Australia's Fauna is an online distributed network of databases that contain information about the faunal (animal) collections held in Australian museums and other institutions, such as CSIRO.
Museums hold vast collections of specimens from the natural world and wish to provide access to these specimens and their associated data. This website provides a way to discover more about Australia's diverse fauna by allowing virtual access to the combined collections of many of Australia's museums. In this website you can:
- Query on the scientific names of up to five species
- Query on the common names of mammals
- Refine your query by asking questions about geographical distribution
- View a map that plots data from individual specimens to show the distribution of a species
Data returned from sites around Australia can be displayed either as dots on a map or as a list of specimens. Detailed datasets are available from either of these views.
OZCAM provides a number of different mechanisms for accessing the OZCAM databases:-
KE Software Portal - search collection databases, map collection locations, view type specimen images
BioMaps Portal - search collection database, map collection locations and model species distributions
