 single chemical toxicity information for aquatic and terrestrial life. ECOTOX is a useful tool for examining impacts of chemicals on the environment. Peer-reviewed literature is the primary source of information encoded in the database. Pertinent information on the species, chemical, test methods, and results presented by the author(s) are abstracted and entered into the database. Another source of test results is independently compiled data files provided by various United States and International government agencies. ECOTOX is a unified interface providing access to three U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) ecological effects databases: AQUIRE (all aquatic species including freshwater and marine); TERRETOX (terrestrial animal mainly wildlife); and PHYTOTOX (terrestrial plant). Ecology, Toxicology.
- ERIC (http://www.eric.ed.gov/) – The Education Resources Information Center
- Sponsored by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education, produces the world's premier database of journal and non-journal education literature. The ERIC Database indexes and abstracts education and education related journals, studies and reports, with links to full-text studies and reports from 1993 forward,
- EURCA Alternatives Database (http://www.eurca.org/resources.asp)
- An information-rich database of alternatives, evaluations and independent reviews (commissioned by eurca). Visitors are informed on the pedagogical quality of alternative models through an independent evidence-based alternatives review process. The suitability of a model is assessed, based on a selection of criteria, such as: support of the 3R's concept; feasibility of implementation in Higher Education; interactive character; availability for evaluation, and the recommendations by experts in the field.
- Fish, Fisheries & Aquatic Biodiversity Worldwide (http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip,uid&profile=ehost&defaultdb=ffw)
- Covers fish, fisheries and aquaculture, including biology, genetics, natural history, behavior, diseases, parasites, limnology and oceanography, habitat management, culture, propagation, fish processing, marketing, and fisheries management.
- ICCVAM (http://iccvam.niehs.nih.gov/) – Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods
- ICCVAM Develop and validate new test methods; establish criteria and processes for the validation and regulatory acceptance of toxicological testing methods; generate, use, or provide information from toxicity test methods for risk assessment purposes.
- INVITTOX (http://ecvam.jrc.it/index.htm)
- Data bank of in vitro techniques in toxicology. The aim of INVITTOX protocols is to present precise and up-to-date technical information of the performance of the in vitro techniques currently in use and under development, their applications, advantages and drawbacks. The information is obtained directly from those scientists already employing such methods. Each protocol includes a detailed methodology sufficient to enable another researcher to carry out a procedure, experimental data, where available, the rationale for choice of technique and endpoint, and critical assessment comments about the accuracy of the system, its sensitivity, ease of implementation, shortcomings, etc.
- JAX Resources (http://www.jax.org/index.html)
- Supports and provides access to a variety of tools: Mice Database, Mouse Genome Informatics, International Mouse Strains Resources, Mouse Resources, and Informational Resources.
- NCI Mouse Models (http://emice.nci.nih.gov/)
- The NCI Mouse Models of Human Cancers Consortium (MMHCC) is a collaborative program designed to derive and characterize mouse models, and to generate resources, information, and innovative approaches to the application of mouse models in cancer research.In addition to the MMHCC initiative, the NCI sponsors numerous other projects to develop, analyze, and apply mouse cancer models. This site is intended to provide the cancer research community with information about mouse models and mouse research genera
