AmphibiaChina: an online database of Chinese Amphibians
Che, Jiang & Wang, Kai
Abstract
AmphibiaChina, an open-access, web-based
database, is designed to provide comprehensive
and up-to-date information on Chinese
amphibians. It offers an integrated module with
six major sections. Compared to other known
databases including AmphibiaWeb and
Amphibian Species of the World, AmphibiaChina
has the following new functions: (1) online
species identification based on DNA barcode
sequences; (2) comparisons and discussions of different
major taxonomic systems; and (3) phylogenetic
progress on Chinese amphibians. This database
offers a window for the world to access available
information of Chinese amphibians. AmphibiaChina
with its Chinese version can be accessed at http: //
www.amphibiachina.org.
