It would also be important that its past is always kept in mind, not only to avoid its repetition as Santayana would affirm, but also to incorporate it with pride and respect to a pathway not always linear but never ceasing to be bright.

Extractions: Collections scope Expertise Sampling Documentation ... Zoology SYS-RESOURCE: Botany The collections Geographical range Worldwide coverage is one of the major strengths of the collections. Inevitably some areas, such as the British Isles and the former British Empire, are better represented than others, such as the eastern Palaearctic. Other areas that are well represented include for flowering plants the Himalayas, north Africa and Mesoamerica, and for bryophytes and lichens Antarctica, the Mascarenes, Malesia and temperate parts of the Southern Hemisphere. Historical range The earliest specimens in the collection date from the last decade of the 16th century. New material continues to be added to the collections, so that they span 400 years. The collections provide information on what was growing where throughout this time, and also provide an insight into the progress in plant taxonomy throughout the last 500 years. Current priority areas for collecting The 1961 Morton Agreement with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew gave the Museum special responsibility for the vascular plant floras of the British Isles, Europe, and North and Central America. Consequently, comparatively little vascular plant material from other areas has been added to the Museumís collections since then.

Extractions: In conducting their research, economic botanists often must confront difficult ethical issues related both to their data collection needs and methods, and to the dissemination and use of their findings. Since economic botanists are a diverse group with greatly varying scientific backgrounds and professional affiliations, their ethical problems are both diverse and complex. This document presents guidelines for professional behavior for members of the SOCIETY FOR ECONOMIC BOTANY MEMBERS OF THE SOCIETY FOR ECONOMIC BOTANY HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE PUBLIC. They will strive to use their knowledge, skills, and training to enhance the well-being of humankind. They will specifically refuse to work professionally on any research that will result in harm being done to anyone.

http://www.ib.uj.edu.pl/enauka.htm

Extractions: The Institute of Botany at the Jagiellonian University is one of the largest and most significant centres of botanical studies in Poland and Central Europe. The scope of studies covers a wide range of disciplines, many of which represent world class research. The co-operation of specialists of various branches of botany under one roof results in many multi-disciplinary research projects. The scope of the cooperation with other research centres in both Poland and abroad, is also extensive. The research in our Institute concentrates on plant material in the Aristotelian sense, i.e. on assimilating plants (from various systematic groups), the domain of fungi and symbiotic organism jointly classified with them, such as lichens, and on the domain of exposed cytoplasm, i.e. slime moulds. These research topics are studied by using the methods of various branches of modern biology represented in the Institute, such as: ecology, plant geography, taxonomy, embryology, cytology, palaeobotany, and others.

Extractions: The Centro Oriental de Ecosistemas y Biodiversidad (BIOECO), of the Ministerio de Ciencias, Tecnologia y Medio Ambiente (CITMA) is structured in two divisions - the Natural Sciences and the Botanical Gardens. The division of Natural Sciences is composed of the research groups and the Natural History Museum "Tomas Romay." The research groups are formed by 70 specialists that dedicate themselves to the study of taxonomy, systematics, ecology, biogeography and ethnobotany. The taxonomic and systematic studies are centered mainly on inferior plants (briophytae and Pteriodophytas) and in the invertebrate (Diptera, Humenoptera, Arachnida and Crustacea). In these groups and the others (Freshwater fishes, reptiles and birds), ecological and biogeographical studies are also done, including the application of GIS. The Center has three herbariums with more than 8600 specimens and a zoological collection of invertebrates and vertebrates.

Growing world population continues to increase the need for better food supplies. Environmental concerns, such as air, water and soil pollution, will create openings for ecologists in government and industry. The search for new drugs and medicines and useful genes for improving crop plants will continue to create a need for botanical explorers. Educational institutions , which employ most plant biologists, range from high schools and community colleges to universities. High schools and community colleges have few openings for those who wish to teach specialized courses and there is little time or equipment for research activity. Nevertheless, for botanists who primarily enjoy teaching, such positions are very satisfying. Most positions for professional plant scientists are in colleges and universities. Almost all colleges and universities offer courses in plant science and there are faculty positions for botanists who have different specialties. In addition, educational institutions employ botanists as researchers and as administrators.

Extractions: In February 1992, William Louis Culberson, then president of the Botanical Society of America (BSA), appointed a steering committee charged with providing a framework for identifying research and educational goals, priorities, and opportunities in the botanical sciences as we approach the 21st century. In order to facilitate the widest possible input from the botanical community, a questionnaire was prepared to solicit information from members of the Society. The questionnaire consisted of two parts, one of which solicited numerical data and the other opinion. Questionnaires were also sent to selected members of five related societies, in order to broaden the survey further, In December 1992, the Wisconsin Survey Research Laboratory mailed questionnaires to 2,602 individuals, 2,225 of whom were members of the BSA. The response to the questionnaire was most gratifying; a total of 1,269 questionnaires were returned, or 48.8 percent. Fourteen committees were established , representing all except the historical and regional sections of the Society, and charged with drafting a report on the current priorities and concerns for its area or discipline. Ten societies participated with the Botanical Society in drafting the reports: American Bryological and Lichenological Society with the Bryological and Lichenological Section; Society for Economic Botany with the Economic Botany Section; Mycological Society of America with the Microbiological Section; Phycological Society of America with the Phycological Section; American Society of Plant Physiologists with the Physiological Section; International Society of Chemical Ecology and Phytochemical Society of North America with the Phytochemical Section; American Fern Society with the Pteridological Section; American Society of Plant Taxonomists with the Systematics Section; and Association for Tropical Biology with the Tropical Biology Section.
