Manduca sexta on the Web

• A large collection of information concerned with Manduca sexta (Carleton College, Minnesota).
• Valuable background information (University of Texas, El Paso).
• The conspecific Pheromone Blend (Pherolist).

Neuroscience Links

• Neuroguide: Search engine with a focus on neuroscience.
• PubMed: Free Medline for everyone.
• The Virtual Library, Bio Sciences: Links to a huge number of biology websites.
• Biological Journals and Abbreviations: Lists most biological journals, the abbrevs. of their titles, and many links to their homepages.

Below I listed a few websites that feature helpful services for a neuroscientist. They offer free access to many articles as full text or PDF files, literature search engines, job ads, and more. Although they want you to register, you have the opportunity to disable email alerts and other things you might find annoying - such as "information about useful new products from third party suppliers" ;-)
