Encyclopedia > Stazione Zoologica

The Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn is a research instituted in Naples, Italy, devoted to basic research in biology. Research is largely interdisciplinary involving the fields of evolution, biochemistry, molecular biology, neurobiology, cell biology, biological oceanography, marine botany, molecular plant biology, benthic ecology, and ecophysiology. The Stazione is also totally committed to a policy of promoting international cooperation in scientific research and cooperation with other Italian institutions. The Bay of Naples Naples (Italian: , Neapolitan: Nàpule, from Greek Νεάπολη < Νέα Πόλις Néa Pólis New City) is the largest city in southern Italy and capital of the Campania region and the Province of Naples. ... This article is about evolution in biology. ... Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes and transformations in living organisms. ... Molecular biology is the study of biology at a molecular level. ... Neurobiology is a branch of biology that is involved in the study of nervous systems of all animals from a biological and evolutionary perspective. ... Cell biology (also called cellular biology or formerly cytology, from the Greek kytos, container) is an academic discipline that studies cells. ... Marine life can be very abundant. ... In marine geology and biology, benthos are the organisms and habitats of the sea floor; in freshwater biology they are the organisms and habitats of the bottoms of lakes, rivers, and creeks. ...

Anton Dohrn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (851 words)
Dohrn rented two rooms for the "Stazione Zoologica di Messina", but quickly realized the technical difficulties of studying marine life without a permanent structure and support facilities, such as trained personnel and a library.
In order to promote the international status of the Stazione and to guarantee its economic and hence political independence and freedom of research, Dohrn introduced a series of innovative measures to finance his project.
The success of the Stazione Zoologica, and the new way of thinking and funding research are the main legacies of Dohrn.
STAZIONE ZOOLOGICA ANTON DOHRN - Activity Report 1991 (490 words)
An agreement has been entered into between the Stazione Zoologica and the Molecular Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole for the purpose of strengthening the scientific cooperation between Italy and the United States in the areas of biology, marine ecology, molecular evolution, and related sciences.
A bilateral agreement for a joint program in the field of the history of biology was concluded in December 1991 between the Stazione Zoologica and the Institute for the History of Science and Technology of the Moscow Academy of Science.
The object of the agreement is to highlight the role of the Stazione Zoologica in the development of biological sciences in Russia.
