"Early Classics in Biogeography, Distribution, and Diversity Studies: To 1950" is a bibliography and full-text archive designed as a service to advanced students and researchers engaged in work in biogeography, biodiversity, history of science, and related studies. All items in the bibliography are primary sources and were published in 1950 or before. The subjects involved touch on fields ranging from ecology, conservation, systematics and physical geography, to evolutionary biology, cultural biogeography, paleobiology, and bioclimatology--but have in common a relevance to the study of geographical distribution and diversity. ...

This is a glossary of over 2,100 terms used in biological nomenclature - the naming of whole organisms of all kinds. It covers terms in use in the current editions of the different internationally mandated and proposed organismal Codes; i.e. those for botany (including mycology), cultivated plants, prokaryotes (archaea and bacteria), virology, and zoology, as well as the Draft BioCode and PhyloCode. The print version of the book is available online as a PDF document. Hard copies are planned with availability options currently under evaluation. GBIF also provides a web application serving the content of Terms Used in Bionomenclature. The web application features flexible search and browse capabilities with convenient grouping of terms around nomenclatural codes and term types. In addition, the glossary can be browsed and referenced using Semantic Web (Linked Data) features. ... [Information of the supplier]
A special tool on Pensoft Publisher's web site allows to dynamically harvest selected web resources and present the information linked to a certain taxon name on a separate webpage called the Pensoft Taxon Profile (PTP). The PTP module uses uBio as a source of taxon names and links them to either the uBio-harvested web resources or through Pensoft’s own web harvester. Pensoft Taxon Profiles can be created for any taxon name, independent of its rank or nomenclatural status. This aggregation into taxon pages is similar to that of other projects such as EOL, Scratchpads, iSpecies, BioLib, and iNaturalist.org. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
TraitBank(TM) is a searchable, comprehensive, open digital repository for organism traits, measurements, interactions and other facts for all taxa across the tree of life. TraitBank currently features over 3 million records related to more than 250 attributes for 272,720 taxa obtained from more than 25 data sources. Whether you are fact-finding or conducting analyses, we invite you to explore this new dimension to the Encyclopedia of Life (EoL). ... [Information of the supplier]
The Fauna Europaea project (EVR1-1999-20001) has been funded by the European Commission for a period of four years (1 March 2000 - 1 March 2004) within the Fifth Framework Programme (5FP). Fauna Europaea has assembled a database of the scientific names and distribution of all living multicellular European land and fresh-water animals. Experts in taxonomy have provided data of all species currently known in Europe. Together these data have formed a huge database, which will be accessible to everyone. The University of Amsterdam has coordinated the project, assisted by the University of Copenhagen and the National Museum of Natural History in Paris.The Fauna Europaea database will provide a unique reference for many groups such as scientists, governments, industries, conservation communities and educational programs. ...

The Boreal Songbird Network is a network of conservation and birding groups including the American Bird Conservancy, National Wildlife Federation, Ducks Unlimited, Natural Resource Defense Council, National Audubon Society, Defenders of Wildlife, and others interested in raising awareness in the U.S. and Canada about the importance of the Boreal Forest to North American migratory birds. This network works to educate and activate about the Boreal. Keeping the Boreal Forest message alive in the U.S. and making our voices heard in Canada will have global environmental implications. ...

Das Integrierte Fuchsprojekt IFP wurde 1995 ins Leben gerufen; ein interdisziplinäres Forschungs- und Kommunikationsprojekt zur Dynamik der Fuchsbestände in der Schweiz. Anlass zum Projekt gaben die stark ansteigenden Fuchspopulationen in der Schweiz und vielen anderen europäischen Ländern. Diese Zunahme war markant in ländlichen Gebieten, besonders ausgeprägt jedoch in Städten wie Zürich, Berlin, Brüssel oder Paris. Im Rahmen des Projektes wurde das Leben der Stadtzürcher Füchse erforscht. Mit Hilfe der Radiotelemetrie wurden die nächtlichen Wege von 22 erwachsenen Füchsen aufgezeichnet und ihre Tagesruheplätze ausfindig gemacht. Diese Beobachtungen gaben Aufschluss darüber, wo Stadtfüchse die Nacht und den Tag verbringen, was sie fressen, wo sie ihre Jungen zur Welt bringen und wie sie sich im Lebensraum Stadt zurechtfinden. ...

There are approximately 17,000 terrestrial, 500 freshwater, and 5,500 marine species of plants and animals in Hawai‘i. Bishop Museum, which has the world’s largest biological collections for Hawai‘i (about 4 million specimens) is conducting field surveys to document the distribution of these organisms and is organizing information from its collections and the associated scientific literature into comprehensive computerized databases. This information will be used to assist natural resource agencies in the proper management of Hawaii’s precious and rich biota for years to come. ... [Information of the supplier]
