Avibase is an extensive database information system about all birds of the world, containing over 1.4 million records about 10,000 species and 22,000 subspecies of birds, including distribution information, taxonomy, synonyms in several languages and more. This site is managed by Denis Lepage and hosted by Bird Studies Canada, the Canadian copartner of Birdlife International. Avibase has been a work in progress for nearly 12 years and I am now pleased to offer it as a service to the bird-watching and scientific community. ... [Information of the supplier]

The present database documents the indigenous and non-indigenous freshwater fishes and cyclostomes, crabs and mussels found in the Federal German Republic. The bases are the individual fish registries of the federal states and the German Red List, prepared by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation. Currently, for 98 endangered fish and cyclostome species countrywide, the Latin, German and English names, species descriptions, population development, lifestyle, and photos are documented together with their references. Some population data are available. In addition 8 crab species are described with their Latin and German names and species description, as well as 7 mussel species with their Latin and German names. The nomenclature is based on the international database FishBase (Kiel). ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
The countrywide Natura 2000 area database offers search possibilities in the Natura 2000 areas in Germany and provides information about their protected resources. Precise area information can be accessed separately for bird protection, and flora and fauna habitat areas (FFH areas) by area number, area size, the occurrence of habitat types and Appendix II species or bird species (Appendix I and migratory-bird species) as well as an area description. The area selection is made through the choice of one or more Federal States. By clicking on the area number you obtain the appropriate area profile. Inside the area profile you obtain a habitat profile by clicking on a habitat code. Input of the whole or part of an area name gives you a further selection possibility on the start page of the bird protection or FFH areas. All statements are taken from the German standard data sheet submitted to the EU. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
The Great Region, located between Rhine, Mosel, Sarre and Meuse, has a total area of 65.401 km2. Biogeographically, it is spread over the oceanic and continental zones. The administrative complexity of the Great Region, four countries and five regional entities, offer a challenging opportunity for trans-boundary collaboration in terms of Nature Conservation. Since many years, administrations, scientists and naturalists gather primary biodiversity data that are crucial for science-based decisions making. This website offers a trans-boundary view on species observations related to Birds and Habitats Directive, this project will deliver a more accurate evaluation of Natura2000 network. By linking nature monitoring, scientific research and innovation technology, it exposes publically funded data to a wider public and raises biodiversity loss awareness. Bio-GR makes available data that are shared by several data publishers from the Greater Region. These data are shared according to the Data Usage Agreement, which includes the provision that users of any data accessed through or retrieved via the Bio-GR Portal will always give credit to the original data publishers. ...

The database BiolFlor contains almost 3660 species and more than 60 traits. This data results from several projects conducted in the Department of Community Ecology (UFZ - Centre for Environmental Research) over the last 10 years. It was thus possible to rework and enlarge a previously existing database. However, the work on BiolFlor will not be finished, yet. We will continuously try to improve the database, correct errors and expand the coverage of traits and their states. Registered users will be able to download updates in the future. A full documentation of BiolFlor (in German with English summaries and data tables, table captions and figure legends) including CD-ROM and registration key can be purchased from the Landwirtschaftsverlag. ...
