The FIP provides information on freshwater research resources and tools for the assessment and management of freshwater ecosystems. Existing freshwater datasets are described in the Freshwater Metadatabase and are partly included into the AQUACROSS IP. Go to http://data.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu/metadb/ if you want to learn more about specific datasets. Occurrence data of freshwater species can be found in the Freshwater Biodiversity Data Portal (http://data.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu) and spatial data are presented in the Global Freshwater Biodiversity Atlas (http://atlas.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu).

  • AQEM/STAR invertebrate database
    This database contains the macro-invertebrate data that were collected during the AQEM and STAR projects. Samples were taken in 14 European countries using the multi-habitat-sampling (MHS) method as well as the RIVPACS methodology for selected sites. Taxa were identified to the most precise achievable level. Additionally the database contains information on hydromorphology and environmental parameters. The latter include stressor gradients along which the samples were taken. Supplementary fish, macrophyte and diatom data from the STAR project are separately available and can be linked to the invertebrate database. The AQEM and STAR projects were funded by the EU 5th Framework Programme (FP5). More information on this dataset can be found in the Freshwater Metadatabase - BF11 (http://www.freshwatermetadata.eu/metadb/bf_mdb_view.php?entryID=BF11).

  • Diatom and Non-diatom (Soft-algae) Taxa Names
    Sets of names used for analysis of algal samples in the USGS NAWQA, EPA NARS, and ANSP projects A common set of names is important for maximizing taxonomic consistency among analysts and comparability among datasets. Academy phycologists and collaborators, with support from the USGS, US EPA, and several state agencies, have developed and maintained a set of taxa names for use in agency sponsored projects and elsewhere. The current set of names (2011) has evolved from initial sets over the past 15-20 years. Many phycologists at several institutions have contributed to expanding and updating the names. Much of this work was supported by the USGS and documented in USGS NAWQA Workshop reports. The first set of names, or “taxonomic systems”, was developed in 1994. Names have been updated about every 3 years, typically as part of USGS NAWQA taxonomic workshops.

  • Critical Site Network Tool
    The Critical Site Network (CSN) Tool is an online resource for the conservation of 294 species of waterbirds and the important sites upon which they depend in Africa and Western Eurasia. Leading global conservation organisations working for the protection of waterbirds and their habitats joined forces to develop this tool, strengthening the implementation of the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA) and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. The tool makes it easy to obtain information on the sites critical for waterbird species by accessing several independent databases and analysing information at the biogeographical population level, so providing a comprehensive basis for management and decision making. It is designed to help a range of different users from site managers to national authorities and international organisations. The CSN Tool, one of the major achievements of the Wings Over Wetlands (WOW) project, is also an important example of the added value of cooperation between likeminded conservation organisations, international conventions and agreements, governments, UN agencies and other donors. The CSN Tool supports both AEWA and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. It is also relevant to the EU Birds Directive and the Bern Convention’s Emerald Network.

  • Fishes of Canada: Annotated Checklist
    This work available at http://www.briancoad.com/fishes%20of%20canada%20titlepage.htm attempts a definitive listing of the scientific, English and French names of fishes for Canada. New species and species new to this ichthyofauna are still being discovered and the taxonomy changes over time. The list has over 278 taxa not given in McAllister (1990) and over 247 taxa not given in Coad et al. (1995), the last complete listings of this ichthyofauna. The list published by the American Fisheries Society (AFS) for North America (Nelson et al., 2004) encompasses Mexico, the U.S.A. and Canada but naturally contains many species not found in Canadian waters, does not extend to depths below 200 metres in the sea, and has French names only for species found in Québec.

    Metadatabase about biodiversity Monitoring schemes: The EuMon consortium, comprising 16 partners from 11 EU-countries, designed databases and carried out online surveys to provide an overview of monitoring approaches and monitoring organisations in Europe. One database, the PMN database, covers characteristics of organisations that involve volunteers in biodiversity monitoring (see Overview graphs& tables and BioMAT background information) and a second one, called DaEuMon, addresses coverage and methodological aspects of biodiversity monitoring. Both databases are automatically updated with each new entry. BioMAT allows extracting information from the databases to generate graphs and tables or to contact monitoring schemes for particular habitats or species groups. On this page we provide information on DaEuMon.

These lists are periodically updated. Do not hesitate to download the systematic files proposed on this page. They contain the species recorded or potentially present in Switzerland or in its neighbouring areas. The following information is provided: order, family, genera, species, subspecies, author, local names (in several languages) and national red list status if they exist. The nomenclature used for the selected groups is based on reference works recognised and systematically used either on a national scale (for example Fauna Helvetica, Diptera Checklist, 1998), or on a European scale (for example Freude, Harde & Lohse for the Coleoptera; The Lepidoptera of Europe, 1996). The choice which has been made is obviously subjective, but it has the advantage of being clear. Following groups are included in the taxonomic DB : Amphibia / Reptilia, Araneae, Coleoptera, Crustacea Decapoda and Isopoda, Diplopoda, Diptera, Ephemeroptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera aculeata, Ixodida, Lepidoptera, Mammalia, Mollusca, Neuroptera, Odonata, Orthopteroidea, Pisces, Plecoptera, Scorpionida, and Trichoptera.

  • Diatoms and Other Algae: The ANSP Algae Image Database
    The ANSP Algae Image Database contains light micrograph images of diatom taxa from rivers throughout the USA. Many taxa are represented. There are multiple images of several to help represent within-taxon variability. The images were made primarily by ANSP Patrick Center Phycology Section staff as part of their routine analysis of algal samples. Purposes of the database are to: provide a set of reference images for ANSP algal analysts and collaborators to help them maintain consistency in taxonomic identifications help document names of taxa used in papers and reports by providing easy access to representative images make images available to other phycologists as a resource to help with identifications The set of images available here is not meant to be comprehensive or to be taxonomically definitive, but only to show representative specimens that can be used to supplement image resources in the published taxonomic literature. Read the documentation to learn more about the database and how to search for and view images. More images will be added on a regular basis.

[doi:10.1890/08-1494.1] Paper abstract: Analyses of life-history, ecological, and geographic trait differences among species, their causes, correlates, and likely consequences are increasingly important for understanding and conserving biodiversity in the face of rapid global change. Assembling multispecies trait data from diverse literature sources into a single comprehensive data set requires detailed consideration of methods to reliably compile data for particular species, and to derive single estimates from multiple sources based on different techniques and definitions. Here we describe PanTHERIA, a species-level data set compiled for analysis of life history, ecology, and geography of all known extant and recently extinct mammals. PanTHERIA is derived from a database capable of holding multiple geo-referenced values for variables within a species containing 100740 lines of biological data for extant and recently extinct mammalian species, collected over a period of three years by 20 individuals. PanTHERIA also includes spatial databases of mammalian geographic ranges and global climatic and anthropogenic variables. Here we detail how the data fields are extracted and defined for PanTHERIA using a customized data input format (MammalForm); how data were collected from the literature, species names and sources tracked, error-checking and validation procedures applied, and how data were consolidated into species-level values for each variable. Tables of the consolidated species-level values are made available for each of two recent species-level taxonomic classifications of mammals, as well as associated taxonomic synonymy conversion and data-input files. This study provides a useful guide to prospective researchers on how to structure and codify life-history, ecological, geographic, and taxonomic data and methods to extract meaningful species-level traits. It also provides comprehensive information on traits like size, diet, environmental conditions, and ecology to permit macroecological and macroevolutionary analyses of this important clade.

  • Freshwater Fishes of Iran
    The website at http://www.briancoad.com/Species%20Accounts/Contents%20new.htm aims to be a guide to the freshwater fishes of Iran. There are no modern keys to this fauna, some available books are incomplete or cursory treatments or outdated, and the detailed and diverse scientific literature is widely scattered in time, languages and journals. Iran lies at a region of major zoogeographical interchange and has a diverse and interesting ichthyofauna about which comparatively little is known. An accurate identification is a pre-requisite for further scientific studies and this website aims to serve that purpose and to be an introductory guide to the fishes. The guide is aimed at a mixed audience, including scientists familiar with ichthyology to whom some introductory sections of this work will be superfluous, and those whose knowledge of fishes is embryonic or who may have limited access to literature sources.

  • Plankton net
    The PLANKTON*NET data provider at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research is an open access repository for plankton-related information. It covers all types of phytoplankton and zooplankton from marine and freshwater areas. PLANKTON*NET's greatest strength is its comprehensiveness as for the different taxa image information as well as taxonomic descriptions can be archived. PLANKTON*NET also contains a glossary with accompanying images to illustrate the term definitions. PLANKTON*NET therefore presents a vital tool for the preservation of historic data sets as well as the archival of current research results. Because interoperability with international biodiversity data providers (e.g. GBIF) is one of our aims, the architecture behind the new planktonnet@awi repository is observation centric and allows for mulitple assignment of assets (images, references, animations, etc) to any given observation. In addition, images can be grouped in sets and/or assigned tags to satisfy user-specific needs . Sets (and respective images) of relevance to the scientific community and/or general public have been assigned a persistant digital object identifier (DOI) for the purpose of long-term preservation (e.g. set "Plankton*Net celebrates 50 years of Roman Treaties", handle: 10013/de.awi.planktonnet.set.495) More information on this dataset can be found in the Freshwater Metadatabase - BFE_70 (http://www.freshwatermetadata.eu/metadb/bf_mdb_view.php?entryID=BFE_70).

  • Freshwater Fishes of Colombia
    Fish database used in the paper: J.A. Maldonado-Ocampo, Vari, R.P., Usma, J.S. (2008) Checklist of the Freshwater Fishes of Colombia. Biota Colombiana 9 (2) 143 - 237. This paper includes a checklist of the native freshwater fishes of Colombia by river basin. Paper abstract: Data derived from the literature supplemented by examination of specimens in collections show that 1435 species of native fishes live in the freshwaters of Colombia. These species represent 14 orders and 47 families. Orders with the largest numbers of species in the Colombian continental ichthyofauna are the Characiformes (637 species), Siluriformes (524 species), Perciformes (124 species), and Gymnotiformes (74 species), with the remaining 10 orders having from 1 to 35 species. At the family level, the Characidae has the greatest number of species (399 species), with this followed by the Loricariidae (166 species), Cichlidae (114 species), Pimelodidae (54 species), and Trichomycteridae (54 species); the remaining 42 families having 1 to 52 species. Present data indicate that 311 of the species occur solely at locations within Colombia. Continued descriptions of new species from the continental waters of Colombia demonstrate that the present total underestimates the species-level diversity of the ichthyofauna. The 1435 species living in Colombian freshwaters represent approximately 5% of all freshwater and marine fish species now recognized worldwide and approximately 29% of the freshwater fish species known to inhabit the drainages across the expanse from the southern border of Mexico through to Chile and Argentina. Various historical and ecological factors potentially contributing to the species-level richness of the Colombian freshwater fish fauna are discussed (e.g. geology, climate, physiography, water chemistry).

  • Rotifera of Chihuahuan Desert Waters
    Deserts are contradictions; while above ground terrestrial productivity is low, they support a remarkable degree of biodiversity and harbor large numbers of endemic terrestrial and freshwater taxa. Indeed the aquatic oases of the four North American deserts have been likened to a freshwater Galapagos for their potential biodiversity and ecological and evolutionary significance (Dinerstein et al., 2000). Unfortunately, little is known of the zooplankton communities of deserts. We surveyed >145 aquatic sites in the Chihuahuan Desert (both USA and Mexico) representing 13 broad categories of habitats, from small rock pools to large reservoirs. Our purposes included characterizing the rotifer community structure and identify phylogeographic patterns among selected taxa. Our survey yielded >250 species, which, according to Segers (2007), represents about 16% of known rotifer species.

  • Limnological catalogue of Mongolian Lakes
    The Limnological catalogue of Mongolian Lakes is available at http://www.geodata.es/mongolian_lakes/. Mongolia is a vast Central Asian country with the world's most extreme continental climate and notable aridity. Nevertheless, it has a great abundance and variety of lakes, some of which are large enough to be classified among the largest in Eurasia. It also has a considerable network of fast-flowing rivers that ramble undisturbed through spacious alluvial plains. Human intervention is barely detectable, both due to the scant population and its traditional occupations, consisting basically of livestock grazing; this has preserved Mongolian lakes and rivers in a pristine condition up to our times. Since 2005 a Spanish team is prospecting Mongolia attracted by the existence of lakes with great similarities to those in the most arid Iberian territories, lakes which have either disappeared entirely in Iberia or are seriously damaged today. The Water Research Center of the National University of Mongolia, is actively involved in the project. This center is an inter schools unit allowing scientists from different disciplines at national and international institutions work together helping government and communities to manage, protect and restore water ecosystems through holistic research approach.
