Lumbricus – database on earthworms ranges
2012
Shashkov, Maxim P.
The great volume of information on earthworms’ fauna and population has been accumulated in literature by now. It is necessary to organize these data into an information system for faunistic, ecological, taxonomical and other investigation. The subject of the paper is to develop versatile system for storing, systematization and processing of data on earthworms’ geographical distribution and ecological ranges. Open source database and GIS solutions were used to develop the system further referred to as Lumbricus database. The goal of this implementation is to cover blank spaces on Russian territory observed in data on earthworm’s biodiversity available in World Wide Web. Lumbricus database provides some information on geographical distribution and ecological characteristics of lumbricid species of Russia both in English and Russian. It is not a comprehensive literature data collection, but just a prototype for further developing into worldwide accessible system of full value. There are more than 700 records in the database now, but it is widening permanently. The Lumbricus database is available online since December, 2011 on www.biocenos.org website.
