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.

VertNet is a NSF-funded collaborative project that makes biodiversity data free and available on the web. VertNet is a tool designed to help people discover, capture, and publish biodiversity data. It is also the core of a collaboration between hundreds of biocollections that contribute biodiversity data and work together to improve it. VertNet is an engine for training current and future professionals to use and build upon best practices in data quality, curation, research, and data publishing. Yet, VertNet is still the aggregate of all of the information that it mobilizes. To us, VertNet is all of these things and more.

Ontario Reptile and Amphibian Atlas

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
Reptiles and amphibians are collectively known as herpetofauna and are a unique part of Ontario’s biodiversity. An earlier atlas, called the Ontario Herpetofaunal Summary Atlas, provided extensive information about where many of the province’s reptiles and amphibians occurred. The Atlas is transitioning into a new era, with Ontario Nature wrapping-up the data collection phase of this project as of December 1, 2019. Now that we have discontinued our app and online form, we encourage you to continue submitting any future observations through the ‘Herps of Ontario’ project (https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/herps-of-ontario) on iNaturalist or directly to the Natural Heritage Information Centre (nhicrequests@ontario.ca) for species at risk. To learn more about the transition, read our blog (https://ontarionature.org/ontario-reptile-and-amphibian-atlas-changes/)
