title: Global Species Database of Odonata in the Catalogue of Life

description: The Global Species Database of Odonata is a list of all names of extant species of dragonflies and damselflies of the world. The present list is based on a database built during a period of twenty years. The original information was derived from a published catalogue by Davies & Tobin (1984, 1985). However, original publications were consulted to check the spelling and original combination of (virtually) all names. The present taxonomic status of every name in this list is based on published authoritative sources. Addition of the names of fossil taxa, and setting up a management committee for this database, are to be expected in the near future. The original information of the GSD Odonata is managed using a FoxPro application.

title: FishBase in the Catalogue of Life

description: FishBase is a global information system with extensive information on all species and subspecies of fish. In addition to the data contributed to the Catalogue of Life, the original FishBase database also includes descriptive, biological, ecological, physiological and conservation data and more, and onward links to information in many other databases. Data entry and maintenance is done mainly at the FishBase Information and Research Group, Inc. (FIN) in the Philippines since the 1st January 2011 in collaboration with many colleagues and institutions around the world. The team was previously hosted in WorldFish since the start in 1990 (formerly ICLARM then called WorldFish Center between 2001-2013, and now WorldFish since 2013). FishBase is supported by a Consortium of nine institutions around the world that acts as the Scientific Committee for FIN. FishBase is funded mainly by the European Commission, and by several other donors. FishBase uses data and information from the Catalog of Fishes (CofF) developed by W.N. Eschmeyer at the California Academy of Science. In particular, FishBase uses CofF as the most complete and up-to-date fish nomenclator, and as a taxonomic authority list in a collaborative work of synchronization of the two databases.
