Pennsylvania Biodiversity Partnership
PABIODIV Listserve
 
The Pennsylvania Biodiversity Listserve (PABIODIV) is a moderated e-mail group focused on biodiversity issues in Pennsylvania. PABIODIV is intended to promote discussion of topics related to Pennsylvania's biodiversity, including scientific and technical issues, legal and public policy dimensions, education, land stewardship, and information exchange. All viewpoints are welcome.
 
Messages will be reviewed by a moderator. To be distributed to the list, messages must adhere to the following:
 
Pertain to the topic of Pennsylvania biodiversity
Are of general interest (i.e., not directed to a single individual)
Do not contain commercial content
Do not contain inappropriate material
Do not contain derogatory statements against individuals or groups
Do not contain statements that can be construed as campaining for a political candidate or lobbying for a piece of ledgislation
 
Messages are limited to a maximum of ten per day. All messages must contain the sender's full name correct email address, affiliation if any, and an informative subject line. Messages that forward information from other emails or from published or posted articles must indicate the source of the information (original sender, webpage, publication). Messages that forward published articles will be acceptable to the list only if they include a statement of permission from the copyright holder. Messages that summarize the article and provide a link to a full version that is posted to the web are acceptable without a copyright permission statement. Messages containing forwarded articles should include a brief statement explaining the article's relevance to conservation of Pennsylvania's biodiversity. Because the host computer cannot send attachments to PABIODIV subscribers, all information should be included in the body of the email.
 
The listserve is hosted by the Allegheny Institute of Natural History, University of Pittsburgh-Bradford and is moderated by the Pennsylvania Biodiversity Partnership. The primary list moderator is Dr. Ken Klemow, Professor of Biology at Wilkes University and Chair of PBP's Biodiversity Informatics Task Force. The moderator reserves the right to remove formatting tags and improve readability of messages passing through the host computer. The moderator will not edit messages for grammar, spelling, or content.
 
You can subscribe to the list by sending the message "subscribe pabiodiv" (no quotations needed) to [email protected]. To recieve a welcome message, type "intro PABIODIV" (no quotations needed) on the second line of the body of the message. You will receive a message from the University of Pittsburgh-Bradford server informing you that your name has been submitted to the moderator for approval.
