical students. The Database itself provides A classification of medical concepts along clinical axes (e.g. cause-effect, risk factors, interactions etc) rather than hierarchies of anatomical, physiological or pathological systems.

The list of plant names is available here: http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/select_lists/plant_taxon_list.txt It includes over 6,000 scientific names along with the number of photos we have for that species. This text file is in delimited format so that it can be parsed by a program or loaded into a speadsheet or database. It is updated nightly.

We do not have staff at CalPhotos that can identify plants and animals, but we do keep a list of resources that might be helpful. Please see Identifying Plants and Animals for resources you can use to identify plants, insects, and other creatures.

We are building our Gallery as fast as time and money allow. Many species do not have readily available images. Try searching for additional photos using one of the Web search engines, and check More Accounts and Images and Related Web Sites at the PLANTS Profile.

We do not have the resources to maintain these! Whilst most human diseases are represented in one or more mammals, there are thousands of disorders affecting other mammals which do not afflict humans. Diseases of non-human animals that may be transmitted to or from man (Zoonoses) are of course included. Arguably each species warrants its own Diseases Database 'subset'.

This information is available at the California Department of Food and Agriculture website. Their URL is: http://www.cdfa.ca.gov. The California Highway Patrol has received many inquiries from people who have seen this message on the Internet. The simple answer is, it is not true. Of course, as a law enforcement agency we would caution people not to do anything in their vehicles which could anger or upset other drivers. But to our knowledge, nothing of this sort has taken place.

First, learn to identify invasive plant species and report new sightings. Always make sure you record and mark the location, species (if known) and the approximate size of the population. Give this information to the nearest land management agency or extension service. The following websites are a good place to find information on identifying invasive species: This is the USDA Invasive Species website and contains lots of information on Federal noxious and invasive species management.

No. Which species we plant in any year will depend upon the availability of quality seeds and seedlings, and the availability of planting areas within the farms which match each species' requirements.

There are plant 100+ species in PlantsUBQ database. The best curated species are Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa.

It is an offence to release into the wild a bird or animal that is of a kind not normally resident in Great Britain, unless you obtain a licence to do so. This ban extends to many foreign animals that have become established here, such as the grey squirrel, and also to some native species, such as the barn owl. It is also an offence to sell or release to the wild a short list of highly invasive plants.
