Here is some information on biodiversity databases I collected once. Someday I (or someone else) will hopefully move them into List of biodiversity databases.
Name | URL | Type | Focus | Collection |
---|---|---|---|---|
List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature | http://www.bacterio.cict.fr/ | Taxonomy | Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) | Taxon names, current status, changes over time. Includes new descriptions, subspecific splits, and those published outside the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology. |
Integrated Taxonomy Information System | http://www.itis.gov/ | Taxonomy | All life | Taxon names, current status, source information. |
NCBI Taxonomy | http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/taxonomy | Taxonomy | All life, some non-living things | Widely used in the Semantic Web community because of the taxonomy ontology. |
Mammal Species of the World, 3rd edition | http://www.bucknell.edu/msw3/ | Taxonomy | Mammals | Reasonably authoritative for mammals, does not have full references online. |
