• teachers & study site organizers
  We are building a network of research sites at schools, parks, and other areas in North America. At these sites we will teach science through "hands-on" participation in Bee Hunt! -- our study of the impact of climate change and other factors on plants, pollinators, and other study organisms. On Earth Day, 22 April, 2010, in partnership with the Great Sunflower Project, we propose to have people at 1,000 study sites take and upload digital photographs to Discover Life that will document species distributions and interactions. Teachers and other individuals who wish to help us set up study sites should email Nancy Lowe nancy@discoverlife.org or call USA-404-272-4526.

• photographers
  We hope to share high-quality images for a million species through the generosity of our photographers around the world. If you wish to submit photographs, please email Jill Talmadge dl@discoverlife.org or call USA-706-248-9287. She will help you upload your images. You retain full ownership and copyright to them.

• scientific contributors
  Researchers who wish to contribute information such as taxonomic authority lists, catalogs, specimen level databases for mapping, or identification guides should email John Pickering pick@discoverlife.org or call USA-706-542-1115. Depending on their scope, they may be submitted to our reviewed electronic publication, the Proceedings of Life.

• websites
  Scientific websites who wish to share information with Discover Life through reciprocal deep links to taxonomic pages should email Jill Talmadge dl@discoverlife.org or call USA-706-248-9287. For technical details of how to link to Discover Life's content see Web services, particularly "Customizing navigation bars" to return users to your site. If you wish us to index your taxon pages and link to them, please contact us so that we can customize a solution to include your content. Depending on the layout of your site, we may need you to create an index of your site's pages.
