A new database, AIIC, the Asian Insect Information Center database, was constructed and is available to the public via the Internet. The aim of this database is the accumulation of insect data involving types and normal specimens deposited in universities, institutions and museums in Japan. Each record consists of scientific names (family, genus and species), locality, collecting date, collector, etc, according to a format of the Darwin Core of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). In this paper, we present each home page of six files currently constructed, ELKUType, BeeELKU, BeeFukuda, BeeCAsia, BeeFTadauchi and COLSasaji, as well as the top page of AIIC. The database is administered by a SIGMA management system and can be accessed by visiting the following URL:
A new specimen database of KONCHU, BeeAXylo based on Asian carpenter bees was constructed. Each record consists of scientific names (family, genus and species), locality, collection date, collector, etc., according to the format of the Darwin Core of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). At this time the collection of Asian Xylocopa specimens preserved in Naturalis (The National Museum of Natural History in Leiden, the Netherlands) is available to the public via the Internet. We will continue to accumulate Asian Xylocopa data. In this paper, we present the home page of the file BeeAXylo. The database is administered by a SIGMA management system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
