Abstract: AnimalBase was established to link the early literature with the names of the animals described therein. The names of generic and specific taxa have all been entered manually into the database, including original and corrected spellings of names, type localities and page numbers where these names were originally established in the publications. Doing this we followed a standard established by our working group.
Today the database should include all zoological taxa described from 1757 until 1770. The names are entered into the database along the original literature and largely independently from other databases and secondary literature sources, so that errors will not be duplicated.
