 | | Invertebrate biologists contribute to the understanding of the health of the environment as well as to the health of our own species. | | | For example, zebra mussels from Europe were accidentally introduced in to the Great Lakes where they can form clusters of thousands of individuals, smothering native organisms and changing lake ecology. | | | Professional life is a real mosaic of activities - talking with students, debating issues with colleagues, laboratory work and field work. |

| | Invertebrate Technical Committee |
| | Invertebrates as a group are the dominant element of biodiversity in natural systems, second only to plants in biomass and unsurpassed in terms of the nature and number of their ecological associations and interactions (Wilson 1987). | | | Many other Pennsylvania invertebrates were included in revisionary treatments of specific families or genera but such information has not been summarized or reviewed in a meaningful or useful manner for management or conservation purposes. | | | Unlike more widely dispersed studies of vertebrates and plants, such an effort for invertebrates will be accomplished most effectively by establishing a central information system to coordinate and support inventory work by specialists and their supporting institutions. |

| | ARS Publication request: Definitions of Pathogenicity and Virulence in Invertebrate Pathology |
| | Although the usage of the terms pathogenicity and virulence varies in the invertebrate pathology literature, we found considerable constancy in invertebrate pathology textual definitions of these terms throughout the history of the discipline and among related disciplines such as medicine and microbiology. | | | Our objective was to examine definitions and usage of pathogenicity and virulence in invertebrate pathology, and respond to this previously published article on the subject. |

| | Many of the earliest geologists utilized fossils simply as characteristic components of specific rock units unknowingly applying rudimentary evolutionary theory to their study of rocks. | | | As such, modern paleontologists must be as proficient in geology as they are in the biological sciences. | | | In the past century the science of paleontology has grown and evolved from a science of "collect and describe" to one that integrates sedimentological, ecological, and evolutionary principles into a cohesive discipline that bounds the life and earth sciences. |
