There is also a concerted effort here in the US to compile summary faunal
data (as opposed to raw data tables) into a web-searchable database:
Neotomadb.org
The database allows you to plot where and when a particular taxon has been
recorded. It's the latest permutation of the old FaunMap files, and
includes other paleoecological datasets such as pollen, beetles, diatoms,
etc. Russ Graham and Eric Grimm are in the process of updating the
vertebrate data for the contiguous United States. And I am compiling data
for SW Alaska, as well as the results from our work in the Kuril Islands
(Russia).
If any of you are interested in providing data for this database, contact
me or Graham/Grimm. If we can get to the point where the data are
comprehensive, or nearly so, then it will be a really powerful
database.....
