The Bavarian State Collection of Zoology hat inherited to build up the node "Evertebrata II" within GBIF Germany. Tasks and organisation struktur are shown under the marked hyperlinks. Beside the colleagues of the Bavarian State Collection of Zoology, collaborators from the museums of Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Cismar are participating. Another important partner is the SysTax-project, which provides the portal to show the data on the internet. ... [Information of the supplier]
The initial goal of the bibliography was to attempt to build a database of every published reference on freshwater mussels in North America. The project has grown to include freshwater mussels worldwide, gastropods, sphaeriids, corbiculids, and dreissenids. However, the references entered for those groups are far less comprehensive, particularly with respect to the literature pre-1980. All NABS bibliographies on freshwater mollusks since 1987 are included. The types of publications covered include: journals, books and book chapters, theses and dissertations, popular articles, and gray literature (government documents, consulting reports, etc.). Abstracts from symposia or conference proceedings have also been entered but are not exhaustive. This freshwater mollusk bibliography database is a collaborative effort by Kevin Cummings, Illinois Natural History Survey, Art Bogan, North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, Tom Watters, The Ohio State University Museum of Biological Diversity, and Christine Mayer, Illinois Natural History Survey. To date the bibliography database includes over 11,000 references on freshwater mollusks [as of Nov. 2003]. ... [Information of the supplier]

This side offers an interactive key which is meant to aid the identification of the non-insect aquatic macroinvertebrates found in the rivers and streams of North Dakota. It is primarily meant to be used by students, citizen groups, and professionals and be useful to implementing a biomonitoring program. This key is not a traditional dichotomous key. It includes many different groups such as snails, daphnia, crayfish, leeches, and oligochaetes. For some of the groups it goes all the way down to species level. Other groups may only go down to the Order, Family or Phylum level (the sponges and flatworms).The key has been based on 7 years of collections carried out by the North Dakota Department of Health and 5 years of collecting carried out by Dr. Andre DeLorme's macroinvertebrate lab at Valley City State University. A list with short biographies of the participating scientists completes the side. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The American Malacological Society is a dynamic international society of individuals and organizations with an active interest in the study and conservation of mollusks. Professional malacologists, students, and people devoted to observing, photographing, and learning about mollusks belong to AMS (formerly the American Malacological Union). The history of the organization dates back to its founding in 1931. Continuing interests of the AMS are: (a) Encouragement of students in malacology is a priority. Monetary awards for outstanding student papers and posters are presented at each annual meeting. (b) AMS recognizes the important role played by serious molluscan enthusiasts who often work with professional malacologists. They are encouraged to be active members. (c) Annual meeting activities include the book auction and reprint sales which support the AMS symposium fund. (d) The conservation of mollusks is a major concern to the AMS. The AMS policy concerning molluscan conservation prohibits the sale of shell or shell products at our meetings. Moreover, the Conservation Committee monitors environmental and legal aspects of problems relating to molluscan populations. ( e) Various organizations assemble each year at the AMS annual meeting to discuss topics pertinent to malacology. (f) The American Malacological Bulletin, published twice each year, contains peer-reviewed contributed articles and symposium papers. Special Editions of the Bulletin, containing topics of exceptional interest, are published as supplements. ... [Information of the supplier]
This site is dedicated to zooplankton of the Arctic ocean and adjacent seas. This is a diverse group of animals, which includes over 300 species and 9 phyla: cnidarians, ctenophores, crustaceans, molluscs, chaetognaths, rotifers, annelids, nemertines and chordates (i.e. tunicates). This project is done with the support of the Encyclopedia of Life Rubenstein fellows program and in partnership with the Arctic Ocean Diversity project. ... [Information of the supplier]
CLEMAM is a taxonomically oriented database of the marine Mollusca of Europe and adjacent areas, aiming to a comprehensive coverage of the species in the eastern Atlantic from 26°N to the North Pole, the Mid Atlantic Ridge and the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas. The database lists the species currently accepted as valid, thence for each one its basionym and all synonyms and questionable synonyms known to the CLEMAM editor. Subsequent references to the species are not exhaustive; these include "chresonyms" , and misidentifications. Page references are given for all entries registered after 1995, and are being completed gradually for the initial batch, where only a statement of the name, author and date of publication were given. There are currently about 17.000 references, of which ca. 3500 are valid names. CLEMAM aims as being the standing reference for the systematics of European Mollusca, as well as a tool for species-oriented bibliographic search. ... [Information of the supplier]
