European Network on Invasive Alien Species (NOBANIS) - Factsheets
NOBANIS provides fact sheets on some of the invasive alien species of the northern European region, covering both animals and plant as well as microorganisms.

EoL contains pages on a very large number of species (similar to the Catalogue of Life content, on which it draws). These pages may have images, descriptions and links to other resources.
The DAISIE database covers all taxa of marine, freshwater and terrestrial invasives in Europe.
An on-line Lucid Key and Fact Sheets to 100 of the most important invasive plants in East Africa.
he Brazilian database on invasive alien species developed by the Universidad Nacional del Sur, in Argentina, and by the Horus Institute and The Nature Conservancy in Brazil, has been offered as a free product for other countries in the process of compiling data on biological invasions. The page is available in English or Portuguese.
The GISD focuses on invasive alien species that threaten native biodiversity and covers all taxonomic groups from micro-organisms to animals and plants in all ecosystems. Species information is either supplied by or reviewed by expert contributors from around the world. It is managed by the Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG) of the Species Survival Commission of the IUCN-World Conservation Union.
The CIESM Atlas of Exotic Species is the first attempt to provide a comprehensive, group by group, survey of recent marine "immigrants" in the Mediterranean, which is undergoing drastic and rapid changes to its biota. Many of these new species are of Indo-Pacific origin having reached the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal: these so called "Lessepsian" migrants now contribute significantly to the biodiversity of the Eastern basin.
References can be located using the search tool at the bottom of the web page. Includes species that are not Invasive Species.
Search can be made by common name or scientific name, as well as information arranged by habitat, distribution etc. Coverage is global and across many marine taxa. Many of the pages reached include photographs and descriptions.
Use the search form on the page linked to. Fish, freshwater and marine, global. Use search system for scientific or common names.
To identify species either enter the Family name of the fish and use the ‘Identification by pictures’, ‘list of pictures’ or ‘Identification keys’ buttons, or, at the bottom of the page there is a set of tools, including Quick Identification, Identification Keys, Identification by Morphometrics, Species by Ecosystem.
EASIN has a set of links to online resources including databases, publications and checklists of species. It also serves a Catalogue of alien species in Europe.
