| The Museum's mission is to maintain and develop its collections and use them to promote the discovery, understanding, responsible use and enjoyment of the natural world. Its collections of over 68,000,000 specimens, gathered from across the globe, represent more than 300 years of scientific collecting and study and are at the heart of the institution's scientific research, information services, education and exhibition activities. Online displays include Life Galleries, Earth Galleries, Wildlife Garden and VR trilobites. | |
| Searchable database wich contains photographs, information on bird specimen handling, bird dissection and a glossary of avian external anatomy. | ||
| Provides information services on conservation and sustainable use of the earth's living resources, and helps others to develop information systems of their own. Features a collection of conservation databases including species, protected areas, forest, marine and national biodiversity profiles. | ||

| Details of several projects and publications about Madagascar, including biodiversity of the coffee family (Rubiaceae), legumes, orchids, phylogeny, tree species, and palms. Madagascar is one of the ecologically richest countries in the world. Its flora is diverse, peculiar, and unique. Of the estimated 12,000 species, over 80% are only found in Madagascar. | ||
| Offers an insight to Canada's biodiversity by presenting information on issues such as the loss of species, evolutionary perspectives, general concepts like genetics and habitats, and the effects of forestry, agriculture, urbanisation, fishing, and environmental pollutants. Also publicises related events and provides a catalogued collection of resources. English/French language option given. | ||
| A distributed Internet project containing information about phylogeny and biodiversity. The project is designed to contain information about the phylogenetic relationships and characteristics of organisms, to illustrate the diversity and unity of living organisms, and to link biological information available on the Internet in the form of a phylogenetic navigator. The project aims to provide a map to biological information to be used by researchers, teachers and students. | ||
| Extensive information and discussion on the measurement of biodiversity value and the selection of priority areas for conservation. Topics covered include Measuring Rarity and Endimism, Assessing Conservation Priority and Gap Analysis, and Developments in Biogeography. | ||
| Collection of links devoted to information of interest to systematists and other biologists of the organismic kind. Headings include botany, herpetology, invertebrates, entomology, ichthyology, mammalogy, mycology and microbiology, ornithology and general biodiversity. | ||
