A CD containing a huge collection
of images of New Zealand freshwater invertebrates.

sample images (New Zealand) »
The CD contains over
500 high resolution (AutoMontage) images in PowerPoint format, featuring
the vast majority of taxa (150 or so genera) that you're likely to find
(and quite a few rarities). It's designed to help inexperienced biologists,
from sch ool level to professionals, by showing the features referred
to in scientific keys (making invertebrate identifications a whole lot
easier).
Freshwater invertebrates are used by many organisations as indicators
of water and habitat quality. Regional Councils, some City/District Councils
and many environmental groups use them as indicators in "state of
environment" surveys. The Department of Conservation use them in
various types of resource assessments and environmental education programmes.
Developers and their consultants use them in "assessments of environmental
effects" relating to proposed urban development. Resource consent
holders (industries and local authorities) and their consultants use
them in "consent
compliance" monitoring programmes. Anglers look at stream invertebrates
when deciding which flies/lures to use. All of these groups need to know
what they're looking at and this CD will certainly help.
If you're intetrested, the CD can be ordered
from Stephen Moore (contact details below) at a cost of $100 +GST.
The CD comes with the usual copyright "do
not copy" stuff, but use of the images in PowerPoint presentations,
(with acknowledgement of Landcare Research) is fine.
