Abstract:

AmphibiaWeb is an online system enabling anyone with a Web browser to search and retrieve information relating to amphibian biology and conservation. This site was inspired by the global declines of amphibians, the study of which has been hindered by the lack of multidisplinary studies and a lack of coordination in monitoring, in field studies, and in lab studies. We hope AmphibiaWeb will encourage a shared vision for the study of global amphibian declines and the conservation of remaining amphibians. AmphibiaWeb currently (Feb 24, 2009) contains 6,470 species. We have 2,520 species accounts for 1,968 species, 1,170 distribution maps, 4,554 literature references, 380 sound files, and 14,116 photos of 2,580 different amphibian species. These data come from numerous individuals.
