Here is what I learned from member replies (thanks!), and from some other digging regarding listservs like ECOLOG. Specifically, I was seeking open interactive discussion lists (like ECOLOG), that allow any list member to post messages for distribution to the entire list.
Many are hosted by universities / research institutes, for example: https://listserv.uoguelph.ca/cgi-bin/wa?A0=ENTOMO-L http://www.lsoft.com/scripts/wl.exe?SL1=MAMMAL-L&H=SI-LISTSERV.SI.EDU https://lists.uvic.ca/mailman/listinfo/marmam http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=SUSTAG http://www.resecon.org/pages/1/index.htm https://list.auckland.ac.nz/sympa/info/aliens-l https://www.csun.edu/~hcbio028/bryonet.html http://mailman.nhm.ku.edu/mailman/listinfo/taxacom Some are associated with societies, and special interest networks, for example: http://www.entsoc.org/resources/Systematics_Resources/People https://list.auckland.ac.nz/sympa/info/math-smbnet http://asab.nottingham.ac.uk/web/mailinglist.php http://www.mycology.net/ Two sources look particularly useful for searching based on subject/topics/keywords: (1) Catalog of Listserv lists from L-Soft: http://www.lsoft.com/catalist.html (2) Catalog of forum lists from The Science Forum: http://www.thescienceforum.com/ Cheers, Lonnie Lonnie W.
