Evolution and Biodiversity in the Antarctic (EBA)
|
The biodiversity database holds Antarctic and subantarctic flora and fauna in support of the SCAR Life Sciences programme
Evolution and Biodiversity in the Antarctic (EBA)
for 2006-2013.

EBA is the follow on project from the now finished Regional Sensitivity to Climate Change in Antarctic terrestrial and limnetic ecosystems (RiSCC) project. This database will focus on the Terrestrial and Limnetic domains.
If there is any data (checklists, observations for new or existing collections) that should be present in this database, or corrections to existing taxa or observations,
- For data submissions, please use our Electronic Data Submission form
- For corrections and/or comments, please contact the Data Centre via the feedback form.
Search for species, common names, taxonomic authorities.

Advanced Search of Taxonomy -
with options by scientific name, common name, endemic species.
Taxonomic Drilldown - navigate to taxa from Kingdom down to Genus
Search for higher level names from Kingdom to Family
List of species checklists - Antarctic-wide and protection measures
Search for species within Protection Measures - by scientific name, common name, protection status and list name
Search for common species - belonging to 2 or more checklists

Observations
Search for data - by position, measurement type
Given two or more species or families - return the places where they are commonly occur
Given two or more places - return species that are common to those places
Custodian access: Observer login for
observations and related data.
Bioregions
The terrestrial areas of the Antarctic and Subantarctic are being classified into regions for comparing biodiversity and patterns of distribution.

Publishing observations to external organisations
The Data Centre has been sending biological distribution data via the Darwin Core schema using Distributed Genric Information Retrieval (DiGIR) query protocol to GBIF and OBIS since December 2003. The data is now also being aggregated at SCAR-MarBIN, which as of May 2006, has being recognised as the Antarctic regional node of OBIS. As at June 2008, the Data Centre contribution is over 750,000 records.
See the list of published data collections with observation counts.
 SCAR - Scientific Commitee on Antarctic Research |
 SCAR-MarBIN - SCAR Marine Biodiversity Information Network |
 CAML - Census of Antarctic Marine Life |
 OBIS - Ocean Biogeographic Information System |
 GBIF - Global Biodiversity Information Facility |
Science Bibliographies - there are several sets that cover Antarctic biology.
