Database of European land and fresh-water animals From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fauna Europaea is a database of the scientific names and distribution of all living multicellular European land and fresh-water animals. It serves as a standard taxonomic source for animal taxonomy within the Pan-European Species directories Infrastructure (PESI).[1] As of June 2020[update], Fauna Europaea reported that their database contained 235,708 taxon names and 173,654 species names.[2]
Its construction was initially funded by the European Commission (2000–2004). The project was co-ordinated by the University of Amsterdam which launched the first version in 2004. The Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin took over the hosting of the web portal in 2013,[1] and a new web portal was launched in 2015.[3]
