NOTE: Due to security issues, the ARSEF database search function is not currently available and we are transitioning to a site on the ARS-AZURE cloud. Please contact the curator (Kathryn.Bushley@usda.gov) if you need information about specific groups or a custom search of the database that can be sent via e-mail. Printed PDF catalogues of all isolates and other information about the collection are available on the ARSEF website at https://www.ars.usda.gov/northeast-area/ithaca-ny/robert-w-holley-center... The Agricultural Research Service Collection of Entomopathogenic Fungal Cultures is the world's largest, most kaleidoscopic, and most comprehensive collection of living cultures of fungi that are pathogenic to or associated with insects, spiders, mites, ticks, and other invertebrates. Some isolates in the collection are not themselves invertebrate pathogens but are critically important for the improvements of taxonomies and systematics for the many diverse groups of fungi represented here. As of July 2016, ARSEF maintains more than 13000 isolates of more than 700 taxa of fungi isolated from 1300 hosts collected at more than 2400 locations on every continent. The database is searchable by Fungi, Hosts, Locations, Provenance, or Accessions. Results are provided in PDF format. Catalog files are in the Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format and are readable with the Adobe Acrobat Reader. All catalogs and live searches of isolate data incorporate the most current supportable taxonomies for ARSEF fungi. Significant changes in the nomenclatural rules for many fungi have a large and ongoing impact on the entomopathogens in the order Hypocreales. These changes are discussed the introductory material in the catalogs. If you are unsure about the most current identifications for isolates, online searches of ARSEF accessions return taxonomic information in the collection database at the moment of the search.

The Cryptocephalinae of the World (http://camptosomata.myspecies.info/) serves to maintain images, updated classification, and bibliography of cryptocephaline leaf beetles. Currently, focus is largely on Stegnocephala, New World Cryptocephalus, and Fulcidacini; however, with time and continued collaboration we hope to build upon this work. Images are based almost exclusively on type specimens, but authoritatively identified material is also included. The identity of most species herein is finally confirmed after almost 150 years since their original description. This dataset was funded by an Encyclopedia of Life Postdoctoral Fellowship awarded to the author.
An abundance matrix (BM_taxonomic_lineage.xlsx) contains rows as taxonomic lineage, columns as samples, and entries representing the abundance of each lineage as a ratio of all sequences obtained for each individual sample. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Gomez-Alvarez, V., and R. Revetta. Monitoring of Nitrification in Chloraminated Drinking Water Distribution Systems With Microbiome Bioindicators Using Supervised Machine Learning. Frontiers in Microbiology. Frontiers, Lausanne, SWITZERLAND, 11: 2254-2267, (2020).
This API returns datasets for Revenue, Capital Expenditures and Operating Expenses and their breakdowns into aligned and eligible activities according to the EU taxonomy disclosure for the company specified. Historical data starts with 2021 when European companies started to make such disclosures. The API requires free registration and optional usage declaration to receive an API key
This API returns datasets covering Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions for a requested company. All the data is sourced from company publications and cdp.net. Historical data spans up to 10 years (which varies with company) The API requires free registration and optional usage declaration to receive an API key.
This interactive tool aims to help users in their implementation of the reporting requirements laid down in the Disclosures Delegated Act (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178) under Article 8 of the EU Taxonomy Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2020/852). It was prepared by DG FISMA and does not commit the European Commission. In any case, only the Court of Justice of the European Union is competent to authoritatively interpret Union law. The tool provides an example of the different steps that undertakings would need to go through to fill out the templates provided in the Disclosures Delegated Act, identify their Taxonomy-eligibility and Taxonomy-alignment and calculate their Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). As the tool is intended for instructive purposes only, it shows the steps necessary only for non-financial undertakings. Furthermore, it depicts only the technical screening criteria of the Climate Delegated Act (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139) and Complementary Delegated Act (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1214) related to the first environmental objective laid down in Article 9 of the Taxonomy Regulation, i.e. “climate change mitigation”.
The EU Taxonomy Compass provides a visual representation of the contents of the EU Taxonomy. It aims to make the contents of the EU Taxonomy easier to access for a variety of users. It enables users to check which activities are included in the EU Taxonomy (Taxonomy-eligible activities), to which objectives they substantially contribute, and what criteria have to be met for actions to be considered Taxonomy-aligned. It is important to note that minimum safeguards (social standards) have to be met as well for an economic activity to be considered Taxonomy-aligned.
The FAQs repository aims to help users find answers to questions on the EU Taxonomy in general, its reporting obligations, and the technical screening criteria defined in the Taxonomy delegated acts. Therefore, it gathers all Frequently Asked Questions documents that the European Commission has published on the EU Taxonomy so far in one place
The EU Taxonomy User Guide is a guidance document for non-experts. It explains what the EU Taxonomy is and how it fits within the wider sustainable finance regulatory framework. It also provides a step-by-step guide to assess taxonomy alignment, which is exemplified through 12 use cases that show users how to deal with the main implementation challenges they may face.
Diatom database available at: http://web-apps.awi.de/Hustedt-Diatoms/Curator/ (an older interface is still online under http://diatomwebserver.awi.de/fmi/iwp/cgi?-db=WebStart&-loadframes, but only for limited time) Further information available under http://www.awi.de/en/go/hustedt. The database has been developed around the collection of Friedrich Hustedt, and focuses on the three elements: material, specimens and publications. All specimen information for the collection is complete but some data concerning other material/slides from Europe has not yet been entered. Data is also complete concerning type specimens deposited by other authors since the establishment of the collection. Specimens are entered as those appearing on the slides although in some cases, subsequent names are given under �comments�. The database also has a complete entry of all of the publications held at the centre (now more than 6,500). The database is designed to be versatile and workers are encouraged to explore the possibilities for searching via alternative pathways when familiar with the basic principles outlined on the help page. More information on this dataset can be found in the Freshwater Metadatabase - BFE_16 (http://www.freshwatermetadata.eu/metadb/bf_mdb_view.php?entryID=BFE_16).
NatureServe Explorer is an authoritative source for information on more than 70,000 plants, animals, and ecosystems of the United States and Canada.
