Description: Database of information on amphibian declines, natural history, conservation, and taxonomic information for every recognized species of amphibian in the world. Species accounts are being added regularly by specialists and volunteers and they contain species descriptions, life history information, conservation status, literature references, photos and range maps for many species. Some species have complete accounts; others as yet have only photographs or distributions. But all species can be queried for taxonomic, distributional and exact specimen data. AmphibiaWeb offers a powerful mapping tool by combining museum specimen data (via HerpNET) with expert opinion range maps (from Global Amphibian Assessment/IUCN) and overlaying these onto larger maps, allowing visualization in political, satellite, hybrid, or terrain map format. AmphibiaWeb currently (Aug 13, 2013) contains 7,160 species. They have 2,966 species accounts for 2,363 species, 6,517 literature references, 558 sound files, 109 video files, and 28,218 photos of 3,887 different amphibian species. These data come from numerous individuals--see acknowledgements. They have the ambitious goal of establishing a home page for every species of amphibian in the world. In order to accomplish this goal they encourage volunteers and specialists to help prepare species accounts. If you have special interest in a particular species, please contact them.
