Biodiversity Explorer is devoted to showing and explaining the diversity, biology and interactions of life on earth, particularly the life we have here in southern Africa (south of the Kuneni and Zambezi rivers). Our approach is to start with familiar organisms that we see or experience around us but which we know little about, and use them as a springboard to examining more unfamiliar topics. There is a huge body of scientific research that underpins our understanding of life on earth and the goal of Biodiversity Explorer is to draw on this research and present it in an understandable and integrated way. Biodiversity Explorer was first launched on 18 May 2000 (International Museums Day) and has been steadily growing in content and profile since then. We started with insects and spiders and are now expanding to other groups such as plants and vertebrates. ... [Information of the supplier]
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. ...

"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. ...

Built on the fundamental work "Die Schmetterlinge Baden-Württembergs" (ed. G. Ebert), interactive, current, sightings maps for all 1167 large butterfly species indigenous to Baden Württemberg, as well as reports of some small butterfly species, are shown on this internet site. After displaying the sighting map for a butterfly species, particular details can be accessed for each record. The data for butterflies in Baden-Württemberg were, and are, obtained by voluntary co-workers. They deserve special thanks, since without them the overview of our butterfly fauna would not have been possible. All data are collected in the central state databank for butterflies in the State Museum for Natural History, Karlsruhe (SMNK). There, historical evidence and current reports are united. The butterfly section of the department of entomology looks after the database. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
Did you know that thanks to a common little snail that you can find in your garden, in the park or under a hedge, you can see evolution in your own back yard? OK, so evolution is a very slow process. Life on Earth started about three-and-a-half billion years ago! It's the tiny changes accumulating over a long, long time that got us here. And you can see some of those tiny steps by joining the Evolution MegaLab. ... [Information of the supplier]
This species-level database includes data on 6,297,638 specimens representing 147,693 taxa. It does not include information on groups of arthropods normally kept in alcohol with the exception of the Trichoptera (caddis-flies) and Embiidina (web-spinners). It also does not include information on specimens out on loan (more than 700,000 specimens), and the approximately 3 million specimens gathered as part of the Madagascar Arthropod Biodiversity Project. This database includes a considerable amount of geographical information. The number of specimens was recorded for all species and subspecies for each country. Additionally, the number of specimens was recorded for each state of North America (Canada, U.S.A., and Mexico) and each island group of Indonesia and the Galapagos Archipelago. Finally, the number of specimens was recorded for each county of California. For China, provinces were divided between Palearctic and Oriental Regions. For Indonesia, islands were divided between Oriental and Australian Regions. For Mexico, states were divided between Nearctic and Neotropical Regions. Florida was considered entirely Nearctic, and Japan was considered to be entirely Palearctic. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
