Der Arbeitskreis zur Kartierung und zum Schutz der Heuschrecken in Nordrhein-Westfalen hat sich 1990 gegründet und stützt sich ausschließlich auf die ehrenamtliche Arbeit von über 250 Mitarbeiter. In einer zentralen Datenbank werden alle Meldungen von Heuschrecken (Caelifera und Ensifera) aus Nordrhein-Westfalen gesammelt und aktuelle Verbreitungskarten erstellt. Des Weiteren unterstützt und koordiniert der Arbeitskreis die Forschung und Veröffentlichung von Forschungsergebnissen und führt Bestimmungskurse durch. ... [Information des Anbieters, verändert]
The Phasmid Study Group (PSG) is an international community of hobbyists and amateur and professional entomologists interested in the rearing and studying of the order Phasmida - the stick insects and leaf insects (known as walkingsticks in the USA). It was formed in 1980. The society publishes a quarterly Newsletter and the biannual journal Phasmid Studies. The website is connected with the Phasmida SpeciesFile (A World Phasmid Catalogue)and provides the only fully authoritative version of the Phasmid Study Group Culture List (sometimes called the Phasmid Study Group Species List). The PSG offers lots of information about the order from one place. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The Mantis Study Group (MSG) is an international community of hobbyists and amateur and professional entomologists interested in the rearing and studying of the order Mantodea. It was founded by Phil Bragg on 18th May 1996. Their site is intended as a resource for anybody working on praying mantids and offers general information, a Database of Publications (including some which are available to download) and a complete set of MSG Newsletters. ...

The Blattodea Species File (BSF) is a taxonomic database of the scientific names of the world's cockroaches (order Blattodea or Blattaria), excluding fossil species and the termites. Note that until recently the termites were treated as a separate order, Isoptera, but recent work confirms that they are a lineage of cockroaches. The BSF has full synonymic information for about 4,560 valid cockroach species and it currently contains a total of approximately 6,420 scientific names (all ranks, valid and not valid). In the future we aim to include (amongst other things) images of specimens in museums (especially types), plus pictures of living cockroaches in the wild and in captivity. ...

This taxonomic checklist includes all Collembola species of the world with all valid names and a complete list of synonyms in their original combinations with authors and dates. The checklist is a reflection of the current literature and is kept up to date with newly published papers. This working document is a discussion platform to share opinions on nomenclature, taxonomy, systematics and phylogenetics. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The aim of the Orthoptera of the British Isles Recording Scheme is to collating records of Orthoptera (grasshoppers and crickets) and allied insects (cockroaches, earwigs, mantids and stick insects) through on-line recording. This information will be used to monitor the abundance and distribution of these species and assess changes. All records are made publicly available via the NBN Gateway after validation and also appear on the species accounts. General and detailed information about these groups combined with short videos complete the site. The ideal home experiment shows children how to care for an insect. ...

The Phasmida Species File (PSF) is a taxonomic database of the world's Phasmida (stick and leaf insects, known as walking sticks and walking leaves in the U.S.). It uses Species File Software (SFS), a collection of programs that provides access to and manipulation of taxonomic information stored in multiple databases. SFS also defines a standardized user interface to facilitate interactions with the database. The database contains full synonymic and taxonomic information for over 2,940 valid species and over 4,500 taxonomic names (all ranks, valid and not valid). There are c. 26,000 citations to c. 2,300 references. There are also over 5900 specimen records and 9,000 images of two thirds of valid species, with more being added to on a regular basis. Keys to taxa will be added at a later stage. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Mantodea Species File (MSF) is a taxonomic database of the world's praying mantids (Order Mantodea), both of fossil and living species. It uses Species File Software (SFS), a collection of programs that provides access to and manipulation of taxonomic information stored in multiple databases. SFS also defines a standardized user interface to facilitate interactions with the database. The MSF has full synonymic and taxonomic information for over 2,400 valid species. A future aim of this database is to provide images of the specimens deposited in museums worldwide (especially types), as well as pictures of living praying mantids in the wild and in captivity. ...
