[Taxacom] taxonomic names databases

[Paul Kirk]

Hi Rod,


Index Fungorum has been doing this for the best part of 15 years - 135,000 original descriptions (out of c. 500,000) names are just a click away for IF users :-) ... but then you probably know that already.

Subject: Re: [Taxacom] taxonomic names databases

Given that taxonomic databases have been a recent theme, readers might be interested in a feature I've added to BioNames http://bionames.org that displays the original description for a species (where possible). Details on http://iphylo.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/displaying-original-species.html

[http://media.eol.org/content/2011/08/11/16/63624_88_88.jpg]<http://bionames.org/>

BioNames<http://bionames.org/>
bionames.org
BioNames is a database of taxa, texts, and trees. It includes taxonomic names for animals (and other organisms covered by the ICZN), full text literature from BioStor ...




Some examples:
