ETI Bioinformatics has created The World Biodiversity Database, the first data collection effort of its kind with the goal of creating, maintaining and growing a detailed taxonomic database of the world’s species and organisms. The 21 species banks are accessible through the WBD and offer taxonomic information, species names, synonyms, descriptions, illustrations and literature references, as well as online identification keys and interactive geographical information systems. The WBD currently includes 25493 unique taxa, plus 4149 synonyms.
