Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
Museum explorers travel to ocean depths, the peaks of the Andes, Africa's Rift Valley, the rainforests of South America, and the deserts of Central Asia. Perhaps even to a field site or research institution in your own state, territory or country. In each area, researchers collect specimens: fossils, minerals, and rocks, plants and animals, tools and artworks. Collections care professionals have meticulously preserved, labeled, cataloged, and organized items of this kind for more than 150 years. Taken together, the NMNH collections form the largest, most comprehensive natural history collection in the world. By comparing items gathered in different eras and regions, scientists learn how our world has varied across time and space.

National Biodiversity Information System of Mexico

Sistema Nacional de Información sobre Biodiversidad de México

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
The National Biodiversity Information System (SNIB) of Mexico by the National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (CONABIO). The SNIB is of strategic importance in a megadiversity country like Mexico, making it clear to CONABIO from the beginning that the SNIB should rely on the work of the multiplicity of institutions and national and foreign experts that for years have been dedicated to the study of biodiversity of Mexico. The creation of this system was expressed as a mandate for CONABIO in the General Law of Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection (LGEEPA Art. 80 fraction V). The participation of specialists in the generation of data and information for the SNIB is one of the various ways in which they collaborate with this system, since having an information system that allows the country to make informed decisions regarding its biodiversity requires that it be made up of data and information supported by a broad network of experts.

BioImages - Virtual Field-Guide

Virtual Field-Guide to UK Biodiversity

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
This site offers an enormous collection of photographs of wild species and natural history objects. It covers most groups of organisms with the exception of birds and other vertebrates. The photographs are presented to illustrate biodiversity and as an aid to identification. The criterion for inclusion of a species is that it must have been, or might be expected to be, found in Britain or Ireland. BioImages follows the biological classification. Biota is a hierarchical system with species grouped in genera, genera in families, families in orders and so on up to kingdoms and superkingdoms. The datasets are linked to bioinfo: food webs and species interactions in the Biodiversity of UK and Ireland.

IndExs – Index of Exsiccatae

Index of Exsiccatae

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
"IndExs" is a database comprising information on exsiccatae (=exsiccatal series) with titles, abbreviations, bibliography and provides a unique and persistent Exsiccata ID for each series. Exsiccatae are defined as "published, uniform, numbered sets of preserved specimens distributed with printed labels" (Pfister 1985). Please note that there are two similar latin terms: "exsiccata, ae" is feminine and used for a set of dried specimens as defined above, whereas the term "exsiccatum, i" is neutral and used for dried specimens in general. If available, images of one or more examplary labels are added to give layout information.

Vitis International Variety Catalogue

VIVC

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
In 1984 the establishment of the Vitis International Variety Catalogue (VIVC) took place at the Institute for Grapevine Breeding Geilweilerhof. The concept of a database on grapevine genetic resources was supported by IBPGR (today called Bioversity) and the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV). Today VIVC is an encyclopedic database with around 23000 cultivars, breeding lines and Vitis species, existing in grapevine repositories and/or described in bibliography. It is an information source for breeders, researchers, curators of germplasm repositories and interested wine enthusiasts. Besides cultivar specific passport data, SSR-marker data, comprehensive bibliography and photos are to be found.

China Tropical Crop Germplasm Resources Information Network

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
The National Tropical Plant Germplasm Repository, supported by the Institute of Tropical Crop Variety Resources of the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences (CATAS) and jointly constructed by 11 units including the Institute of Fruit Tree Research of the Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Hainan University, aims to provide information and physical support for scientific and technological innovation in tropical crop seed industry, increase the income of farmers in hot regions, alleviate poverty, the "One Belt One Road" initiative and the National Tropical Agricultural Science Centre. The National Centre for Tropical Agricultural Sciences (NCTAS) provides information and physical support for tropical crop germplasm resources. The National Tropical Plant Germplasm Repository consists of a national medium-term tropical crop germplasm preservation repository, a medium-term tropical forage preservation repository and 12 national nurseries, covering 24 crops in nine categories, including rubber trees, tropical forage, tropical fruit trees, tropical oilseeds, tropical aromatic beverages, southern medicine, tropical grains, tropical flowers and tropical special vegetables, with more than 26,000 copies of resources, accounting for more than 90% of the total tropical crop germplasm resources in China. The resources account for more than 90% of the total amount of tropical crop germplasm resources in China. It has built an efficient management system and a stable human resources team, a conservation system that combines centralized conservation in germplasm banks and moderate distribution in germplasm nurseries, a technical specification system for the unified description of germplasm resources of major tropical crops, and an integrated system for the conservation and utilization of China's tropical crop germplasm resource information network, ensuring the efficient operation and sustainable development of the national tropical crop germplasm resource bank.

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and proudly operated by Battelle, the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) program provides open, continental-scale data across the United States that characterize and quantify complex, rapidly changing ecological processes. The Observatory’s comprehensive design supports greater understanding of ecological change and enables forecasting of future ecological conditions. NEON collects and processes data from field sites located across the continental U.S., Puerto Rico, and Hawaii over a 30-year timeframe. NEON provides free and open data that characterize plants, animals, soil, nutrients, freshwater, and the atmosphere. These data may be combined with external datasets or data collected by individual researchers to support the study of continental-scale ecological change.

Canadian Wildland Fire Information System

Système canadien d'information sur les feux de végétation

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
The Large Fire Database (LFDB) is a compilation of forest fire data from all Canadian agencies, including provinces, territories, and Parks Canada. The data set includes only fires greater than 200 hectares in final size; these represent only a few percent of all fires but account for most of the area burned (usually more than 97%). Therefore, the LFDB can be used for spatial and temporal analyses of landscape-scale fire impacts. For information on smaller fires (up to 200 ha in final size), please contact individual fire agencies. Links to other agencies can be found through the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC).

DEEMY

Determination of Ectomycorrhizae

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
DEEMY is collecting descriptive data on ectomycorrhizae, including extant character descriptions and definitions. Ectomycorrhizae are mutualistic structures formed by fungi and the roots of forest trees. They are predominantly found in the temperate and boreal climate zones but occur also in humid tropic regions, as well as in soils of poor nutrition. Without mycorrhizae, trees would not be able to take up water and minerals. Ectomycorrhizae show a wide range of anatomical diversity which represents their possible function in tree nutrition and ecology. Their anatomical data, in general, allow a quick determination and provide at the same time ecologically important information about possible functions for tree nutrition.
