Click here for instructions on searching this data set. To search the data set, enter one or more words from the scientific name in which you are interested into the appropriate fields of the form. For example, enter family names in the Family name field, Genus names in the Genus name field etc. The Taxon name field allows for searches at ranks not covered in the other fields eg subspecies, section etc. The Rank name field will return names at any given rank, eg. select genus from the popup list to restrict the hits to the rank genus. The results of the searches from each field will be combined using a logical AND. N.B. To lookup Gentiana acaulis L., enter: Gentiana in the genus name field, and acaulis in the Species name field.

CAS - Catalog of Fishes: Richard van der Laan is now a co-author of the Catalog of Fishes. This becomes Eschmeyer, W. N., R. Other projects include Fricke (early references, new references, and corrections). In this edition, we provide 192 new species in 2017. Bill Eschmeyer, Florida Museum of Natural History, 1659 Museum Road, Gainesville, FL 32611 USA and California Academy of Sciences. weschmeyer@calacademy.org We are making additions to: Van der Laan, R., W. Download the addenda to the family-group list as a PDF. See Family Group Names for future updates by R. van der Laan. By default, search results will not include item 3 names -- unavailable names that detract from the main list of available names. Eschmeyer, W. Fricke, R. van der Laan, R., W. Fricke, R. & Eschmeyer, W. Fricke, R. & Eschmeyer, W. Eschmeyer, W. Please remember that if you got to the Catalog of Fishes from Fishbase, you are NOT in Fishbase. By William N. Bill Eschmeyer edited type localities and standardized many place names.

Main Page - Palaeos.org Ichthyology Collections The Department of Ichthyology houses one of the largest and most important research collections of its kind in the world. There are nearly 200,000 cataloged lots (jars) containing roughly 1.2 million specimens, with many thousands of backlogged specimens still to be processed. There are representatives of nearly 11,000 nominal species of fishes in the collection, representing more than a third of those known to science. Although the initial preservation is done in formaldehyde, the specimens are stored in alcohol. The collection can best be thought of as a library. The library analogy is a good one, but it breaks down in one important area. Loan Policy Loans are generally made only for non-profit scientific research. Requesting Data Data are generally available only for non-profit scientific use. Requesting Digital Images & Radiographs Images are generally available only for non-profit scientific use.

Wikispecies, free species directory Encyclopedia of Earth ARKive - Discover the world's most endangered species Wildscreen's Arkive project was launched in 2003 and grew to become the world's biggest encyclopaedia of life on Earth. With the help of over 7,000 of the world’s best wildlife filmmakers and photographers, conservationists and scientists, Arkive.org featured multi-media fact-files for more than 16,000 endangered species. Freely accessible to everyone, over half a million people every month, from over 200 countries, used Arkive to learn and discover the wonders of the natural world. Since 2013 Wildscreen was unable to raise sufficient funds from trusts, foundations, corporates and individual donors to support the year-round costs of keeping Arkive online. Therefore, the charity had been using its reserves to keep the project online and was unable to fund any dedicated staff to maintain Arkive, let alone future-proof it, for over half a decade. Despite appeals for support, just 85 of our 5.6 million users in 2018 made a donation.
