Other Useful Databases
EPA's ECOTOX database provides single chemical toxicity information for aquatic and terrestrial life exposed in the lab or under controlled field conditions.
The Environmental Residue-Effects Database provides data and plots associating body residues of single chemicals with responses of aquatic and terrestrial life exposed in the lab or under controlled field conditions.
The Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) is a source for authoritative taxonomic information on plants, animals, fungi, and microbes of North America and the world.
FishBase
is a global information system which provides taxonomic, life history, ecological and economic information for freshwater and marine fish. It was developed at the WorldFish Center in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and many other partners. Development was supported by the European Commission.
Our goal is to add databases in the future covering additional methods and stressors. We are interested in your feedback! Please contact us and let us know what information would be most useful for your causal analyses.
