Global Species Databases

As part of the Species2000 initiative CABI incorporated Global Species Databases (GSD) and Regional Species Databases (RSD) in the Catalogue of Life. GSDs contain complete, internally consistent taxonomy of a single species, or all species in a genus or higher taxon, on a global basis. RSDs are derived from regional checklists or other lists (e.g. of agriculturally important fungi). Some of these data result from in-house work and others have been contributed by other experts. We are grateful for these data-sets and full acknowledgement to the original compilers is stated. Contact links to compilers web sites where additional information (e.g. bibliographies, illustrations and on-line identification keys) is available. If you would like to contribute data please contact us.
