Biological
Disciplines
The Web includes an
enormous wealth of data, references, and research on a wide variety of
biological disciplines. The NBII serves as a gateway to these
resources, selecting, annotating, and organizing them according to topic
and discipline for ease of discovery and access by NBII users.
- Botany: Botany encompasses a wide range of
databases, indexes, directories, species profiles, dictionaries, taxonomic information, collections, and
organizations devoted to the study, cultivation, and enjoyment of plants,
bryophytes, and fungi.
- Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Node: Provides an extensive
array of data on managed fish strains, populations and broodstocks located throughout the United States,
as well as watershed-based data, and extensive state-by-state fishing resources.
- Systematics: Systematics is the science of describing,
naming, and classifying organisms. This index includes comprehensive links to databases of scientific and
common names for species within the five Kingdoms.
- Reptiles and Amphibians: Comprehensive species
information, including identification, habitats, and life histories, is available through this resource.
