"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. ...

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]
The Biodiversity Data Bank wants to be a compilation of all Catalonia biodiversity information. It is developed by the computerisation of all Catalonia species available records. The record computerisation is completed by supplementary data, like biology, distribution, ecology, etc. The aim in project is to know and to compile the maximum number of bibliographic records about Catalonia biodiversity. This records are the information source of the Data Bank. This knowledges will allow us to know, moreover the distribution species and biological data, its conservation status and degrees of threat, rareness, endemicity, etc. Data regarding cormophytic flora, vegetation, fungi, vertebrates and arthropods has been computerised nowadays, thanks to an agreement between the Barcelona University and the Environment Department of the Generalitat of Catalonia. ...

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 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. ...

"Faune de France" is a series of reference publications for naturalists, edited by the Fédération Française des Sociétés de Sciences Naturelles. Since 1921, 90 faunistic volumes have been published, covering groups as diverse as vertebrates, mollusks, and arthropods. [Information of the supplier, translated and modified]
E-Fauna BC is an electronic atlas of the fauna of British Columbia. It provides detailed scientific information on the wildlife species of the province for use in conservation, education and research. When complete, E-Fauna BC will provide information on both vertebrate (animals with backbones) and invertebrate (animals without backbones) species in the province, including familiar animals such as bears and wolves, and less familiar animals such sea stars and sea cucumbers, insects, spiders and ticks, and much more. The aim of the atlas is to function as a centralized, freely available, "one-stop shop" for wildlife information in the province. ... [Information of the supplier]
Die FLAGH (Faunistische Landesarbeitsgemeinschaft Hessen) ist ein Zusammenschluß von faunistischen Arbeitsgemeinschaften in Hessen. In diesen sind ehrenamtliche Faunisten tätig. Sie stehen in enger Verbindung zu Faunisten in Behörden, Planungsbüros und an Universitäten und Forschungseinrichtungen. Zentrales Ziel der FLAGH ist die biologisch-ökologische Landeserforschung (Biodiversitätsforschung). Zur Erfüllung dieses Ziels sind unter anderem vorgesehen: Durchführung von Veranstaltungen und Exkursionen, Aufbau eines Beifangnetzwerks, Auswertungen von Gutachten/Grauer Literatur, Verwaltung erhobener Daten in einer einheitlichen EDV-Datenbank, Vereinfachung von behördlichen Ausnahmegenehmigungen. ...
