Flora do Brasil 2020 under construction. Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro. Available at: <p></p>http://floradobrasil.jbrj.gov.br/ . Accessed on: 10 Oct. 2019 The Brazilian Flora 2020 project is part of the Reflora Programme and is being conducted with the support of the Sistema de Informação sobre a Biodiversidade Brasileira (SiBBr). At the moment has nearly 700 scientists working in a network to prepare the monographs. These researchers are also responsible for nomenclatural information and geographic distribution (coverage in Brazil, endemism and biomes), as well as valuable data regarding life forms, substrate and vegetation types for each species.<p></p>

Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species: GRIIS DwCA
Published via GBIF by the Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG). The Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species (GRIIS) presents validated and verified checklists (inventories) of introduced (alien) and invasive alien species at the country, territory, and associated island level. Phase 1 of the project focused on developing validated and verified checklists of countries that are Party to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Phase 2 which is on-going, aims to achieve global coverage including non-party countries and all overseas territories of countries e.g. Netherlands, France and United Kingdom. Species belonging to all Kingdoms are covered as well as occurring in all Environment/systems. Country/ Territory/ Island checklists are reviewed and verified by networks of country or species experts. Verified checklists/ species records as well as those under review are presented on the online GRIIS website (www.griis.org). Individual species records are flagged with a __yes__ for verification. Only verified checklists/ species records are presented on the GBIF Portal. <p></p>https://www.gbif.org/dataset/search?publishing_org=cdef28b1-db4e-4c58-aa71-3c5238c2d0b5<p></p>

PanTHERIA: PanTHERIA (704) in DwCA - old
PanTHERIA is 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.

AnAge: AnAge text (40) DwCA
AnAge is a database of longevity and ageing in animals. It features quantitative life history data for over 4,000 species, including extensive longevity records, body masses at different developmental stages, reproductive data, and physiological traits related to metabolism. In addition to quantitative data, AnAge also features comments and observations related to ageing or relevant to the life history of individual taxa. AnAge features a manually-curated collection of animal longevity records. Moreover, AnAge has extensive life-history traits such as adult body weight, gestation or incubation time, age at sexual maturity and other reproductive data. Lastly, observations on physiological or pathological changes with age in animals are (where available) featured. AnAge focuses primarily on chordates. At the time of writing, AnAge features 4,122 entries, including 1,331 mammals, 1,098 birds, 539 reptiles, 169 amphibians, 962 fishes and 28 non-chordates. Our focus is on accuracy and quality, however, not quantity, and only species for which we have confidence in the data are featured. Numerous experts have contributed information to AnAge and helped us meet quality standards. Professor Steven Austad, a world-renowned expert in mammalian ageing at the Barshop Institute in San Antonio, is AnAge__s expert mammalogist and curator.<p></p>AnAge is a database of longevity and ageing in animals.

Barcode of Life Data Systems: BOLDS main resource (81) DwCA
<p>http://www.boldsystems.org/. The Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD), is a web platform that provides an integrated environment for the assembly and use of DNA barcode data. It delivers an online database for collection and management of specimen, distributional, and molecular data as well as analytical tools to support their validation. Over the past few years, BOLD has grown to become a powerful online workbench and the central informatics hub of the DNA barcoding community. BOLD is freely available to any researcher with interests in DNA Barcoding. By providing specialized services, it aids in the publication of records that meet the standards needed to gain BARCODE designation in the global sequence databases. Because of its web-based delivery and flexible data security model, it is also well positioned to support projects that involve broad research alliances.</p> <p> </p>
MAD Traits: NATDB DwCA
