A Global Species Database (GSD) is a digital catalog of organisms often defined around a conservation purpose for the organisms of interest. GSDs attempt to be globally inclusive of species within their inclusion parameters versus local species databases. GSDs have a defined purpose, SPECIESDAB is a GSD for economically valuable fish species,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fao.org/knowledge/documents-detail/en/?dyna_fef%5Buid%5D=115950&type=list )〕 while FishBase focuses on fin fish regardless of their human potential for exploitation. Attempts have been made to create GSDs for extinct species such as trilobites. A GSD can be broad in taxonomic scope, such as AlgaeBase comprehensively including algae and seagrasses from the entire planet, or narrow such as International Legume Database & Information Service, a GSD for members of a single plant family, the Fabaceae. A database restricted by geography such as Calflora focusing on California Floristic Province flowering plants and ferns is not a GSD. The Catalogue of Life links together a number of GSDs of animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms, such as FishBase and AlgaeBase, and integrates these at a high level through a single node facilitating ease of access to global species data. ==See also== * Global 200, a global list of ecoregions that are conservation priorities * Global biodiversity, includes species diversity, as well as genetic and ecosystem diversity 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Global Species Database」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
