Taxonomic literature database
Our taxonomic literature database (developed using ProCite©) is searchable as a PDF only at this time. Authors, titles, keywords, etc. can be searched as words using Acrobat Find (Ctrl+F) on the Acrobat toolbar. This list is updated frequebtly. We are planning to institute a searchable database form for more advanced search methods in the near future. Click here to view the SERTC taxonomic literature library (PDF).

Please contact Susan Thornton-DeVictor with questions or comments regarding the reference list. We welcome reprint contributions relevant to invertebrates in the South Atlantic Bight, as well as general keys to world taxa.

Specimen Databases

SERTC specimen database
We are working on providing the SERTC online searcheable database for our cataloged specimens. If you are looking for a particular species please contact David Knott or Rachael King for information.

Other helpful specimen databases for the South Atlantic Bight:

The National Benthic Inventory at NCCOS's Center for Coastal Environmental Health and Biomolecular Research (CCEHBR) in Charleston, SC, has established an online database of benthic species distributions with a corresponding voucher collection of specimens. The database holds species distributional information from the many surveys conducted by NOAA and partnering institutions around the United States. The specimen collection holds taxonomic vouchers from these surveys. Both the collection and distributional information databases are fully searchable on a variety of parameters (taxonomic, geographic, physical) at this website: http://nbi.noaa.gov
