BUGZ is a user-friendly web interface designed to allow full-text search and retrieval of information from New Zealand’s largest compilation of invertebrate literature – the 'BUGS' bibliography (Ramsay & Crosby 1992). 'BUGZ' contains a literature database of 16,080 articles on the terrestrial invertebrates of New Zealand, published between 1775 and 1993 and provides full-text indexing of the more than 200,000 pages of text scanned from the articles of the BUGS bibliography. This massively enhances the search capabilities and subsequent access to archived information on the taxonomic status, life history, ecology, and conservation significance in the primary literature on New Zealand’s terrestrial invertebrates. Apart from the ability to undertake full-text searching, BUGZ is the first New Zealand biodiversity database to allow dynamic matching of its entire full-text database against the taxonomic namebank of uBio – the universal Biological indexer and organiser. Namebank is a reconciled list of over 8,000,000 taxonomic names (including homonyms, synonyms and common names) and creates a virtual link to an ever-increasing number of international biodiversity databases (e.g. GBIF, NCBI, ITIS, Species 2000) that may contain additional biodiversity information useful to the user. ...

TOXLINE consists of two components: TOXLINE Special and TOXLINE Core. TOXLINE Special is a TOXNET component created by merging all or selected records from several databases, some of which are archival (i.e., no longer being updated). The databases or portions thereof that are included are referred to as TOXLINE Special subfiles. The active collection consists of subfiles that are periodically updated. Most of TOXLINE's records contain abstracts, although some do not. Most of the above subfiles are indexed using keywords, although the vocabularies differ. You may search using specific controlled vocabulary terms for a subfile, if you are familiar with them. However, any terms you enter in the query box will automatically be searched against both the keyword and MeSH fields, in addition to other fields such as title, abstract, and author. TOXLINE Core is a MEDLINE subset of journal literature limited to toxicology and environmental health, and searchable via NLM's PubMed interface. TOXLINE Core is roughly equivalent to the former TOXBIB subfile of TOXLINE, which was also a MEDLINE subset. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The Pest Information Wiki has a literature database where each publication page contains information on which pests, diseases, or weeds the publication deals with. Related information like which research topic, host plants or field location (country or part of a country) the article has been covering can also be included in a publication page. These data can then be retrieved on other pages. For example, a page on a pest can then display lists of literature which are relevant to this pest, like lists sorted by research topics (e.g. Bibliography:Leptinotarsa decemlineata) or lists of distribution records or host plant records (e.g. see the top left in the page Leptinotarsa decemlineata). ...
