Within the EU project DAISIE
<a href="file:///\\redir.asp?lid=0&newsite=http:\www.europe-aliens.org">
http://www.europe-aliens.org</a> a European Alien Species Expertise
Registry has now been established. This registry intends to collect the
expertise of experts for species that are actually alien in Europe or may
become so. Thus, unlike its title, we want to gather the expertise of
experts from all over the world, since species alien to Europe arrive
from throughout the world. <br>
<br>
The expertise registry contains details for individual experts with
respect to taxonomic expertise, geographic units, and thematic areas
(such as distribution, conservation, restoration, ecology, economical
impact, genetics, legislation, administration, management, control,
pathways, transportation, physiology, and risk assessment). <br>
<br>
One of our purposes is to evaluate where areas of taxonomic expertise
needs to be developed. We also hope that it will be of some value
to you when making searches and for making contacts world-wide. The
DAISIE registry is open to all members of the public, for governmental
bodies and for stakeholders. <br>
<br>
Please take the time to register at
<a href="file:///\\redir.asp?lid=0&newsite=http:\daisie.ckff.si">
http://daisie.ckff.si</a> the registry should be self
explanatory, and it will takes only 5 minutes. We would be grateful if
you could forward this message to other experts who you consider may be
interested. <br><br>
