General Biology
- BIOSIS PreviewsComprehensive coverage of nearly 5,500 life science journals and 1,500 items from international meetings, review articles, books, and unique additional references from Biological Abstracts and Biological Abstracts/RRM. BIOSIS Previews covers the life sciences, from agriculture to biomedical sciences and from molecular genetics to zoology.
- bioRxivPreprints from biology. Preprints are not yet peer-reviewed.
Animals
- Zoological RecordZoological record covers the world's zoological and animal scientific literature. It is the unofficial register for taxonomy and systematics.
- Biological Science DatabaseIndexes papers in animal behavior from neurophysiology to behavioral ecology and applied ethology.
- AnimalBaseDatabase with searching capabilities of animal taxonomic names with access to old zoological literature including all zoological taxa described between 1757 and 1764. Links to the digital editions of taxonomic literature including various editions of Linnæus. The project has various collaborators that may add information to the database.
