The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) system, Internet archive and Sociobiology

For scientific papers, a number of publishers have developed and agreed on a system called DOI, a way of identifying documents that is guaranteed never to change, so that it will not be necessary to update the URLs for these documents.

When you encounter a DOI number there are two possibilities to link to the document:
adding http://dx.doi.org/ in front of it, e.g. for DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2006.11.024 you get the URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ympev.2006.11.024
or:
Open the following DOI site in your browser:  http://dx.doi.org
Enter the entire DOI number, (e.g.: 10.1016/j.ympev.2006.11.024) in the text box provided, and then click Go.

For some publishers the DOI is part of the URL, for example:
http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1365-294X.2006.03219.x
The DOI is the number which follows /doi/abs/:  10.1111/j.1365-294X.2006.03219.x

Internet Archive :
The URLs listed were all working in May 2007. If you find the link does not work any longer, you can try copying it into the "waybackmachine", of the internet archive, see:  http://www.archive.org/index.php and look for a page before May 2007.
Be careful, the machine already has "http:// ..." -so you may have to remove this.

Sociobiology:
A number of articles on termites can be found in the journal Sociobiology. Abstracts are available on its website:
http://www.csuchico.edu/biol/Sociobiology/sociobiologyindex.html
There is also the possibility of finding Sociobiology abstracts and ordering the full document through CAT.INIST, which is part of the French public CNRS:
This can be done by visiting www.google.com and searching for cat inist and sociobiology volume number and page, or key words from the title (e.g. search: cat inist sociobiology 41 123).
