A checklist to the wasps of Peru (Hymenoptera, Aculeata) (GBRDS)
The first checklist to the 225 genera and 1169 reported species-group taxa of aculeate wasps of Peru is presented. The list is based on a literature survey and examination of Peruvian entomological collections and include locality references for each taxon. Bibliographic references for the identification of families, genera, and species are provided when available. The occurrence data are published in addition as a downloadable file (doi: 10.3897/zookeys.15.196.app.2.ds, doi: 10.3897/zookeys.15.196.app.3.ds, and 10.3897/zookeys.15.196.app.4.ds) and were uploaded onto GBIF infrastructure simultaneously with the publication process. The following new combinations are proposed: Ancistroceroides cirrifer (Zavattari, 1912), Ancistrocerus epicus (Zavattari, 1912), and Stenodynerus corallineipes (Zavattari, 1912).

African Rodentia (GBRDS)
The extensive African Rodentia specimen and tissue collections of the Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA), the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS) and the University of Antwerp (UA) provide taxonomical, ecological, geographical and genetic information, as well as measurements and data on parasitic and viral infections. The scientific importance of these collections is that, although numerous African rats and mice have been described over the last 150 years, many species descriptions are based on very few specimens.

AIS Wildtype Populations of Arabidopsis (GBRDS)
Arabidopsis thaliana L. Heynh., Brassicaceae, is now popular as a model plant for studies of not only molecular biology, but also genetics, plant physiology and developmental biology. There have been three stock-centers of Arabidopsis in the world, which provide the stocks to researchers who want to study with this plant. They are Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center (ABRC) at Ohio State University, USA, The Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Centre (NASC) at Nottingham University, UK, and The Sendai Arabidopsis Seed Stock Center (SASSC) at Miyagi University of Education, Japan. SASSC has been established at Prof.N. Goto's lab. in Miyagi University of Education on 1993. The seed stocks in SASSC are composed of the stocks collected by Prof. A. R. Kranz, The Arabidopsis Information Service (AIS), Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and those accumulated by Prof. N. Goto. The SASSC has maintained 1119 unique lines of Arabidopsis and related species: From AIS Collection, 265 ecotypes, 176 form-, 321 color-, and 14 metabolic-mutants, 106 gene-marker lines, 23 trisomic lines, 12 other species of Arabidopsis genus; From Sendai Collection, 202 lines including ecotypes (mainly from Japanese regions), mutants isolated by Prof. Goto, mutants donated by Prof. M.Koornneef, Wageningen Aricultural University, The Netherlands, and other species in Brassica family in West-Himalayan region provided by Dr. J. I. Mirza, B. Z. University, Pakistan,and in Japan. In 2001, SASSC and RIKEN BioResource Center (BRC) started collaboration work on the maintenance of SASSC seed stocks. From October 2003, RIKEN BRC takes over the preservation and distribution project of this famous resource center and starts distribution of SASSC seeds under the National Bioresource Project supported by Japanese government.

Amphibians and Reptiles collection at the Natural History Museum of Denmark (SNM) (GBRDS)
The Danish reptiles and amphibians are well represented in the collections, and not least thanks to a single collector (R. Skovgaard), the Museum has representative collections from the rest of Europe as well. The Museum possesses fine exotic collections from the earlier colonies of Denmark, e.g., from the earlier Danish West Indies. This material was treated by Reinhardt & LÃ¼tken (1862). From the earlier settlements on the Coast of Guinea, the Museum possesses a small, but very fine collection of snakes, many of which formed the basis for the description of new species (Reinhardt, 1843), among others the spitting cobra, Naja nigricollis. ReinhardtÂ´s paper has been translated in English (Rasmussen & Hughes, 1997). Reinhardt increased the collections personally by undertaking three collecting trips to Brazil. The material was later treated by Reinhardt & LÃ¼tken (1861). Most of the very-representative collections of reptiles and amphibians can be traced back to a single expedition or a single person. Thus, the Noona Dan Expedition (1961-1962) brought home a fine collection of terrestrial amphibians and reptiles from the Philippines and Melanesia and marine sea snakes from the Pacific. Since 1985, Arne Redsted Rasmussen has personally more than doubled the number of sea snakes in the collections. The Museum has fine collections of anuran amphibians, most of which have been collected by Arne SchiÃ¸tz in connection with his studies on tree frogs from West Africa (1967). Later Arne SchiÃ¸tz extended his studies (1985) to include the East African tree frogs as well. Since 1970, the Museum, including the staff at the herpetological section, has made extensive collection tours to East Africa. In consequence, the section has abundant collections (especially snakes) from this area. In May 2005 the then curator of herpetology, Jens B. Rasmussen passed away after a short period of illness. Jens Rasmussen was curator of herpetology at the museum since 1977. His research area focused on phylogeny and biogeography of African snakes and through his work Jens became one of the leading specialists in this field. During his last years Jens worked with a comprehensive revision of the material kept in major collections, with the aim of producing a speciation atlas for African snakes. The work will be published posthumously. For more information, please contact Professor, Dr. scient., Jon Fjeldsaa or assistant curator Mogens Andersen.

Australian National Herbarium (CANB) (GBRDS)
The total Australian National Herbarium (ANH) collection (Canberra [CANB] and Atherton [QRS]) comprises approximately 1.4 million specimens, including about 8251 type specimens. Particularly comprehensive collections are held for Australasian bryophytes and lichens, Myrtaceae (especially Eucalyptus and Melaleuca-Callistemon), Orchidaceae, Sapindaceae, Lauraceae, Portulacaceae and some sections of Poaceae, Rutaceae, Proteaceae and Fabaceae. A strong representation of Papua New Guinean material derives from past CSIRO involvement in that area and a comprehensive specialist collection of tropical Australian rain forest species is held at Atherton (>100 000 collections). Voucher material for the Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG) Living Collections and the ANBG Photographic Collection is clearly identified and accessible; the status of associated live material at ANBG, representing c. one third of the Australian vascular flora, is available on-line (http://www.anbg.gov.au/anbg/plant-records/search-lc-vic.html). The existence of properly vouchered herbarium specimens for ANBG's live plants is critical for the scientific integrity and ongoing usefulness of scientific studies using those plants (e.g. for DNA extracts).

bbsl_ipt (GBRDS)
The Pollinating Insects -- Biology, Management and Systematics Research Unit (PIRU) was founded in the late 1940s as part of the alfalfa seed production unit. We focus primarily on pollination research with bees.The mission of the Pollinating Insect - Biology, Management and Systematics Research Unit is the development of non-Apis bees, for example the alfalfa leafcutting bee and blue orchard bee, as crop pollinators. Research emphasis areas include the development and improvement of management systems for bee populations, biological studies of bees, plant-pollination systems, and bee biosystematics. Cross-pollinated crops not effectively pollinated by honey bees have been targeted for improved pollination management, and the candidacy of selected pollinator species continues to be evaluated. Current research on established species, like the alfalfa leafcutting bee and blue orchard bee, is directed toward developing control programs for pests and diseases, improving management that will result in better bee health and demonstrating pollination efficacy and increased producer profitability on "new" crops.

Belgian IFBL Flora Checklists (1939-1971) (GBRDS)
The Atlas of the Flora (Pteridophytes â Spermatophytes) of Belgium and Luxemburg (Van Rompaey & Delvosalle 1972) is the result of the first national flora mapping project (1939- 1971). Unfortunately, the data used to build it are only digitised at a synthetic level (units of 16 kmÂ²). To be able to investigate the changes in the flora between the first mapping period and the second (1972 up to now) in all its aspects, especially in relation to environmental factors (climatic, pollution, land useâ¦), it is necessary to digitise the original data, i.e. the field records on the flora (flora checklists) made within 1kmÂ² IFBL squares. Here we propose to digitise a substantial part of this original dataset (about 2000 lists, i.e. 1/5 of the approx. 10000 available lists), after a selection procedure based on (1) maximizing the spatial dispersion of the data throughout Belgium and (2) the quality of the individual lists, e.g. the highest number of observed taxa (data already encoded in a database for the whole dataset).

Bird specimens of Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle (GBRDS)
The database AVES concerns the bird collections of the Museum national d'Histoire naturelle de Paris. The MNHN bird collection is estimated to 180 000 specimens, including approximately 2500 types. Today, the database concerns only study skins and mounted skins, but the collection includes also skeletons, eggs, nests and fluid preserved specimens. Search results follow Howard and Moore 2003 (updated to corrigenda 8-2008) nomenclature and taxonomic sequence. The upper geographical rank conforms to the ISO 3166-1 code. Undetermined locality does not necessarily mean that the information is no available, but that its validity has not yet been checked. This and others additional information are sometime accessible by consulting label photographs that we progressively add to the data base. At the end of 2011, only skin specimens from France and Pteroclidiformes are fully databased, but new data are added regularly for various taxa.

Botanical Society of the British Isles - SNH Site Condition Monitoring - Vascular plants (2000-2006) (GBRDS)
There are 1,455 SSSIs in Scotland of which some 150 or so are notified to protect their vascular plant interest. Site Condition Monitoring for vascular plant sites involves finding the (mainly) Nationally Scarce & Nationally Rare plant populations and making detailed records of them. The detailed records include population size, extent, regeneration, threat, habitat and environmental conditions together with a list of associated species. The first 6 year cycle began in 1998/9 and the survey work was variously undertaken by contractors, SNH Area staff and by BSBI volunteers and the BSBI Scottish Officer. John McKinnell, SNH, did much work to extract target records from some 92 of the completed SCM reports which were available to him. The Dataset currently holds some 22,687 records. Virtually all have an 8 figure grid reference or better (94%) and have been made within the last ten years, and consequently the dataset is very valuable. The dataset has a number of limitations such as not all negative records were clearly recorded by surveyors and are included. The full list of limitations should be read before using the dataset for analysis or other purposes.
Number of records: 22,323
Botanical Society of the British Isles - Vascular Plants Database (GBRDS)
This database of 9.8 million records contains the distributions of 6669 taxa of flowering plants and ferns. Most of these records have been collected by volunteer members of the Botanical Society of the British Isles (BSBI) and include those gathered for the Atlas of the British Flora (Perring & Walters, 1962) and the New Atlas of the British and Irish flora (Preston, Pearman & Dines, 2002). The latter is a collation of many datasets (including those held by BSBI vice-county recorders), some included in this database in full and others as summary data; the major sources of data are outlined in the New Atlas text. The availability of data at resolutions higher than 10km square varies between sources. The collated data have been validated at the 10km square level by BSBI Vice-County recorders and the editors for those taxa mapped in the New Atlas, and were believed to provide a good representation of vascular plant distributions in Britain and Ireland at the time of publication. Records of infraspecific taxa and hybrids which were not mapped in the New Atlas have been scrutinised less closely. An update of around 900,000 records was made to the dataset in January 2007, to include the data from the BSBI Local Change survey (Braithwaite et al., 2006), data from the Flora of Oxfordshire (Killick et al., 1998) and the Isle of Wight Flora (Pope et al., 2003), records of hybrid plants and a variety of other records. Some corrections to the New Atlas dataset have also been made.

British Trust for Ornithology - Nightjar national breeding surveys in Britain (BTO/RSPB/NE/FC England/FC Wales/FC Scotland) (GBRDS)
The Nightjar Caprimulgus europaeus is a red-listed species that is protected under Annex 1 of the EC Birds Directive. Numbers and range have declined in Britain over the greater part of the 20th century, but have begun increasing again since the start of the 21st. The species breeds mainly in southern England, but there are scattered populations as far north as central Scotland. The 1981 national survey located 1784 calling males and estimated the maximum population to be 2100 calling males. (The dataset though only has 1642 birds, the other 142 not having sufficient location information to be mapped.) This was a lower total number than expected. The distribution also showed a contraction of the species? range in the north and west (compared to the 1968-1972 Breeding Atlas). The main cause of the decline was probably a change in climate leading to reduced breeding success, but habitat destruction and disturbance were likely also involved. Information obtained on habitats showed that conifer plantations had become the major habitat type; followed by lowland heath, open bracken areas, other woodlands and raised bogs or mosses. For more information, see Gribble (1983), Bird Study 30: 165-176. The 1992 survey (organised by BTO and RSPB) located 3093 males and indicated that numbers had increased to an estimated 3400. (The dataset though only has 3082 birds, the other 11 not having sufficient location information to be mapped.) This represented an increase of more than 50% since 1981. For more information, see Morris et al. (1994), Bird Study 41: 181-191. The 2004 survey (organised by BTO, RSPB, Natural England, Forestry Commission England, Wales and Scotland) located 4131 males and estimated that the total had risen again to 4606 males (+36% since 1992). (The dataset contains a total of 4197 territory records, comprising 3083 territorial males (10 without location information), six single females, 18 unsexed adults and 46 presumed migrant males ? only noted in May.) National Biodiversity Action Plan objectives for Nightjar conservation were reached in respect of population size and stability, but the target for a 5% range increase by 2003 was not met. (NOTE: In 2005, a further 192 territorial males and 3 unsexed individuals were located in locations (New Forest, Dorset Heaths and East Anglia) not covered during the 2004 survey. However, up to 7 territories may be represented in both the 2004 and 2005 datasets.)

British Trust for Ornithology - Woodlark national breeding surveys in Britain (BTO/RSPB/JNCC/NE/FC England) (GBRDS)
The Woodlark Lullula arborea is a rare breeding species and partial migrant in the UK, where it is mainly confined to southern England. It is a species of high to moderate conservation concern subject to a national Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP). The dataset contains records from the national surveys of breeding Woodlark in 1986, 1997 and 2006. These were organised and run by the BTO (in 1986 on its own, in 1997 in conjunction with RSPB, JNCC and English Nature (now Natural England) and in 2006 in conjunction with RSPB, Natural England and the Forestry Commission in England). In 1986 it was estimated that there were 250 territories in the UK concentrated in five regions: south-west England, New Forest/Dorset, Hampshire/Surrey border, Breckland and the Suffolk coast. The dataset records the locations of 241 pairs; the remaining 9 pairs are an estimate for those areas not covered well. Habitat occupancy differed between regions. Most birds were found in young conifer plantations and heathland, but neither of these habitats was important in the south-west where birds used a variety of habitats including marginal farmland. For more information see Sitters et al. (1996), Bird Study 43: 172-187. In 1997 between 1426 and 1552 woodlark territories were located in Britain -- the dataset includes all 1552 territory locations but it is not certain that more than 1426 became breeding territories. The five regions of population that were apparent in 1986 all showed major increases, in particular in Breckland and the Suffolk Sandlings. Over 85% of territories occurred on heathland or within forest plantations, but the ratio varied between regions: plantations were more commonly used in the north and east, whereas more birds utilised heathland in the south. Woodlarks in Devon bred almost exclusively on farmland. More than three-quarters of the forest population was found in young plantations, particularly in stands of two and three year old trees. Most territories were located on sandy soils, with nearly 70% specifically as on acid sandy soils. For more information see Wotton & Gillings (2000), Bird Study 47: 212-224. The 2006 survey gave a population estimate of 3064 territories (with 95% confidence limits 2472 - 3687), and a range expansion of 46% since 1997. The dataset records the location of the 1757 territories noted by the observers contributing to the survey. This survey demonstrated that the population had increased to meet the BAP targets set in 1996 for population size and range expansions in England, and that it is on schedule to meet targets in Wales. The species has responded to heathland conservation restoration projects and is highly dependent on forest management. For more information, see Conway et al. (2009), Bird Study 56: 310-325.

Bryophyte collection (GBRDS)
The Bryophyte Collection available through this resource includes more than 21 000 records of preserved specimens from Portugal maintained at the LISU Herbarium. It includes the vast majority of species cited for Portugal, from all regions in the country. However, there is some predominance of samples from Natural Parks, in particular from Serra da Estrela and Peneda-GerÃªs. The main collectors are F. Welwitsch, A.X Pereira Coutinho, C.N. Tavares, C. SÃ©rgio, M. Sim-Sim and C. Garcia. The time frame includes records from 1840 to the present, although about 75% of specimens were collected after 1980. The total number of bryophyte specimens existing in the herbarium is about 70 000, and includes Madeira and Azores regions, and specimens from foreign countries. The digitising process is ongoing, which will result in new additions to this resource in the near future.

Christopher Walker collection of Glomeromycotan fungi (GBRDS)
The collection of fungi, mainly members of the Glomeromycota, consists of voucher specimens and records relating to some three decades of research into the taxonomy and systematics of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi . Most of the specimens are held in the herbarium at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (E), though more recent ones may still be retained personally by Chris Walker pending their deposit in the herbarium. The vouchers mainly consist of spores mounted in polyvinyl-alcohol lactophenol (PVL) or polyvinyl-alcohol lacto glycerol (PVLG), with or without the addition of reagents (principally Melzer's reagent) and dyes (e.g., trypan blue, ink). The organisms have been collected by many different people too numerous to mention, and their contributionis acknowledged with thanks. Some are of importance because they are type specimens, and some are voucher records for published work. Some records of types are virtual, being merely pointers to the specimens held in other herbaria.

Conchological Society of Great Britain & Ireland - Mollusc (marine) data for Great Britain and Ireland (GBRDS)
The records in this dataset are the results of the Conchological Society's Marine Census which has been run since 1876. The dataset includes all the records which have so far been digitised. However, a significant portion of the Society's marine records still remain in paper format. Many of the records have never been held centrally, by the Marine Recorder; the custodians have been the respective sea area representatives. A programme is underway to trace some of these archives in order to facilitate their digitisation, along with records already held centrally but waiting to be processed. A programme is underway to get all records digitised and added to this collation which will be regularly updated as the work progresses. This dataset is constituted from data where the recorder has signed the Society?s access policy and represents the majority of the data holdings. The remainder of the records are held in a separate dataset on the Gateway where access is more restricted.

Crustaceans specimens of Museum d'Histoire Naturelle (GBRDS)
The collection covers all groups of crustaceans (except the very rare Remipedia and Tantulocarida). Consisting of some 100 000 inventoried lots arranged in systematic order, and with about 6000 type specimens, this collection is one of the richest in the world for its diversity. The collection was established before 1800 with the collections of the explorer naturalists (voyages of Bougainville, Savigny, Dumont D'Urville ...) and then continued, notably with those of the Travailleur and the Talisman. The collection has benefited from the work of prestigious scientists like Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, Latreille, H. and A. Milne-Edwards, and Chevreux. The specimens, measuring 1 mm to over 2 m in size, are mainly preserved in alcohol. Some are kept dry (old collections such as the historical collection of crabs), others as slide preparations. The collection includes worldwide material of marine, freshwater and terrestrial crustaceans (including pest species). The collection grows 1 to 1.5% per year on average, varying according to the group, thanks to numerous donations and deposits. For 25 years the "Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos" (formely MUSORSTOM) expeditions have resulted in the largest collection in the world from the deep-water (bathyal) environment.

Echinoderm specimens of Museum d'Histoire Naturelle (GBRDS)
The aim is to provide a general view of the echinoderm collection of the Paris Museum, which is primarily a scientific collection. The naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, one of the founders of the Theory of Evolution, was the first to really establish the collection of echinoderms at the Paris Museum. There are both dry and alcohol-preserved lots. Some sea cucumber specimens are preserved as microscopic preparations on slides. The number of lots is estimated at 500,000, of which 0.4% are types. Echinoderms have been collected in all oceans, at all latitudes. The largest numbers of specimens were collected relatively recently in the Indo-West Pacific. Echinoderms live exclusively in marine waters and at all depths. For 25 years intensive research programs have permitted huge collections to be obtained, especially from the Indo-Pacific and Antarctic regions. Most of the data entered so far are from these regions.

ECOCEAN MantaMatcher (GBRDS)
Manta Matcher represents the first global manta ray database. This site was specifically designed to manage manta ray sightings and identifications across their distribution. After the success of the Ecocean whale shark database, Manta Matcher was a logical follow-up. Manta rays are widely distributed, migratory, and have unique spot patterning on their ventral surface that can be used to permanently identify individuals. At the present time, this database will enable researchers to upload and organize individually identified manta rays in their populations. This system is also intended to promote collaborations by way of cross-referencing databases to check for both regional and long distance movement.

EC Smith Herbarium (ACAD) (GBRDS)
The Acadia Herbarium began as an initial gift to Dr. H.G. Perry of a small collection made by G.U. Hay of St. John, New Brunswick. Included in this collection were a few plants collected by J. Fowler of New Brunswick before he went to Queen's University. These first specimens were collected between 1868 and 1880. Some of the plants were cultivated and some were from the United States. Subsequently, in these early years, the additions were made chiefly through the work of Dr. H.G. Perry and his students. No records were available until the collection numbered some 6,000 sheets. Included in the 6,000, however, are a number of sheets from the Gray Herbarium Expeditions to Nova Scotia in 1920 and 1921. Of the specimens above the 6000 count, the majority have been added by the work of Dr. M.V. Roscoe and her students from 1928-1940 and Dr. H. P. Banks and his students from 1940-1946.In 1946 a large collection was being assembled by Mr. David Erskine, who catalogued the Flora of Wolfville and vicinity. During Dr. E.C. Smith's tenure at Acadia (1947-1971) the number of specimens grew from 20,000 sheets to over 70,000. In 1970, Acadia University's Board of Governors announced that the department's excellent collection of plants would be named the E.C. Smith Herbarium as tribute to him for his contributions to the collection. Now, the E.C. Smith Herbarium contains over 200,000 specimens, including vascular plants, bryophytes, and fungi. It is the largest herbarium in Atlantic Canada and the first Canadian herbarium to have a digital database with scanned images of the collection.

The most numerous among these are fossils of Ordovician and Silurian marine invertebrates - brachiopods, trilobites, gastropods, corals, bryozoans, echinoderms, graptolites and eurypterides. The collections also include the fossils of early vertebrates: jawless and jawed fishes. The oldest palaeontological and lithological materials of the museum are dated from the middle of the 19th century. The museum houses the collections of several famous researchers of Estonian geology, such as academician Fr. Schmidt, E. v. Koken and A. v. Pahlen. The collections of the museum contain several published type specimens found in the second half of the 19th century and first half of the 20th century, including the fossil of Bothriocidaris pahleni, one of the oldest sea urchins in the world, which was found from Haljala Stage. The palaeontological collections also contain a small amount of bone elements and skeleton fragments of Quaternary mammals, most of them originating from the northern areas of Russia. Very few bone finds originate from the territory of Estonia. These include two molars of the hairy mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) found near Puurmani, which, according to the research to date, are considered to be among the youngest finds of mammoth in Northern Europe.

ENDEMIC SPECIES RESEARCH INSTITUTE (GBRDS)
To improve research into Taiwan's endemic plant and animal species and special ecosystems and to promote ecology education, the Taiwan Provincial Government took a policy decision on nature conservation. On 8 January 1990, at Meeting 909 of provincial government heads of department, Chiu Chuang-huan, the then Governor of Taiwan Province, directed that "a Taiwan Endemic Species Research Institute should be established specifically to conserve and research Taiwan's existing endemic species." To implement this decision, Taiwan Province Department of Agriculture and Forestry prepared an "Outline Plan for the Establishment of a Taiwan Endemic Species Research Institute," which was completed in May 1990. After being debated and passed by the Provincial Government Council, the plan was presented to the Executive Yuan, which approved it on 23 April 1991. TESRI was formally established on 1 July 1992.

This dataset contains the results of the yearly summer camp of the Field Study Group (Dutch Mammal Society), organized from July 17th to July 27th 2007 in Matsalu Rahvuspark (Matsalu National Park), Estonia. The mammals of Matsalu and its surroundings were the main object of study, using various methods. Live traps and small batches of owl pellets were used to identify small mammals like shrews and mice. Data on bats was gathered with bat detectors, mistnets and harp traps. Bat parasites and DNA material ware collected from all bats captured. Other mammal species were observed visually or by use of camera and video monitors. While recording mammals, attention was given to insects (butterflies, dragonflies and grasshoppers), amphibians, reptiles and birds as well. Locations were recorded with GPS.

Florabank1 (GBRDS)
Florabank1 is the database that deals with the distribution data on the wild flora (indigenous species, archeophytes and naturalised aliens) of Flanders and the Brussels Capital Region. It contains about 3 million records on distribution of vascular plants from 1800 until today. Besides the occurrence data, it also contains ecological data on vascular plant species, as well as redlist category information, Ellenberg values, legal protection, global distribution, seed bank etc. The database is an initiative of the Flo.Wer ngo, the Research Institute for Nature and Forest and the National Botanic Garden. The purpose of Florabank is first to centralize the botanical distribution data gathered by professional and amateur botanists and second to make the data available in the framework of nature conservation, policy and research. The Florabank is a continuous work in progress and new occurrences are added on a regularly base. The occurrence data in Florabank1 originated from checklists, literature and herbarium specimens. On survey lists, the verbatim locality, species name, the date of the observation and the code of the IFBL (VAN ROMPAEY 1943)1 square is recorded. The IFBL grid system is the system used for plant mapping in Belgium. For the period between 1972-2004 literature was systematically screened on distribution information looking at the most obvious Belgian botanical journals. The analysis of herbarium specimen from the National Botanic Garden of Belgium, the University of Ghent and the University of LiÃ¨ge provided interesting distribution knowledge concerning rare species. This information was also added in Florabank1. The data in Florabank1 does not contain survey list data recorded before 1972; this data is published through the Belgian GBIF node; http://data.gbif.org/datasets/resource/10969/ . the data, however, is included in the original Florabank database. All the data in Florabank1 is georeferenced. Every record holds the decimal centroid coordinates of the IFBL square containing the observation. IFBL squares can measure 1 KmÂ² or 4 KmÂ². The uncertainty radius is the smallest circle possible covering the whole IFBL square. The Florabank follows the taxonomy as in the 1998 edition of the Belgium Flora (Lambinon et al. 1998).

Ground Beetle Recording Scheme - Carabid data for Great Britain from the Ground Beetle Recording Scheme held by BRC (GBRDS)
Carabid records submitted to the Biological Records Centre. The dataset comprises records collected for the Ground Beetle Recording Scheme, as well as those extracted from literature and museum sources. Basic recording coverage has been achieved across Britain. All British species of carabids are covered, with the exception of casual importations. The records span the period 1802 (one record extracted from literature) to 1997. Full details of the sources consulted can be found in `Provisional atlas of the ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) of Britain`. Note that the data held here includes a small number of records that were not included in the atlas. The records have been fully validated by BRC and GBRS but a small proportion of errors in identification or locality information remain. These data are publicly viewable and downloadable at full resolution. There are no sensitive records of ground beetles, or hidden attributes of records, and it is not currently possible to access the names of recorders, determiners or compilers via the Gateway. So please don't submit any access requests!

Harpactus Shuckard (GBRDS)
The database lists 448 specimens belonging to 16 species of genus Harpactus Shuckard, 1837 having their depository at the entomological collections of the Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum in Leiden (The Netherlands) and the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales in Madrid (Spain). Harpactus, predominantly Holarctic genus with 73 recently valid species displays both great diversity and abundance in arid regions and includes many âproblemâ species which are ill defined as a separate species and/or have never been recognized after appearing of their first descriptions. Those circumstances bring the attention the researchers to put whole members of the genus under revision. Such as revision, formally started in 2005 with the exploration over the Harpactus materials in the Zoologisches Museum an der Humboldt-Universitat in Berlin (Germany) already results in some particular outputs one of which is the present database. Included species in the data base are these which are morphologically recognized as a valid species without any doubt.

It covers all groups of organisms. Several scientific associations and projects of the Finnish Museum of Natural History, such as the Bird Atlas, coordinate the data entry that concerns their particular groups. However, only rudimentary a-priori checking of data is done, so this data should be used with caution. Some data has been generalised as described in each record. Currently only about 1/3 of existing data has been released.

Hoverfly Recording Scheme - Hoverfly Recording Scheme database for Great Britain (GBRDS)
Set of data relating to hoverflies (Diptera, Syrphidae) recorded in Great Britain, compiled from a variety of sources by the Hoverfly Recording Scheme. The dataset summarises the information collated by the Recording Scheme from its inception in 1976 to about 1997. The great majority of the information consists of field observations made by voluntary recorders submitted either on BRC recording cards, or electronically from other datasets. Whilst a considerable amount of information from collections and the literature is incorporated, this element is by no means complete because no systematic trawl has been undertaken as yet. In general, historic data from such sources will be most complete for the rarer species (especially those with Biodiversity Action Plans) since these have been researched more extensively. Data covers Great Britain, although not all data held by the Scottish Hoverfly Recording Scheme have been incorporated. The data have been validated by the current national organisers of the Scheme, Stuart Ball and Roger Morris. The "Provisional Atlas of the Hoverflies of Great Britain" (Ball & Morris, 2000. CEH, Huntingdon) was derived from these data.

The insect collection at the Survey now houses over 6,000,000 curated specimens. The growth and wide-ranging scope of this collection can be credited to the diverse interests of the systematists who have spent all or part of their career at the Survey. Scientists such as Stephen A. Forbes, the first Director of the State Laboratory and Chief of the Natural History Survey; Theodore Frison, who succeeded Forbes; and H. H. Ross, who directed the intense systematics studies of the faunistic section for 40 years, placed considerable emphasis on enlarging the insect collection. These insects document the changing landscape and environmental conditions of the world. The INHS insect collection is one of the largest in North America. The most recent size estimate was done in 1992. The heavy concentration of specimens from the last third of the 1800s also makes this one of North America's oldest insect and related arthropod collections. The INHS Insect Collection includes more than 13,000 primary types (syntypes inclusive). Because of size, historical holdings, and wide breadth of coverage in certain groups, the collection is an important national and worldwide resource.

Joint Nature Conservation Committee - England Otter Survey Database (GBRDS)
As part of a scheme to monitor the distribution of otters throughout the UK, four England otter survey have been carried out covering the years 1977-79, 1984-85 and 1991-94, and 2000-02. In the first national survey, alternate 50-km squares - the north-west and the south-east quarters of each 100-km square - of the National Grid were surveyed to geographically represent cover of all regions (giving a total of 2940 in the first survey). The second survey (funded by The Vincent Wildlife Trust) in 1984-86 added four more 50-km squares (that were deemed unlikely to have otters in the first survey) giving a total of 3189 sites, all of which were re-surveyed in 1991-94 (The Vincent Wildlife Trust). In the 2000-02 (The Environment Agency) surveyed all alternate 50-km squares in England were surveyed, making the total of 38 50-km (and partial) squares and 3327 sites. Sites were selected by accessibility and likelihood of finding signs of otter activity - typically road bridges and the confluences of watercourses. The number of sites visited per square varied. The survey protocol was to search up to 600m of one bank of a water body from a starting point (grid referenced), either all in one direction or split between two directions. Searching stopped as soon as signs of activity were noted in the 1977-79 and 2000-02 surveys, the full 600m being surveyed in the intervening surveys. The number of spraints and presence of mink was also recorded.

Joint Nature Conservation Committee - Marine benthic dataset (version 1) commissioned by UKOOA (GBRDS)
A comprehensive review of seabed environmental surveys has been commissioned by UKOOA to document and analyse data collected from offshore environmental surveys carried out on the behalf of UK North Sea offshore oil operators. The purpose of these environmental surveys is to monitor the seabed in the vicinity of offshore operations with the aim of detecting environmental impact. It is estimated that some 520 seabed surveys were carried out between 1975 and 1998, covering work carried out by approximately 29 environmental monitoring contractors, government agencies and universities. 472 reports have been located, examined and listed in the database. The UKOOA seabed environmental review was carried out in three phases. Phase 1 consisted of the compilation of an inventory of surveys carried out in the UK sector. Phase 2 involved the production of database files containing detailed biological, chemical and locational data. Phase 3 examines the extent of contamination from offshore E and P activities and impacts on the biota, and will attempt to determine any large-scale trends over wider geographical areas. The database files were exported to the NBN gateway in October 2004 - note that a new version of the database is now available. This involved a fair amount of data cleaning due to the range of quality of the data that had been compiled. There were 203945 records exported to the NBN gateway.

Joint Nature Conservation Committee - Marine Nature Conservation Review (MNCR) and associated benthic marine data held and managed by JNCC (GBRDS)
This dataset includes the survey data that were collected during the Marine Nature Conservation Review (MNCR) between 1987 and 1998, together with data from surveys commissioned by the Nature Conservancy Council in the 1970s and 1980s and data collected subsequently by JNCC. The MNCR was initiated to provide a comprehensive baseline of information on marine habitats and their associated species around the coast of Britain which would aid coastal zone and sea-use management and to contribute to the identification of areas of marine natural heritage importance. The focus of MNCR work was on benthic habitats (often referred to as 'biotopes') in intertidal and inshore (typically within 3nm) subtidal areas.

Joint Nature Conservation Committee - Otters: Northern Ireland Otter Survey Database (GBRDS)
As part of a scheme to monitor the distribution of otters throughout the UK, two otter surveys in Northern Ireland have been carried out covering the years 1980-81 (funded by The Vincent Wildlife Trust as part of an all Ireland survey) and 2001-02 (Environment and Heritage Service (EHS), NI). The 1980-81 survey covered 10km areas within alternate 50km squares of the Irish National Grid using sites that were accessible and where there would be a likelihood of finding signs of otter activityâtypically road bridges and the confluences of watercourses. In the second survey (2001-02) 131 positive and 50 negative sites of the 1980 survey were re-sampled plus 441 new sites and combined with an intensive survey of Lough Erne (a designated cSAC for otters). See the EHS report for details of the methods used.

Joint Nature Conservation Committee - Scotland Otter Survey Database (GBRDS)
As part of a scheme to monitor the distribution of otters throughout the UK, three Scotland otter survey have been carried out covering the years 1977-79, 1984-85 and 1991-94, funded by the Vincent Wildlife Trust (VWT). These surveys were conducted at the 10km square level. Coverage was most extensive in 1977-79 and 1991-94, nearly every 10km square in Scotland was visited. Within each 10km square, sites visited were selected by accessibility and likelyhood of finding signs of otter activityâtypically road bridges and the confluences of watercourses. The number of sites visited per square varied, averaged about 5. No attempt was made to randomise the sampling effort. The survey protocol was to search up to 600m of one bank of a waterbody from a starting point (grid referenced), either all in one direction or split between two directions. Searching stopped as soon as signs of activity were noted. The number of spraints was recorded. Mink are not recorded in this database.

Joint Nature Conservation Committee - Seabird 2000 (GBRDS)
The Seabird 2000 dataset is a full census of all of the breeding seabirds in Britain and Ireland. The data was gathered by over 1000 surveyors mainly between the years 1999 and 2003 from both coastal and inland colonies. The main objectives of the survey were: to obtain distribution and population information for all 25 species of seabird that regularly breed in the UK; to get baseline figures for those species that have been surveyed poorly up to now. To meet these objectives a set of count sections were set up throughout Britain and Ireland and counts were made for all species. The dataset comprises detailed counts of seabirds together with: habitat information, predator information, count units, weather conditions on the day of the count. The spatial coverage was dependent on species with colonial nesting seabirds having virtually complete coverage; whereas, other species, notably some gull species having much less coverage. For a full description of the survey methodology, see 'Seabird Populations of Britain and Ireland' (2004), Mitchell, P.I., Newton, S.F., Ratcliffe, N. and Dunn, T.E. Published by T & AD Poyser. The Seabird 2000 dataset contains some additional attributes in addition to the general NBN Gateway attributes. These are described below: MainSite Stretches of coastline were divided into sites, which were usually based on previous count sections defined in the Seabird Colony Register Database. In coastal areas, surveyors were instructed to divide sites into easily defined count sections or subsites, around 1km in length and provide separate counts for each subsite. MainSite is the name of the site and the sitename is the name of the subsite. Site name See MainSite. Gridref Denotes the OS grid reference of the start point of each subsite. EndGridReference Denotes the OS grid reference of the end point of the subsite. For inland colonies of gulls, terns and cormorants no end grid reference is given ? the subsite is defined by a single OS grid reference denoting the centre of the colony. Date Recorded The date or date range that the count was made. Recorder The name of the recorder who made the count. Habitat1, Habitat2, Habitat3, Habitat4 Each subsite has a set of habitats associated with it. These are given in these fields. CountQuality Count quality is based on the date and time of the count and is scored on a five-point scale: 1 = at the recommended date and time 2 = at the recommended date, but outside the recommended time period 3 = at the recommended date, but time not given 4 = date not given 5 = outside the recommended date and time. The ideal dates and times for all species is given below: <table> <tr> <td>Species</td> <td>Time of year</td> <td>Time of day (BST) </td> </tr><tr> <td>Northern Fulmar</td> <td>15 May to 5 July</td> <td>0900 to 1730</td> </tr><tr> <td>Manx Shearwater</td> <td>late May to early June</td> <td>Day light</td> </tr><tr> <td>European Storm-petrel</td> <td>July</td> <td>Day light</td> </tr><tr> <td>Leach?s Storm-petrel</td> <td>Late June to early July</td> <td>Day light</td> </tr><tr> <td>Great Cormorant</td> <td>1 May to 25 June </td> <td>Day light</td> </tr><tr> <td>European Shag</td> <td>15 May to 25 June</td> <td>Day light</td> </tr><tr> <td>Skuas</td> <td>15 May to 15 July </td> <td>Day light</td> </tr><tr> <td>Gulls (Larus spp.)</td> <td>15 May to 5 June</td> <td>(recommended 0900 to 1600 for flush counts of individuals)</td> </tr><tr> <td>Black-legged Kittiwake</td> <td>26 May to 25 June</td> <td>Day light</td> </tr><tr> <td>Terns</td> <td>15 May to 5 July</td> <td> (recommended 0800 to 1600 or preferably 1000 to 1200 for flush counts of individuals)</td> </tr><tr> <td>Common Guillemot & Razorbill</td> <td>1 to 21 June</td> <td>0800 to 1600</td> </tr><tr> <td>Black Guillemot</td> <td>26 March to 15 May</td> <td>0500 to 0900</td> </tr><tr> <td>Atlantic Puffin</td> <td>25 April to 5 June</td> <td>Day light</td> </tr></table> Qualifier The qualifier for the count is what the count is a count of, e.g. individuals on land. Predators The species names of any predators that were seen are recorded here. Accuracy An indication of the accuracy of the count, e.g. accurate, estimated hidden etc. HabitatClass Indicates whether the habitat is inland, coastal, natural or urban. RecordType The specific method that was used to make the count, e.g. counts from a vantage point. InlandOrCoastal Sites were defined as coastal if they were situated within 5km of the mean high-water mark (OS Boundary-Line ? Â© crown copyright). All colonies in Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles were defined as coastal. All other sites were defined as inland. Count The count of the number of individuals, pairs or territories etc. The qualifier for count is given by the attribute 'Qualifier'. WeatherConditions Indicates if the weather is good or poor.

Joint Nature Conservation Committee - Wales Otter Survey Database (GBRDS)
As part of a scheme to monitor the distribution of otters throughout the UK, four Welsh otter survey have been carried out covering the years 1977-78, 1984-85, 1991 and 2002 (funded by the Nature Conservation Council, The Vincent Wildlife Trust - 1984-5 & 1991 - and the Environment Agency respectively). This database is currently only made up of the 1991 and 2002 surveys. Sites were selected by accessibility and likelyhood of finding signs of otter activity - typically road bridges and the confluences of watercourses. The number of sites visited per hydrometric region varied. No attempt was made to randomise the sampling effort, but there was some site variability due different issues when the surveys were undertaken - 1008 sites have been consistantly monitored over the four surveys. The survey protocol was to search up to 600m of one bank of a waterbody from a starting point (grid referenced), either all in one direction or split between two directions. Searching stopped as soon as signs of activity were noted. The number of spraints was recorded. Mink were recorded in this survey.

Literature based species occurrence data of birds of North-East India (GBRDS)
North-east region of India is one of the significant biodiversity hotspot. Being, one of the richest bird area, it is an important routes for migratory birds and home to many endemic birds. This paper describes the literature based dataset of species occurrences of birds of the north-eastern India. The occurrence records documented in the dataset are distributed across eleven provinces of India, viz. Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. The geospatial scope of the dataset represents 24 to 29 degree North latitude and 78 to 94 degree East longitude and comprises of over 2400 occurrence records. These records have been collated from scholarly literature published during 1915 â 2008, especially the Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society (JBNHS). The temporal scale of the dataset represents bird observations recorded during 1909 â 2007. The dataset has been developed by employing MS Excel. The key elements in the database are scientific name, taxonomic classification, temporal and geospatial details including geo-coordinate precision, data collector, basis of record, and primary source of the data record. The temporal and geospatial quality of more than 50% of the data records has been enhanced retrospectively. Where possible, data records are annotated with geospatial coordinate precision to the nearest minute. This dataset is being constantly updated with addition of new data records, and quality enhancement of documented occurrences. The dataset can be used in species distribution and niche modeling studies. It is planned to expand the scope of the dataset to collate bird species occurrences across Indian peninsular.

Lothian Wildlife Information Centre - Lothian Wildlife Information Centre Secret Garden Survey (GBRDS)
A series of studies carried out as part of the Lothian Secret Garden Survey to help build up a picture of the full biodiversity present in local gardens. In order to encourage the public to record the wildlife in their gardens the Lothian Wildlife Information Centre ran the Lothian Secret Garden Survey between June 1995 and December 1996. As a result, data about easy species (i.e. not requiring specialist knowledge for identification) were recorded from 170 local gardens on specially designed survey forms. In order to learn more about the full range of species using Lothian gardens 16 of the 170 gardens were chosen for special studies by the Information Centre team. The study gardens were carefully selected to cover the full range of local garden types i.e. rural-urban, high-low altitude and large-small size. The Centre team visited each of the 16 gardens six times over the 18 month study period and on each occasion collected a wide range of invertebrate and lower plant specimens and recorded the vascular plants. Invertebrate groups recorded included molluscs, myriapods, true bugs, beetles, moths, flies, spiders and harvestmen. Lower plants recorded were fungi, bryophytes and lichens. The specimens were sent to specialists for identification. 5,400 records of 1,080 wild plants and animals were generated as a result of the study and are on the Gateway. Three of the species found were new to Scotland, many more were new to the Lothians including an RDB montane fly found in central Edinburgh. The results of the full survey are detailed in "The Secret Garden: Report of the Lothian Secret Garden Survey" (available from the Lothian Wildlife Information Centre).

Microbial Observatory of the Laboratoire Arago (GBRDS)
Prof. Philippe Lebaron established the MOLA collection in 2001, and we now maintain 711 environmental bacterial strains in our collection, with new ones being added each week. Microorganisms are isolated from samples taken during oceanographic cruises all over the globe: from oligotrophic waters to the most eutrophic, at the water interface with air or sediments, or from the water column. We also isolate symbiotic bacteria associated with animals. Our broad experience with samples from different marine environments is an important advantage when developing the new and innovative culture methods used to target the unique microbial species in MOLA. Because our facilities are situated in a marine sciences research and teaching laboratory, (the Laboratoire Arago - Observatoire OcÃ©anologique de Banyuls/Mer) we also benefit from the latest research breakthroughs. The MOLA collection is registered with the World Data Centre for Microorganisms (WDCM911) in the World Federation for Culture Collections (WFCC). The collection has been supported by the European research project AIRWIN (Air-Water Interface), and the Institut FranÃ§ais de la BiodiversitÃ© (IFB).

Molluscs specimens of Museum d'Histoire Naturelle (GBRDS)
The collection of marine, terrestrial and freshwater molluscs is primarily a scientific but also a historical and museological collection. It includes about 800 000 lots, totaling approximately 5 million specimens from around the world. These specimens are preserved as either dry specimens (dried animals, shells) or in alcohol. The type collection contains 11 000 types of nominal species. The collection dates back to Michel Adanson (shells of Senegal, 1757) and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. It then increased through donations of amateur collectors, institutional legacies and purchases, and the activity of scientists from both the Museum and other institutions. This diversity of sources continues today, but large expeditions have been very important from the late eighteenth century through to the colonial era, a role they continue to play to this day. The "Tropical Deep-Sea benthos" oceanographic expeditions (formerly MUSORSTOM), launched in the early 1980s to sample the benthos of the tropical South and West-Pacific, have resulted in the collection becoming the best in the world for deep-sea faunas (100-1.500 m bathymetric zone). It is particularly rich in micromolluscs. Historical sections of the collection contain representatives of terrestrial and freshwater molluscs that are now extinct.

National Trust - Greater Horseshoe Bat records on National Trust properties in the South West (GBRDS)
Records for Greater Horseshoe Bat held by the National Trust on its RECORDER 3 and Batdata databases. Resource is reasonably complete. However, resource comprises only those records held electronically and data entry is ongoing for remaining records held on paper, predominantly for more recent records. These data provided as part of trial work in the NBN SW Pilot. Most data sourced from in-house and contract survey. Other data from local bat groups, individual recorders and other data holders such as LRCs. Data covers NT properties in the South West of England (= NT regions Devon & Cornwall and Wessex). Data collected, collated and held by NT in order to identify features of conservation importance for bats on NT properties, to inform future management and ensure bats and their habitat are conserved. This resource provided to Gateway, collated for the purpose of trials within the NBN SW Pilot Project. As the resource comprises two surveys (datasets), there is some duplication between them. For the purposes of this pilot project, it was felt too time consuming to rationalise the duplication at this stage. In future, these two datasets will be merged and managed as one, with rationalisation of duplicates ongoing from the merge.

Nematoda specimens of Museum d'Histoire Naturelle (GBRDS)
The national collection of parasitic nematodes, established in the 19th century, has developed since 1960 and its present diversity makes it one of the top three collections in the world. For parasites of vertebrates, it covers all groups of Secernentea (clades III, IV, V): Rhadiasides, Cosmocercides, Ascarides, Oxyurida, Spirurides, Trichostrongles, Metastrongles etc., while Adenophorea groups (clade I), are well represented (Trichinelloidea) or rare (Muspiceoidea) in the collection. For the arthopod parasites, Oxyurida and Rhigonematides make up the bulk of the collection. The Tylenchida and Mermithida are less well represented, as are the parasites of oligochaetes and molluscs. Specimens originate from around the world but tropical regions are particularly well represented. They were collected during MNHN missions or were gifts of French and foreign colleagues. In total the collection includes about 1000 lots of types, 2000 slides and over 25 000 lots in vials (a lot, preserved in 70% alcohol, corresponds to the sample taken from a host specimen and thus includes one to hundreds specimens, fixed in hot alcohol, or more rarely in 5-10% formalin).

Plantlife International - Back from the Brink vascular plant species abundance and distribution for Great Britain for the period 2002-2009 (GBRDS)
This dataset of c.2500 species records gives distribution and abundance data on Plantlife's Back from the Brink vascular plant species, it collates information collected at rare and threatened species sites by Plantlife's Staff, Flora Guardians and Contracted botanical experts over a eight -year period. The Back from the Brink programme is Plantlife's practical, hands-on response to the crisis of wild-plant loss in Britain - 35 vascular plant species have been in our care during the period this data was collated. BFB sites are monitored (usually annually) to ensure the populations are being kept at healthy levels and management techniques instigated at sites to conserve populations are working. Volunteers known as Flora Guardians undertake the majority of monitoring - this group of 400 volunteers allows Plantlife to have a presence at 240 sites across the UK.

RBINS collections (GBRDS)
The Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences houses a precious collection of zoological, anthropological, paleontological, mineralogical and geological materials and data. The renowned Iguanodons from Bernissart, ambassadors of the Belgian science institute in Brussels, represent a natural history collection currently estimated to hold over 37 million specimens. The roots of the present day collection reach far back in history. It evolved from the Natural History collection of Karel of Lotharingen, governor of The Netherlands (1712-1780) and was part of didactic materials owned by the Central School of the City of Brussels. After the independence of Belgium, the City of Brussels donated the collection to the Belgian Government and became part of the autonomous Royal Natural History Museum in 1846, known as the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences since 1948. Fieldwork by researchers and collaborators, in Belgium and abroad, donations and purchases have been expanding the assets ever since. Data presented here are coming from the darwin database, the collection management tool of the RBINS. Today, the darwin database manages information on about 350.000 specimens stored in the institute's depositories. This number rises on a daily basis thanks to the continued efforts of curators and their adjuncts that are responsible for maintaining the stored specimens and information. Our online database provides information about the collections of the Vertebrates, Invertebrates, Entomology and Paleobotany. The application will soon be expanded with paleontozoological data. The Department of Geology and the Department of Marine Ecosystems provide information on different systems. More information on these departments can be found on www.sciencesnaturelles.be/institute/structure/geology/gsb_website And www.mumm.ac.be The corner stone of the darwin database is the specimen and the information about its origin and its status. Although the status of the specimens follow the current regulations of the International Code on Zoological Nomenclature other status specifications not treated by the ICZN regulations (eg. topotype) have been maintained as supplementary information about the specimen(s) in question.

Reptile and Amphibian specimens of Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle (GBRDS)
The collection of Reptiles and Amphibians of the MusÃ©um National d'Histoire Naturelle started in the early 19th century and has handwritten catalogues that date from 1864. The records in the Reptile and Amphiphibian database were transcribed from these catalogues. Most entries have not yet been checked for errors or verified against the collections. Thus there is a great heterogeneity in taxonomy and in geographical information. Beside the individual labelling system, the collection uses numbers to store specimens according to their specific name. This allows attaching to this number various historical names and the valid one. Locality names are written usually in French transliteration. Our curators and collection managers can help users concerning these issues. Search results will give only part of the information available on the database. They help the researchers to learn about the holdings of the collection and the gross geographical origin. More detailed information can be obtained by writing to the curators. The results should not be used as primary data without check back to the specimens. The issue of the database is to prepare loan requests or visits to the collection.

Royal Museum of Central Africa - True Fruit Flies (Diptera, Tephritidae) of the Afrotropical Region (ENBI wp13) (GBRDS)
Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are one of the most economically important groups of insects in the Afrotropical Region. They cause millions of Euros of damage to fruits and vegetables, and are a major constraint to commercial and subsistence farming in the region. The family Tephritidae includes more than 5000 species worldwide, approximately 1400 species of which develop in fleshy fruits (Norrbom et al 1999). Nearly 250 of these species are capable of achieving pest status by feeding on plants of economic importance (White and Elson-Harris 1992). The Mediterranean fruit fly, or Medfly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), is currently the most important of these pests from an invasive species perspective. Of African origin, it has spread to several other continents where it causes millions of Euros in damage. It also threatens other horticultural areas (such as California and Florida in the USA and regions in eastern Australia) resulting in very expensive detecting and monitoring programmes in these regions. The destructive association of several species with commercially grown fruit and vegetable crops makes them the subject of intensive agricultural research. But fruit flies are also biologically diverse and form a significant part of the biota of any region. Besides the several pest species, the large majority of the true fruit flies are limited to a small number of indigenous host fruits, mainly from trees and shrubs. Most of them are associated with forested areas, and can be used as indicator species for the biodiversity of a given area. In addition, several fruit fly larvae develop in other parts of host plants such as the stems or flowerheads. Fruit flies database is part of the ENBI WP13 feasibility study (Collaborative project between the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, the Royal Museum for Central Africa and the National Botanical Garden.

RSPB - 2008 Twite (Carduelis flavirostris) Breeding Season Survey, Wales RSPB/CCW (GBRDS)
This survey updated a survey undertaken in 2002 by Snowdonia National Park and the National Trust. In Wales, twite are restricted primarily to northern Snowdonia around the valley of Nant Ffrancon and Llyn Ogwen, bounded by the Carneddau to the north and east, by Elidir Fawr and Y Garn to the west and by the Glyder range to the south, where breeding has been recorded since 1944 (Lovegrove et al. 1994), with post breeding flocks of over 150 birds in the recent past (1999 - 2000). This dataset also contains records other species in addition to twite which were recorded during the survey.

RSPB - Bean geese on the Slamannan Plateau, Central Scotland between 1993 and 1995 (RSPB/SNH/Bean Geese Action Group) (GBRDS)
This project investigated the distribution and habitat requirements of the Central Scotland flock of bean geese that use the Slamannan Plateau area, in the winters of 1993/1994 and 1994/1995. This flock of 130-140 bean geese is the only one in Scotland, and it is one of only two substantial flocks in the UK. The bean goose is a red data bird in Britain because of its localised winter distribution. The study also investigated geographical, location and habitat preferences of the geese, the sources and effects of disturbance, and the relationship between goose use and sward characteristics. This project is a collaboration between RSPB, Scottish Natural Heritage and the Bean Geese Action Group.

RSPB - Bearded Tit National Survey in Britain 1992 (SCARABBS) (GBRDS)
The Bearded Tit is a scarce breeding species in Britain, confined to extensive areas of reed-bed. A comprehensive survey of breeding Bearded Tits in 1992 estimated the total population in Britain to be 339-408 pairs. Preliminary surveys identified sites where breeding bearded tits were present and these were then revisited for detailed surveys. This dataset contains summary data for each site found to contain breeding Bearded Tits. Three count figures are given: the number of pairs observed during the survey and minimum and maximum estimates for the site based on this figure.
Number of records: 27
RSPB - Bearded Tit National Survey in Britain 2002 (SCARABBS) (GBRDS)
The Bearded Tit is a scarce breeding species in Britain, confined to extensive areas of reed-bed. A national survey of bearded tits was conducted in 2002 to resurvey the population following the 1992 survey. RBBP and County bird reports were used to identify any sites occupied since 1992. Preliminary visits were made to identify areas of activity followed by full surveys concentrating on these areas, with up 8 visits made to each site to monitor breeding success. Only a small proportion of the Tay estuary reedbeds were surveyed according to this method, data for the rest of this area is not available in this dataset and thus these data should not be used to make an estimate of the full UK breeding population.

RSPB - Bird Conservation Targeting Project (BCTP) in the UK, 2004-2009 (GBRDS)
The Bird Conservation Targeting Project (BCTP) produces breeding distribution maps for a suite of rare and declining farmland and/or woodland birds. The maps can be used to guide the prescription of land management advice based on the species already breeding in an area, or for allocating funding towards sites known to be important for birds. The data cover a 5-year period, and are up-dated annually. Data are collated from a wide range of sources to produce the most comprehensive maps possible. The data are displayed as presence-only records. Absence of a record does not necessarily indicate a true absence record, as there may be no data available. BCTP outputs were first produced in England in 2004, in Wales and Northern Ireland in 2008, and in Scotland in 2009. This dataset contains the non-sensitive records for England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, compiled in 2011, covering the 2005 - 2009 breeding seasons (plus any 2010 data available). The sensitive records are in a separate dataset on the NBN. The species selection varies in each country. There are non-sensitive records for 30 species in England, 26 species in Scotland, and 19 species in Northern Ireland. Welsh data are not included in this dataset, and will be added when they become available. Not all the species were updated in 2011. The most recent BCTP data available are included in this dataset. The BCTP is a partnership between the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), the Centre for Environmental Data and Recording (CEDaR), the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW), the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD), Forestry Commission England (FCE), Forestry Commission Wales (FCW), Forest Service (FS), Natural England (NE), Northern Ireland Environment Agency, the RSPB and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH).

RSPB - Bittern Annual Surveys in Britain 1990-2008 (SCARABBS) (GBRDS)
This dataset contains results from annual national surveys that are undertaken to monitor the population of Bittern Botaurus stellaris in Britain. The Bittern is a species of conservation concern. Breeding bitterns in Britain are restricted to reedbed Phragmites australis dominated habitat. Suitable habitats within the bittern range (southern Britain and Lancashire) are monitored for booming males annually. Suitable habitats out-with this are surveyed less regularly. This survey was carried out by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and Natural England undertaken within the Statutory Conservation Agencies and RSPB Breeding Birds Scheme (SCARABBS).

RSPB - Black grouse leks in the Forest of Clunie, 2002-2010 (RSPB, SNH) (GBRDS)
The Forest of Clunie is made up of five moorland areas in north-east Perthshire, and is designated SPA and SSSI for its variety of upland breeding birds. It is nationally important for black grouse. SNH operate a moorland habitat management grant scheme in the area. All farms and estates within the SSSI are included, in addition to those with suitable habitat, outwith but adjacent to the SSSI. This dataset contains records of lekking males from within the management area. There is some overlap between records in this dataset, and records collected by the Perthshire Black Grouse Study Group (GA000760). The Forest of Clunie surveys were funded by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH).

RSPB - Black grouse lek survey in Lothian and Borders, 2008 (RSPB) (GBRDS)
Black Grouse numbers in south-east Scotland fell by 69% between 1995/6 and 2005. In 2006-07, lek surveys were undertaken by the Southern Uplands Partnership, in an area occupying a rough triangle with Peebles, Selkirk and Moffat at its respective corners. This was considered to be the species local stronghold and the population here showed an apparent increase of 19% between the two years. In the spring of 2008, RSPB fieldworkers carried out a lek survey across 33 5km x 5km squares, chosen on the basis of historical records reported in The Breeding Birds of Southeast Scotland, 1988-94 (Murray et al 1998). These squares were outwith the core area surveyed by SUP in 2006/7, although one existing lek was checked here, and two new ones were discovered on its edge. In total, 18 leks were found comprising 1-7 Blackcock (mean = 2.7) and totalling 46 birds.

RSPB - Black grouse lek survey in the Scottish Borders, 2010 (Southern Upland Partnership) (GBRDS)
Black Grouse numbers in south east Scotland fell by 69% between 1995/6 and 2005. This survey was designed to provide lek distribution, and a count of lekking birds, expanding on the areas covered by smaller surveys in 2006, 2007 and 2008. This dataset contains all the positive records, some of which are multiple counts of the same birds. Hence, the sum of birds in this dataset does not match with the reported total of 230 leking males. Some data are omitted due to a confidentiality agreement with the land owner. The survey was conducted by the Southern Upland Partnership, which is supported by SNH, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, Leader, and the RSPB.

RSPB - Black grouse national surveys (SCARABBS) (GBRDS)
The male black grouse Tetrao tetrix population in Britain was surveyed in 1995/96 and 2005, in order to estimate population size. The surveys were based on counts of males displaying in the spring. In Wales and Staffordshire, the entire known population was surveyed in 1995. In northern England and Scotland in 1995/96 and 2005, and in Wales in 2005, a stratified random sample of 5 km squares from the breeding range was surveyed. As such the dataset covers around 10% of the UK population overall and does NOT contain all black grouse leks in Britain in the survey years; its aim was to produce a reliable population estimate. The 5 km squares where no black grouse were found will be included in the dataset when zero record display becomes available on the NBN. The 1995/96 survey estimated a population of 6510 males, the 2005 survey estimated population size to be 5078 males, a non-significant 22% decrease. The surveys were organised by the Statutory Conservation Agencies and RSPB Breeding Bird Surveys (SCARABBS) scheme. The 1995/96 survey was funded by the RSPB, Scottish Natural Heritage, English Nature (now Natural England), the Joint Nature Conservation Committee and the Game Conservancy Trust (now the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust). The Perthshire Black Grouse Study Group carried out a substantial part of the fieldwork. The 2005 survey was funded by the RSPB, the Countryside Council for Wales, Forestry Commission Scotland, the Game Conservancy Trust (now the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust) and the Defra Rural Development Service (now part of Natural England), and organised with substantial help from the Central Scotland Black Grouse & Capercaillie Study Group, the Perthshire Black Grouse Study Group and the Strathspey Black Grouse Study Group.

RSPB - Black Grouse Recovery Project Annual Survey in Argyll & Bute 2002-2009 (RSPB/SNH/FCS/Scottish Power) (GBRDS)
These data were collected to monitor population levels in the Argyll & Bute area as part of the Black Grouse Recovery Project. Over the period 2002 - 2010 priority sites were identified for Black Grouse Tetrao tetrix conservation in the Argyll & Bute area. These priority sites were identified by surveying known (both historical and current) leks in Argyll & Bute between 2002 and 2010. The recovery project was funded by a partnership of Scottish Natural Heritage, Forestry Commission Scotland, RSPB Scotland, Scottish Power and an award from the EsmÃ©e Fairbairn Foundation. In 2008 additional survey work was organised and funded by RSPB.

RSPB - Black-throated Diver annual records in North Scotland, 1834-2010, RSPB, SNH, NTS, SWT, RBBP, FCS, Museum Collections (GBRDS)
This dataset pulls together all available information from a wide range of sources to give a single line summary for each Black-throated Diver breeding territory in North Scotland Region in each year for which information is available. Principal sources of information are the RSPB annual monitoring program and records submitted for inclusion in the Highland Bird Report. Other data was sourced from NTS, SNH, SWT, RBBP and Forestry Commission amongst others. Much of the pre-1985 data comes from a historical dataset compiled by Greg Mudge in the early 1990s that sourced many museum collections etc. In the case of multi-territory lochs, some historical data just refers to the whole loch and does not indicate which territory the record is from. In such cases, a separate entry is made like 'loch name' consolidated. The inclusion of a site in this dataset does not neccesarily mean that it is a known breeding site. Some sites are included for future reference as a pair has been noted present in the egg laying period (27 April to 15 June). The dataset has been split into two different surveys, one contains data from egg collection (Records from egg collection), and the other contains the records from annual surveys (Records from annual surveys).

RSPB - Black-throated diver national surveys in Scotland (SCARABBS) (GBRDS)
Black-throated divers are birds of conservation concern due to the small UK population size, and large declines in the European population in the 20th century. This dataset contains records of black-throated divers from the national surveys conducted in 1985, 1994 and 2006. The 2006 survey details unique site visits, and individual birds may be reported in more than one record, recorded on different visits to the same site. The survey indicated a significant increase of 16% between 1994 and 2006. The 1985 and 1994 surveys in this dataset are breeding summaries of summering territories. The 1985 survey is incomplete, and is missing seven summering territories reported by Campbell and Talbot (British Birds, 1987). In addition to the data collected for the national surveys, this dataset also contains data collected on additional visits in the survey years. These data are either from sites that were not included in the surveys, or from sites visited outside the survey period. These data are clearly flagged in the dataset. The surveys were carried out by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) under the Statutory Conservation Agencies and RSPB Breeding Birds Scheme (SCARABBS).

RSPB - Bringing Reedbeds to Life Amphibian Survey of two key reedbed sites in England in 2010. (GBRDS)
Bringing Reedbeds to Life is an innovative programme of scientific research and habitat monitoring, coupled with practical habitat management advice and training. It represents one of the largest co-ordinated programmes of such work on reedbed wetlands for over a decade. The project aims to generate a better understanding of the requirements of a wider range of reedbed wildlife. This enhanced understanding will be used to inform advice, training, management and future conservation strategies across England's reedbeds. Spawn searches for common frogs, bottle trapping for newts and auditory and visual searches for marsh frogs were carried out between February and May 2010. Surveys were conducted at RSPB Ham Wall NNR (Somerset) and NE Stodmarsh NNR (Kent). The species encountered in systematic surveys were common frogs (Rana temporaria); marsh frogs (Pelophylax ridibundus) and smooth newts (Lissotriton vulgaris). Adult common toads (Bufo bufo) were observed in reedbed habitat at Ham Wall but were not encountered on systematic surveys. The project was led by RSPB with 50% funding from Natural England via the Countdown 2010 Biodiversity Action Fund and working in partnership with other partners such as Wildlife Trusts, The National Trust and independent ecological contractors.

RSPB - Bringing Reedbeds to Life Invertebrate Survey of three key reedbed sites in England in 2009, 2010. RSPB led project with 50% funding from Natural Engl (GBRDS)
Bringing Reedbeds to Life is an innovative programme of scientific research and habitat monitoring, coupled with practical habitat management advice and training. It represents one of the largest co-ordinated programmes of such work on reedbed wetlands for over a decade. The project aims to generate a better understanding of the requirements of a wider range of reedbed wildlife. This enhanced understanding will be used to inform advice, training, management and future conservation strategies across England's reedbeds. Water traps for aerial invertebrates, pitfall traps for ground-dwelling invertebrates, light traps for Lepidoptera and aquatic netting for aquatic invertebrates were carried out at 3 reedbed sites: Norfolk Wildlife Trust NNR Hickling Broad (Norfolk), Natural England NNR Stodmarsh (Kent), and RSPB NNR Ham Wall (Somerset). Water trap, pitfall trap and aquatic netting surveys were undertaken between June and August 2009. Light trapping for moths was done between June and August 2010. The project was led by RSPB with 50% funding from Natural England via the Countdown 2010 Biodiversity Action Fund and working in partnership with other partners such as Wildlife Trusts, The National Trust, Buglife, independent ecological contractors, Butterfly Conservation.

RSPB - Bringing Reedbeds to Life Water Vole and Mink Survey of five key reedbed sites in England in 2009, 2010. (GBRDS)
Bringing Reedbeds to Life is an innovative programme of scientific research and habitat monitoring, coupled with practical habitat management advice and training. It represents one of the largest co-ordinated programmes of such work on reedbed wetlands for over a decade. The project aims to generate a better understanding of the requirements of a wider range of reedbed wildlife. This enhanced understanding will be used to inform advice, training, management and future conservation strategies across England's reedbeds. Water voles were surveyed using two methods: water vole rafts within reedbeds and mink rafts in ditches. This is the first such systematic survey of water vole use of the internal parts of reedbeds as far as we are aware. In addition, mink records from mink rafts in ditches were analysed. Water vole raft surveys were carried out at 3 key reedbed sites: RSPB Ham Wall NNR (Somerset), NE Stodmarsh NNR (Kent) and NWT Hickling Broad NNR (Norfolk). Mink raft surveys were carried out at five sites, the additional two being Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust Far Ings NNR and National Trust Wicken Fen (Cambridgeshire). The main finding of the surveys was that water vole was present at the five reedbed sites despite the presence of mink also. Therefore reedbeds provide a habitat where the two species can coexist.

RSPB - Cetti's warbler national survey in the UK and the Channel Islands in 1996 (SCARRABS) (GBRDS)
This survey is the first systematic survey of Cetti's warblers Cettia cetti in the UK and Channel Islands. They survey located a total of 536-593 singing male at 168 sites across southern Britain and on Jersey. This was the largest number recorded since the species first colonised in the early 1970s. Two-thirds of the population was found in only four counties (Hampshire, Dorset, Devon and Somerset) and one-fifth at three individual sites. Cetti's warblers showed a clear preference for areas for scattered scrub in reed-bed, reed-swamp and by open water. Territory density in these favoured habitats was 0.41 - 2.1 per ha.

RSPB - Cirl bunting national surveys in the UK (SCARABBS) (GBRDS)
The cirl bunting Emberiza cirlus is a scarce and localised breeding bird in the UK, now being confined almost entirely to south Devon. It is on the Red List of Birds of Conservation Concern in the UK owing to the rapid decline (>50%) in the UK breeding range over the past 25 years, and has been identified as a priority species in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. Full surveys of the breeding cirl bunting population in Britain and the Channel Islands was undertaken in 1989, 1998, 2003, and in 2009 to document potential range expansion. The 1989 survey was conducted by the RSPB in conjunction with the Devon Bird Watching and Preservation Society. The 1998 survey was funded by the RSPB and Nature Conservancy Council (NCC) (now Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC)). The 2003 survey was funded by the RSPB, English Nature (now Natural England) and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). The 2009 survey was funded by the RSPB and Natural England. The surveys were carried out under the Statutory Conservation Agencies and RSPB Breeding Birds Scheme (SCARABBS) partnership.

RSPB - Common scoter national breeding surveys in Britain (SCARABBS) (GBRDS)
These surveys were carried out to establish the status and breeding distribution of common scoter in Britain during 1995 and 2007. The 1995 survey was the first national survey, however other regional surveys and estimates suggested that the British population was in decline. The 2007 survey was designed to explore whether the species had continued to decline. The 1995 survey was carried out by the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust (WWT) and the Irish Wildbird Conservancy (IWC) with financial support from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC), Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust (WWT). The 2007 survey was carried out by the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust (WWT) and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). These surveys were both carried out under the Statutory Conservation Agencies and RSPB Breeding Birds Scheme (SCARABBS) partnership, with support from the SCARABBS partner organisations.

RSPB - Corn bunting breeding distribution in Scotland (RSPB/Volunteers) (GBRDS)
Corn buntings Emberiza calandra are becoming increasingly rare in Scotland and are now restricted to small areas in the east of Scotland and the Western Isles. It is likely that agricultural intensification, including the loss of winter food supplies and a reduction in suitable nesting habitats, may have played a part in the decline, but the full picture is not yet known. Conservation action for corn buntings involves targeted research in key areas, as well as urgent management action through provision of winter food for remnant populations. In the long term, agri-environment schemes should support corn buntings, but in the short term, direct action may continue to be needed to retain corn buntings as a breeding species in Scotland.

RSPB - Corncrake national surveys - raw data (SCARABBS) (GBRDS)
At the beginning on the 20th century, corncrakes still bred all over the UK, but by the early 1990 they were restricted to a few Scottish islands. Through conservation effort from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), the decline was reversed. This dataset contains corncrake records from all annual surveys of corncrake since 1988, monitoring the increase in corncrake numbers since 1993. These surveys have been funded mainly by SNH and RSPB, but also by other partners in SCARABBS (Statutory Conservation Agencies and RSPB Breeding Birds Scheme). For each year, the dataset contains all locations of singing males, recorded on multiple visits to each area covered. Multiple observations of the same male are labelled with a unique code for that male (calls heard on separate occasions less than 200m apart are assumed to be the same bird). For all years since 1993, territory centres for each male, calculated from these observations, are provided in the dataset Annual corncrake surveys in Britain (territory centres).

RSPB - Corncrake national surveys - territory centres (SCARABBS) (GBRDS)
At the beginning on the 20th century, corncrakes still bred all over the UK, but by the early 1990 they were restricted to a few Scottish islands. Through conservation effort from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), the decline was reversed. This dataset contains corncrake records from all annual surveys of corncrake since 1993, monitoring the increase in corncrake numbers since then. These surveys have been funded mainly by SNH and RSPB, but also by other partners in SCARABBS (Statutory Conservation Agencies and RSPB Breeding Birds Scheme). For each year, a record in the dataset specifies the centre of the territory of one male corncrake. Territory centres are calculated from locations of singing males, recorded on multiple visits to each area covered (calls heard on separate occasions less than 200m apart are assumed to be the same bird). Since territory centres are calculated mean locations of male corncrakes, they are provided at 100m resolution, irrespective of the precision of the observations they are based upon. All observations of singing males are provided in the dataset Annual corncrake surveys in Britain (raw data, multiple observations of each singing male). This dataset also contains the 1988 national survey, for which territory centres were not calculated.

RSPB - Crested tit wintering survey in the UK, 1992-1995 (RSPB) (GBRDS)
These are the data from the first survey conducted on crested tit since 1979/80. The data were collected as part of a wider survey of pinewood birds (Scottish Crossbill and Capercaillie). Surveys were conducted over 3 winters, 92/93, 93/94 and 94/95, by walking transects in areas of suitable habitat (native pine forest and plantation woodland) near and within the known distribution of Crested tits. The results were used to derive a population estimate for Scotland of between 5600 and 7900 birds. This dataset contains the raw data. Details explaining how populations were derived can be found in the published paper (Summer et al 1999). Crested tits showed a clear preference for Scots Pine both within ancient native pinewoods and other woodlands. The results of this survey suggest that Crested Tits will continue to benefit from planting of Scots pines if the woods develop a heather field layer. However, they will not benefit from spruce plantations.

RSPB - Crossbills, Distribution survey in Great Britain, 1995-2005 (RSPB) (GBRDS)
This dataset represents records collected between 1995 and 2005 as part of a wider study, which was then used to infer the breeding range of the Scottish Crossbill. The data were mostly collected between January and April in the years 1995-2005 when Crossbills can reasonably be assumed to be in a territory or breeding, however since the birds were only identified by calls breeding status can not be confirmed. The Scottish Crossbill was once thought to be a subspecies of either the Common Crossbill or the Parrot Crossbill but is now thought to be Britain's only endemic bird species. A full survey was also carried out in 2008. This survey was funded by the RSPB.

RSPB - Dartford Warbler national surveys in the UK (SCARABBS) (GBRDS)
In the United Kingdom, Dartford Warblers (Sylvia undata) are mainly confined to the remaining fragments of lowland heath and, as a consequence of the interest in the flora and fauna of this much-threatened habitat, their populations and ecology have been well studied. Historically, the Dartford Warbler had a much wider distribution, and was presumably more abundant, than in recent years. Since the nineteenth century, the population went into steep decline, at least in part due to habitat loss and fragmentation. The most recent survey in 2006, however, recorded a major expansion in range and population size. The UK population has been well monitored, with full surveys in 1974, 1984, 1994 and 2006. The first two surveys were funded by RSPB; the 1994 survey was funded by RSPB and English Nature (now Natural England); the 2006 survey was funded by RSPB, BTO, Natural England and the Forestry Commission (England) under the Statutory Conservation Agencies and RSPB Breeding Bird Scheme (SCARABBS). Though the population in the UK is small compared with that of southern and western France and Spain, the species is considered to be of conservation concern in Europe because of losses in some of the most valuable habitats in Spain, including the Mediterranean maquis. 1974 Survey: This dataset includes every recorded territory. However, in the New Forest, although 203 pairs were actually found, two large areas thought to support about 40 pairs were not recorded at all and another area was only partially covered. Therefore, the total population count includes an element of estimation. The total population was estimated to be 557 pairs, which was close to the 460 pairs estimated at the last peak in 1960-61. However, the centre of the distribution had moved further west. The species is very susceptible to cold winters, but the population was high in 1974 after a long run of mild winter weather. The preferred habitat was mature heather with a generous mixture of gorse of medium height. Small fragments of heath were found to be less densely occupied than larger ones. For more information see Bibby & Tubbs (1975), British Birds 68: p177-195. 1984 Survey: The number of territories recorded in 1984 was 423. The totals recorded in this dataset represent the minimum number of breeding males, taken as equivalent to pairs, which were counted on two or more visits between April and June. Increases in territory numbers were especially noted in Surrey, which had a strong population after recovery from extinction in 1961, and Cornwall was occupied after a 40-year absence. In the centre of the range, about 10-15% of the population decline is attributed to the fact that colder winters preceded the 1984 survey compared with the mild winters preceding the 1974 survey. A loss of 75 territories was due to growth of forestry plantations, temporarily suitable in 1974 but by 1984 too old (and permanently unsuitable), and unfortunately not replaced by other new plantings. The amount of suitable habitat remained about the same in the New Forest, but declined by about 10% in Dorset. Further losses in Dorset were due to degradation of sites, and the effects of fragmentation and isolation. For more information, see Robbins & Bibby (1985), British Birds 78: 269-280. 1994 Survey: A total of 1,600-1,670 territories was recorded, though it is likely that the actual population was slightly higher (1,800-1,890 territories), representing a near four-fold increase in population since the 1984 survey. Observers were asked to visit each site (or 1km grid square in the New Forest) at least twice, once during April to mid-May and once during mid-May to the end of June. This dataset includes every territory recorded by the observers. The observers recorded the number of singing males and information such as whether the bird was calling or carrying nest material etc. They used this to information to provide their best estimate

RSPB - Farmland bird database in Dumfries and Galloway, 1999-2010 (RSPB) (GBRDS)
Farmland birds in Europe declined by almost 50% between 1980 and 2005. To gain more insight into the farmland bird population in Dumfries and Galloway, this database was compiled. Species recorded include corn bunting, curlew, grey partridge, lapwing, linnet, reed bunting, skylark, snipe, tree sparrow, twite, and yellowhammer. This database collates data from various sources to provide a record of farmland bird distribution in Dumfries and Galloway.

RSPB - Great Yellow Bumblebee sightings data in the UK, 1990 onwards (RSPB, BBCT, HBRG). (GBRDS)
The Great Yellow Bumblebee is the most severely threatened bumblebee in the UK having undergone a massive range contraction during the 20th century. Having formerly been a widespread, if somewhat scarce species, it now has a severely limited distribution on the mainland (Caithness & Sutherland only), with further colonies in the Western Isles, Coll, Tiree and Orkney. This dataset aims to collate all recent Great Yellow Bumblebee records into a single location, simplifying analysis and dissemination of these data, especially for informing conservation activities and agri-environment support applications. Records are given at 100m resolution where possible. Records for the dataset have come from the Highland Biological Recording Group, Bumblebee Conservation Trust, the RSPB's reserves' monitoring program, Bill Neill, John Crossley and Mike Edwards.

RSPB - Greenshanks national survey in the UK, 1995 (SCARABBS) (GBRDS)
This dataset contains derived breeding territories of Greenshanks from the 1995 national survey. Greenshank (Tringa nebularia) are sensitive to human land use activities such as aforestation and their breeding range is thought to have contracted, with an associated decline in breeding numbers, since 1980. However, Greenshank numbers in the Outer Hebrides are thought to have increased considerably, with breeding being confirmed on the Shetland islands for the first time in 1980. Despite the extensive study of the Greenshank breeding behaviour this was the first ever national survey of this species. The survey was funded by the RSPB, JNCC and SNH through the Statutory Conservation Agencies RSPB Annual Breeding Birds Scheme (SCARABBS) programme.
Number of records: 101
RSPB - Hen Harrier breeding surveys from the Forest of Clunie SPA, 1988 onwards (GBRDS)

RSPB - Lapwing Recovery Project, South West Scotland, 2006-2009, RSPB (GBRDS)
Breeding lapwing data collected as part of the lapwing recovery project. The aim of the project was to determine the effectiveness of agri-environment schemes. The breeding status was derived from lapwing behaviour (adults behaving like they have young or lapwing flocks present), time of survey visit, and whether there were any young recorded. On some visits breeding birds and a non breeding flock were both present on the same filed, these are recorded separately for accurate breeding status. The sites were surveyed on a field by field basis. Transforming this site based data to be grid reference based means that some grid squares may hold more than one field, that were originally surveyed separately. This means that there may be a few records that have the same grid reference, and were recorded on the same day, these are not duplicates. Lapwings have suffered significant declines, primarily because of changes in farming practices, and are now red listed as a species of high conservation concern everywhere in the UK.

RSPB - Lesser Spotted Woodpecker sample survey in England 2007 (GBRDS)
A total of 70 woods were surveyed for occupancy by Lesser spotted woodpecker in 2007. Woods were also surveyed for habitat, Great spotted Woodpecker occupancy and Grey Squirrel density. Data were analysed together with data from previous studies in the 1980s to investigate factors affecting Lesser spotted Woodpecker occupancy. This dataset contains presence/absence records for all surveyed woods along with breeding status. Records are given at 100m resolution which represents the centroid of the transect route through the wood. Work was funded by RSPB and Natural England
Number of records: 38
RSPB - Odonata records from RSPB Reserves 1970-2009 (RSPB) (GBRDS)
This dataset contains all dragonfly records from RSPB reserves. The date range for the dataset is 1970-2009 but the majority of records are from the last 10 years. Recording effort varies widely between reserves, for some reserves this dataset gives a comprehensive record of Odonata species present but other reserves have few or no records. It is hoped that ongoing data review work will facilitate the addition of further records to this dataset.

RSPB - Redshank nesting on saltmarshes in Britain (RSPB) (GBRDS)
This survey was undertaken to establish the breeding abundance and conservation status (i.e. stable, increasing or declining) of redshank nesting on saltmarshes in Britain. The survey was carried out in the 1996 breeding season covering 63 saltmarsh sites. This survey highlighted that saltmarshes support c.45% of the national population of redshank breeding in Britain. Since a previous survey carried out in 1985, there has been a 22.9% decline of redshank breeding on saltmarshes. The decline is thought to be caused by an increase in grazing pressure of saltmarshes, it was therefore suggested that mitigation procedures such as habitat creation and changes in agricultural management measures were required. This survey was carried out and funded by the RSPB.

RSPB - Red-Throated Diver National Survey in Britain in 2006 - 5km square summary (SCARABBS) (GBRDS)
These are the results of the second systematic national survey of Red-Throated Divers, in 2006. The first national survey was conducted in 1994. The 2006 survey was conducted to assess the change in population size and distribution since 1994. The work was funded by the the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), under the Statutory Conservation Agencies and RSPB Breeding Birds Scheme (SCARABBS).
Number of records: 330
RSPB - Red-throated diver national surveys in Scotland - raw data (SCARABBS) (GBRDS)
Red-throated divers are birds of conservation concern due to large declines in the 19th century. While the population increased in the 20th century, there was not considerable change to the breeding range. This dataset contains the results of systematic national surveys in 1994 and 2006. The dataset contains the raw data, i.e. un-interpreted red-throated diver sightings. As such, it does not report any indirect evidence that has been used to indicate presence in the 5km summary dataset, which is also available on the NBN. In addition to the data collected for the national surveys, this dataset also contains data collected on additional visits in the survey years. These data are either from sites that were not included in the surveys, or from sites visited outside the survey period. These data are flagged in the dataset. The surveys were carried out by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) under the Statutory Conservation Agencies and RSPB Breeding Birds Scheme (SCARABBS).

RSPB - Ring ouzel national sample survey in the UK in 1999 (SCARABBS) (GBRDS)
This is the first co-ordinated census of breeding ring ouzel Turdus torquata across the UK. A random subsample of the UK breeding range was surveyed to arrive at a population estimate, and as such the dataset does NOT contain all breeding locations of ring ouzel in the UK in 1999. Of the tetrads surveyed that were known to be occupied during the 1988-91 breeding bird atlas, 39-43% were unoccupied in 1999. The survey highlights a continuing contraction in range. The survey was run as part of the Statutory Conservation Agencies and RSPB Annual Breeding Birds Scheme (SCARABBS) and was funded jointly by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW), English Nature (now Natural England) and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). The Ring Ouzel Study Group took part in the survey, and many landowners and site managers allowed access to their land.

RSPB - Stone-curlew Annual Surveys (RSPB/Natural England) (GBRDS)
The population of stone-curlew Burhinus oedicnemus in the UK declined by 85% between 1940 and 1985, when there were only 150 ? 160 pairs. By 2008, there were over 340 breeding pairs. This dataset documents the RSPB Recovery Projects monitoring of the UK stone-curlew population in Central Southern England and East Anglia. Specially created nesting plots and areas with suitable habitat, both semi-natural and arable are surveyed throughout the breeding season (April - October). Locations of all breeding & non-breeding pairs & singletons were recorded. The dataset was funded by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and Natural England.

RSPB - Swift Inventory of Low-Level Screaming Parties in the UK, 2009 (RSPB and Swift Conservation Groups) (GBRDS)
The Swift Inventory was initiated to better understand the reasons for the decline in swifts in the UK, and to help target conservation of swift nest sites. The Swift Inventory was initially compiled in 2009, and will be updated annually. The Swift Inventory is intended to be a comprehensive inventory of swift breeding sites in the UK. It collates data from a variety of sources, primarily a public request for information and local surveys. This dataset contains reports of common swifts (Apus apus) flying at rooftop level, calling with their characteristic screaming sound. This behaviour indicates that swifts are probably nesting nearby. An accompanying dataset of swift nest sites is also available on the NBN. The Swift Inventory is a cooperative project involving the support of Concern for Swifts - Scotland, London's Swifts, Northern Ireland Swifts, the RSPB, Swift Conservation and UK Swifts.

RSPB - Tree sparrow recovery project Ã¢ÂÂ summary data, North West England, 2004-2010 (RSPB, NE, Wirral Borough Council, Cumbria Biodiversity Partnership) (GBRDS)
The project was set up as a result of a massive decline in tree sparrow numbers which had fallen by 95% between 1970-1995. The project's main objective was to provide a good supply of seed to help support wintering birds, and nestboxes for breeding. Data was collected on a farm by farm basis. Feeding station sightings and additional sightings were recorded, nest box monitoring was also undertaken. This summary dataset consists of : 1. the maximum number of nestboxes used by tree sparrow per farm per year, 2. the maximum number of tree sparrow seen at any one time during the breeding season per farm per year, 3. the maximum number of tree sparrow seen at any one time during the winter per farm per year. Where the maximum number of recorded birds or nestboxes was uncertain, the Count Type has been marked as Estimate. The grid references refer to the centroids of sites (exact site boundaries are not available), the average site size is about 66 Ha. Data collection was mainly done by volunteers and sites visits have not always been regular.

RSPB - Twite national sample survey in the UK in 1999 (SCARABBS) (GBRDS)
This dataset contains results from the first comprehensive survey of breeding twite in the UK. A random subsample of the UK breeding range was surveyed to arrive at a population estimate, and as such the dataset does NOT contain all breeding locations of twite in the UK in 1999. There were an estimated 10 000 pairs of breeding twite in the UK in 1999, with the range lying between 6000 and 15 000 pairs. The majority, 9948 (95% confidence intervals 6293-14 586) pairs, was recorded in Scotland and England. Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) and English Nature (now Natural England) helped fund this survey as part of the Statutory Conservation Agencies/RSPB Annual Breeding Birds Scheme (SCARABBS). Thanks also to all the staff and volunteers who assisted with data collection.
Number of records: 98
RSPB - Twite, winter distribution in Caithness and Sutherland 2006/7 (GBRDS)
A repeat survey of Twite wintering in Caithness was undertaken in 2006/07 to give a comparable estimate of abundance to that of earlier surveys during 1992â98. To determine winter abundance and distribution more widely, the survey was extended to Sutherland. A comprehensive search for seed-rich habitats favoured by Twite, such as stubbles and weedy brassica crops, was undertaken in Caithness in October 2006. These were then surveyed monthly using co-ordinated, multiobserver counts, between November 2006 and March 2007. The mid-winter count was 311 and 441 birds in December and January, respectively. This is considered a near complete count of the population.

RSPB - White-tailed eagle reintroduction in Scotland - Sightings data (RSPB/SNH) (GBRDS)
The white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) is a resident breeding bird in Scotland and the largest bird of prey in the UK. It is listed in the Red List of Birds of Conservation Concern in the UK because of its long-term population decline and since it is a rare breeder in the UK and across its European range. Sightings have been collated from the Scottish white-tailed eagle recovery project, begun in 1975 on Rum. A second reintroduction took place between 1993 and 1998 in Wester Ross. These reintroduction projects were carried out in collaboration with Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), also benefiting from expertise from the Centre of Ecology and Hydrology (CEH), the Join Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) and the National Trust for Scotland (NTS). In Scotland, we gratefully acknowledge support over the years of, among others, Forestry Commission Scotland, Strathclyde Police and Northern Constabulary, as well as landowners, crofters, farmers, fishermen, wildlife tour operators, volunteers and others in rural communities in the west of Scotland. East Scotland Sea Eagles, a partnership between RSPB Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage and Forestry Commission Scotland, is the third phase of a successful reintroduction programme. Data from this 2007 reintroduction will be added in a future update. All records containing references to nests and roost sites have been marked as sensitive and are not available for viewing by the public.

Slovenian Fungal Database - Boletus informaticus (GBRDS)
This resource contains records from Slovenian Fungal Database - Boletus informaticus on 31th March 2008. The resource represents the collected data on the species and distribution of fungi in Slovenia from the archives of the Mycological Association of Slovenia and the personal archives of its members, as well as, in part, from existing collections and literature sources. A computer program for inputting data on fungi in Slovenia is called Boletus informaticus. The program is aimed at systematically recording species of fungi, their distribution, and data regarding their habitat, in addition the program allows various ways processing materials, various means of data retrieval, and cartographical presentations of finds. When the related monograph (DuÅ¡an Jurc, Andrej Piltaver, Nikica Ogris. 2005. Fungi of Slovenia: species and distribution. Studia forestalia Slovenica, 124, Ljubljana, Slovenian Forestry Institute: 497 p.) was published in 2005, there were 114,620 records that describe distribution of 2,452 species of fungi in Slovenia. On 31th March 2008 the BI database had 160,757 records. These records give distribution to 2763 fungi species. All mentioned records are published here.

Small Mammal Research Database (GBRDS)
This is a part of a research database of Dept. of Ecology, containing results of a study of ecology of small mammals. The material has been collected in the western-central part of Poland close to the of village Turew. The area is mainly of agricultural character, where woodlots are sorrouned by extensive crop fields. The study area involved six woodlots of diferent size (from 1,5 ha to 9,5 ha) and isolation, varying in distance to neighboring forest patches from 5 m to approximately 900 m. To estimate the effects of spatial distibution and variability habitat patches in a landscape on population dynamics of small rodents the CMR (catch-mark-release) method was used. Thirteen trapping sessions, five day each, have been made during three years (1995 to 1997) of studies. References: Kozakiewicz M., Gortat T., Kozakiewicz A., Barkowska M. 1999.

LâHerbier de Tsimbazaza (TAN) a Ã©tÃ© Ã©tabli en 1950 comme subdivision du dÃ©partement Flore du PBZT. Câest lâun des deux herbiers nationaux de Madagascar. Outre des espÃ¨ces indigÃ¨nes malgaches, le TAN abrite des collections de matÃ©riaux originaires dâautres Ã®les de lâocÃ©an Indien, de certains pays d'Afrique continentale, d'Europe et d'Asie. Au cours des annÃ©es 1950, 1960 et 1970, des spÃ©cimens collectÃ©s par de cÃ©lÃ¨bres botanistes franÃ§ais (Bosser, Cours Darne, Decary, Descoings, Humbert et Morat) ont Ã©tÃ© dÃ©posÃ©s au TAN. La collaboration du TAN avec de nombreuses institutions locales (UniversitÃ© dâAntananarivo, ANGAP, PSFH) et Ã©trangÃ¨res (MBG, Kew, CAS, UniversitÃ©s de NeuchÃ¢tel et de Vienne) a permis dâaccroÃ®tre le nombre de ses collections. L'Herbier compte actuellement 80 000 spÃ©cimens environ. En 1994, le TAN avait atteint la limite de ses capacitÃ©s dâaccueil ; pourtant, il continuait Ã dÃ©velopper ses collections Ã un rythme moyen de 3 000 nouveaux spÃ©cimens par an. En raison du manque d'espace, les nouveaux spÃ©cimens devaient Ãªtre entreposÃ©s et nâÃ©taient donc pas accessibles aux chercheurs. La construction dâune annexe ayant Ã©tÃ© achevÃ©e en 2004, le TAN est dÃ©sormais en mesure dâaccueillir lâensemble de ses matÃ©riaux. La numÃ©risation des collections a dÃ©butÃ© en 1992 en collaboration avec le Jardin botanique du Missouri (MBG). Environ 20 000 spÃ©cimens du TAN, appartenant Ã 65 familles vÃ©gÃ©tales diffÃ©rentes, sont d'ores et dÃ©jÃ disponibles par l'intermÃ©diaire de la base de donnÃ©es TROPICOS.

Il est actuellement gÃ©rÃ© par le Centre national de la recherche appliquÃ©e au dÃ©veloppement rural (FO.FI.FA). Ses collections sont principalement composÃ©es dâarbres indigÃ¨nes collectÃ©s Ã partir dâun rÃ©seau de zones protÃ©gÃ©es, forÃªts classÃ©es et stations forestiÃ¨res de Madagascar. Lâun des principaux objectifs du TEF est dâassurer la conservation dâune collection de rÃ©fÃ©rence de la flore ligneuse de Madagascar. Il se consacre aussi Ã la collecte et Ã la conservation de donnÃ©es primaires permettant de dÃ©terminer le cadre taxinomique dÃ©limitant les espÃ¨ces. Câest enfin une source d'information gÃ©ographique sur la distribution des espÃ¨ces. On estime que le TEF contient 60 000 spÃ©cimens. Un catalogue manuscrit complet des spÃ©cimens collectÃ©s par les agents du service forestier du FO.FI.FA est maintenu Ã jour. La numÃ©risation des collections a dÃ©butÃ© en 1992 en collaboration avec le Jardin botanique du Missouri (MBG). De nombreux spÃ©cimens du TEF sont disponibles en ligne via la base de donnÃ©es TROPICOS, dont plus de 20 000 appartenant aux sÃ©ries Service forestier et RÃ©serves naturelles. Les recherches actuelles du TEF et ses activitÃ©s de conservation sont menÃ©es avec le soutien de partenaires internationaux et nationaux. Cette collaboration conduit Ã l'ajout de nouveaux spÃ©cimens dans la mesure oÃ¹ les collaborateurs sont tenus de remettre un double de leurs spÃ©cimens Ã lâherbier. Les dÃ©partements de recherche du FO.FI.FA sont surtout actifs dans le domaine de la systÃ©matique vÃ©gÃ©tale et de l'identification des spÃ©cimens. Le TEF participe Ã la formation des Ã©tudiants et Ã leurs recherches en collaboration avec l'UniversitÃ© d'Antananarivo.

TestWat (GBRDS)
Freshwater bodies perform a very important role in the ecological network and they are of great importance for biodiversity conservation. Because of their quick response to local and regional changes in environmental conditions, they are sensitive indicators of ongoing processes. Many users of these freshwater bodies need (or need to develop) a certain ecological quality. To optimize the ecological function of lentic freshwater systems a good understanding of their condition and occurring changes is needed and a specific reference situation is required. A classification that leans on a broad ecological base is essential. To have, in the future, a more objective and effective way to perform nature conservation, to prioritize nature development ect, we need to map the different types of freshwater bodies. We also need more knowledge related to environmental circumstances who can secure sustainable development of aquatic communities. The main objective of this study include the simplification of the main variety of permanent lentic freshwater systems in Flanders into workable units for environmental assessment, management and planning. A hierarchic typology will be worked out, based on biotic and ecological characteristics of key factors. The data collected in this context they are also important for determining the ongoing ecological status of still waters and to develop specific targets and a pragmatic evaluation method.

Texas Natural History Collections, Ichthyology (GBRDS)
The Ichthyology collection contains 45,857 lots (1,020,608 specimens). These specimens represent 1673 species from 781 genera in 244 families. 53 out of 62 orders (following Nelson, 2006) are represented. Nearly all of Texas 266 species are represented. As such, the bulk of our specimens (80%) are Texas freshwater fishes. All Texas specimens (freshwater, saltwater, and brackish water) account for 87% of our collection. Earliest cataloged collections date from the late 1920's, with a few collections from the 1930's and 1940's. There was significant collection growth in the 1950's through1980's, mainly due to Dr. Clark Hubbs, his students and family. In 1990, The University of Texas Marine Science Institute's (UTMSI) collection from the Gulf of Mexico was donated to the TNHC. Orphaned collections, acquired between 2000 and 2003, from Midwestern State University (MWSU), Texas Tech University (TTU), Texas A& M University at Kingsville (TAIC), and The University of Texas at Brownsville (UTB) have added 138,213 specimens (8986 lots) to the collection thus far. Collecting efforts continue to date, with many incoming Texas species being donated as river study voucher specimens by Texas Parks and Wildlife and the USGS. TNHC research associates are focusing on distributions of Texas species, while Dr. Hendrickson and his collaborators continue to add valuable Mexican material. The osteology collection consists of both dry (481 specimens) and cleared and stained (937 specimens). We have osteological preparations of as many of Texas' 266 species as our holding would allow. The TNHC Fish Tissue Collection is small and uncataloged, but within this calendar year will be formally initiated, and stored in liquid nitrogen freezers already installed in our collection facility. We anticipate rapid growth of the tissue collection in conjunction with extensive fieldwork planned for the near future. Specimens Types include Whole specimens, Partial specimens, Tissue samples, Photographs, Illustrations, X-Rays, Digital, GIS. Preservative Types include Ethyl Alcohol, Isopropyl Alcohol, Formalin, Dried, Glycerine.

The Korean Freshwater Fishes (GBRDS)
The Korean peninsula has about 961 freshwater fishes consisting of 41 orders and 203 families, of which 212 species are freshwater species (Kim and Park, 2002). Recently, for conservation of wild species in the world, there was such treaties as Convention and International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and Convention on Biological Diversiry (CBD). However, our aquatic environments have been exposed to various water pollutions as well as exploitations, and species of Korean freshwater fishes are gradually disappearing or reducing. Fortunately, 15 freshwater fishes are classified to protected or endangered fishes by Ministry of Environment, and they are protected by the law. However, because information on Korean freshwater fishes are limited to some scientists or professional literatures, students and amateurs is difficult to access. Therefore, it may be required a system that can be more useful for amateur and specialist, or students who wants to get a information on Korean freshwater fish. To satisfy the above purposes, we constructed database on 212 Korean freshwater fishes in Korean and English by internet (http://kffish.chonbuk.ac.kr) for providing much information on their description, distribution, ecology, respectively. This DB was divided into four groups: the endemic, endangered or protected, exotic and general species. Also, for more convenient search, it was primarily used many key words by a scientific name, the family name and the common name, even by photographs. It was given the searches by the collected areas, or streams and rivers. Also, this DB is focused on the biodiversity of the Korean freshwater fishes which may be faced with serious ecological problems caused by the development and water pollutions.

Two new species of Brueelia KÃ©ler, 1936 (Ischnocera, Philopteridae) parasitic on Neotropical trogons (Aves, Trogoniformes) (GBRDS)
Two new species of Brueelia are described and illustrated. These new species and their type hosts are: Brueelia sueta ex Pharomachrus pavoninus (Spix, 1824), the Pavonine Quetzal and Brueelia cicchinoi ex Trogon viridis Linnaeus, the White-tailed Trogon. Both new species differ from the only Brueelia described on Trogon mexicanus by many morphological features, including those present in the male genitalia and female vulvar margin. Partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene for these two new species differ from one another by 13.6% uncorrected p-distance. Whereas B. cicchinoi is only 0.3% divergent from previously published COI sequences identified as Brueelia sp. from the Mexican T. melanocephalus Gould, 1936 and T. massena Gould, 1938. We also found B. cicchinoi on T. melanurus, T. collaris and Pharomachrus pavoninus. Thus B. cicchinoi is found on multiple trogoniform hosts across an extremely large geographic distribution and has one of the largest number of host associations among Brueelia species.

El Herbario MGC pertenece a la Universidad de MÃ¡laga y estÃ¡ gestionado por el Departamento de BiologÃa Vegetal (Ãrea de BotÃ¡nica). Se encuentra situado en la planta baja de la Facultad de Ciencias con una superficie aproximada de 50 m2. Las plantas estÃ¡n colocadas en un doble pliego e introducidas en cajas de cartÃ³n, que a su vez se hallan incluidas en armarios compactos. Todo el material es congelado y fumigado periÃ³dicamente. El Herbario incluye cerca de 80.000 pliegos, el 95% identificados a nivel de especie y todos ellos etiquetados y registrados bajo las siglas MGC. Se hallan representados fundamentalmente los grupos pertenecientes a CormÃ³fitos (Angiospermas, Gimnospermas y Helechos), aunque tambiÃ©n lo estÃ¡n algas, briÃ³fitos y liquenes. Los territorios mejor representados en el Herbario corresponden a AndalucÃa, aunque tambiÃ©n posee numerosas plantas procedentes del resto de EspaÃ±a y del norte de Marruecos. Se trata de un Herbario bÃ¡sico en los proyectos de Flora IbÃ©rica, Flora de AndalucÃa y norte de Ãfrica, y Flora de AndalucÃa Oriental, por lo que la mayorÃa del material ha sido confirmado o identificado por los investigadores de dichos proyectos. En la actualidad estÃ¡ siendo informatizado mediante el programa Herbar del Proyecto GBIF. MGC Herbarium belongs to the University of MÃ¡laga, and is conducted by the Vegetal Biology Department (Botany Area). It is placed on the ground floor in the Science Faculty, with an extension of around 50 m2. The plants are covered by a double sheet and put in pasteboard boxes, which are, at the same time, included into compact lockers. All the material is periodically frozen and fumigated. The Herbarium has nearly 80.000 sheets, 95% identified at specie level, and all of them with a label and a registration number with the letters MGC. Cormophyta groups (Angyospermae, Gymnospermae and Pteridophyta) are the most represented, although there are also Algae, Bryophyta and Lichen. The majority of the plants in the Herbarium have their origin in territories of Andalusia, but it contains many plants from the rest of Spain and Northern Morocco too. It is an essential Herbarium for the projects Flora Iberica, Flora de AndalucÃa y norte de Ãfrica, and Flora de AndalucÃa Oriental, so the greater part of the material has been confirmed or identified by the researchers of these projects. Nowadays, it is being computerized using GBIF Project HERBAR program.

WII Herbarium Dataset (GBRDS)
This paper describe the herbarium dataset of the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), Dehradun, India. Altogether 4867 specimens are housed at WII herbarium, of which 4322 are digitized and published through the GBIF network. Since the inception of Wildlife Institute of India, the experts from Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) and scientists, trainees, researcher, students and herbarium staff had initiated collection of plant specimens from various protected areas distributed in all the biogeographic zones of the country. These specimens are preserved with dry preservation technique and kept in herbarium cabinets according to the Benthem & Hookerâs classification (1862-1883). The main contributors to the herbarium specimens were W.A. Rodgers, G.S. Rawat, S.S.R. Bennet, J.L. Shrivastava, Ramesh, M.M. Babu, P.L. Saklani and Parmar. The collection material is mainly utilized by the researchers and field managers from the respective protected areas of the country to prepare a checklist for Management plan. Accession of new specimens and digitization of existing ones is an ongoing process at the herbarium. It is envisaged that the herbarium will house over 2000 specimens by 2015.

William Nylander lichen collection (GBRDS)
Nylander Herbarium (H-NYL) is another major collection that is kept separate at the Botanical Museum of the Finnish Museum of Natural History. It comprises about 52 000 specimens of lichens (and some other fungi) from all over the world and includes an abundance of type specimens. The collection was received from the Finnish (- French) lichenologist William Nylander (1822-1899). Initially, Nylander was a medical doctor, then chose a career as an entomologist and finally focused on botany and lichens. He was appointed as the first Professor of Botany at our university in 1857 (then Imperial Alexander University), but resigned in 1863 and relocated to Paris, where he continued as a freelance scientist. Nylander's lichenological publications comprise over 300 titles and 4 000 pages and he described approximately 3 000 lichen taxa.

Because most specimens are not individually labeled, the total number in the collection is probably much higher: at least 50,000 specimens. Included are 353 type specimens: 1 cotype, 45 holotypes, 1 neotype, 26 lectotypes, 63 syntypes, 64 paralectotypes, 151 paratypes, 63 syntypes, 2 topotypes. Most of the material has been collected in Indonesia and Suriname. There is a large collection of Chameleons (Hillenius, 1959), Anura from Madagascar (Blommers SchlÃ¶sser, 1980; Vences, 2005); The European herpetofauna is also well represented, with a focus on the Dutch herpetofauna (A. Zuiderwijk) and European newts (J.W. Arntzen). The herpetologist, the late Dick Hillenius, was the first curator of this collection and between 2002-2005 Miguel Vences curated the herpetology collection. Vences increased the number of specimens from Madagascar and described numerous new species based on ZMA material.

Zoological Museum Amsterdam, University of Amsterdam (NL) â Mammalia (GBRDS)
The mammal collection of the Zoological Museum Amsterdam (ZMA) currently holds about 30,000 specimens. It started as a zoological and anatomical collection and the first director of ZMA, Max Weber is famous for his influential handbook Die SÃ¤ugetiere, which appeared in the early 1900s. His assistant J.H. Kruimel collected many mammal fossils in South Chile and in the 1930s, A.C.V. van Bemmel collected fossils in Tegelen, among which the first cercopithecine for the Netherlands. At this time the ZMA collection was enlarged with those of the Amsterdam Zoo (including the zoological collection of Vrolik). Van Bemmel went to Indonesia and donated his mammal collection from Indonesia to ZMA. Since 1960, P.J.H. van Bree became curator until 1992 and he started registering and reorganising the rapidly growing mammal collection. Specimens are from all orders from all over the world, but especially collected in South East Asia (e.g. Indonesia), Africa and Europe. Currently, there are 123 type specimens, such as the unique holotype of fossil cetacean Vanbreenia trigonia, and 6 holotypes of Chiroptera. Other highlights are a Blue Buck (Hippotragus leucophaeus) skull and a mounted specimen of the last living Quagga (Equus quagga quagga).
