Edaphobase includes data from literature, collection as well as observational (raw data) sources on currently seven taxonomic major groups.
Which specific data the database contains for which animal group can be found in the Edaphobase Query Portal by clicking the button “show statistics of data selection” next to the “show data table” button.
On overview of the data coverage for the major taxonomic groups and their data sources is given in the following. (Totals may not correspond to sums of the source listing due to multiple “sources” of specific data records.) “Data sources” of collection data relates to number of collection objects.
