Mittelmeer 1993. Cruise no. 25: 12 May - 20 August 1993

Cruise no. 25 of the German Research Vessel METEOR was devoted to the Mediterranean Sea. The cruise was divided into four legs. The first two legs dealed with biological programmes (deep-sea benthos, actuopaleontology, plankton and micronecton). During legs 3 and 4, geoscientific programmes in the area of the convergent African and Eurasian plates between the Ionian Sea and Cyprus were carried out. The present report contains a summary of the research objectives, cruise narratives and preliminary results. The cruise was funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.

PESI - A taxonomic backbone for Europe

Reliable taxonomy underpins communication in all of biology, not least nature conservation and sustainable use of ecosystem resources. The flexibility of taxonomic interpretations, however, presents a serious challenge for end-users of taxonomic concepts. Users need standardised and continuously harmonised taxonomic reference systems, as well as highquality and complete taxonomic data sets, but these are generally lacking for nonspecialists. The solution is in dynamic, expertly curated web-based taxonomic tools. The Pan-European Species-directories Infrastructure (PESI) worked to solve this key issue by providing a taxonomic e-infrastructure for Europe. It strengthened the relevant social (expertise) and information (standards, data and technical) capacities of five major community networks on taxonomic indexing in Europe, which is essential for proper biodiversity assessment and monitoring activities. The key objectives of PESI were: 1) standardisation in taxonomic reference systems, 2) enhancement of the quality and completeness of taxonomic data sets and 3) creation of integrated access to taxonomic information. New information This paper describes the results of PESI and its future prospects, including the involvement in major European biodiversity informatics initiatives and programs. © de Jong Y et al
