1. Belgian Marine Mammals database
   <p>This database contains all the Belgian observations and strandings contained in the Belgian Marine Mammals database, which can be accessed on www.marinemammals.be.</p>
2. MODIRISK:Monitoring of Mosquito Vectors, Longitudinal study
   <p>Knowledge of the taxonomic and functional biodiversity of both endemic and invading vector mosquito species as well as the factors driving change, is missing in Belgium. Acquiring this knowledge is an essential step towards understanding current risk and preparing for future treads...
3. MODIRISK:RBINS Diptera: Culicidae Collection
   <p>MODIRISK aimed at studying biodiversity of mosquitoes and monitoring/predicting its changes, and hence actively prepares to address issues on the impact of biodiversity change with particular reference to invasive species and the risk to introduce new pathogens...
4. Monitoring of the effects of Belgian wind mill parks on benthic macro-invertebrates and the fish fauna of soft substrates - reference situation. (WINMON)
   This dataset has been created to establish the reference situation of benthic macro-invertebrates (macro-, endobenthos en macro-epibenthos) and demersal fish in the Belgian windfarm area.
5. Moths observed during the "Objective 1000" inventory project at the Botanical Garden Jean Massart (Auderghem, Brussels Capital Region)
   <p>This dataset comes from the &#39;objective 1000&#39; project, in which the entomofauna of the Jean Massart Botanical Garden was studied during the period 2015-2021. The aim of this project was to inventory 1000 species of insects and spiders on the site...
6. RBINS Amphibian collection
   <p>The RBINS amphibian collection contains more than 135,000 specimens. We have type material for 109 species. The majority of the specimens were collected by herpetologist Gaston François de Witte on his missions to the national parks in Congo (between 1933 and 1958)...
7. RBINS Bird collection
   <p>The RBINS bird collection is made up of around 132,000 specimens. It includes a significant collection of skeletons and eggs as well as type material for 123 species...
8. RBINS Brachiopoda collection
   <p>The RBINS does not have many extant brachiopods, although the collection continues to grow through focused purchases and recent donations.</p>
9. RBINS Bryozoa collection
   <p>The RBINS has important material from the North Sea, including historical collections and recent material, as well as material from freshwater habitats. A lot of material was collected during the different expeditions that the RBINS has been involved in. The Antarctic collections, in particular, are rich in type specimens.</p>
10. RBINS Cnidaria collection
    <p>The RBINS holds a very important collection of Cnidaria. Dr. E. Leloup from the RBINS and Prof. Dr. Bouillon from the Université Libre de Bruxelles collected non-Siphonophoran Hydrozoa (hydroid polyps) – approximately 800 species in total, 65 of which are nominal species and varieties. The collection contains specimens in alcohol as well as microscope slides...
11. RBINS Crustacea collection
    <p>The RBINS has a rich collection of crustaceans. Within the class Malacostraca, we have large collections of decapods (crabs, shrimps, etc.), Euphausiacea (krill), Amphipoda (including eye-catching material from Antarctica), Cumacea (hooded shrimps), Isopoda, Mysida (opossum shrimps), and Tanaidae...
12. RBINS Echinodermata collection
    <p>The RBINS is known for its rich echinoderm collections. The Institute has a particularly rich collection of sea cucumbers, with material from all over the world and many type specimens. Of particular interest to the taxonomic community are the several thousands of microscope slides of ossicles from thousands of specimens, including hundreds of type specimens.</p>
13. RBINS Fish collection
    <p>The RBINS fish collection consists of more than 265,000 specimens. Oceanographer Gustave Gilson (director of the RBINS in 1909) started the collection during his study of the North Sea. It was the very first study of marine fauna in Belgium. The Institute has type material for 325 species. Central African fish species are well represented thanks to expeditions to the national parks in...
14. RBINS Lepidoptera collection
    <p>The butterflies and moths subcollections constitute a grand part of the institute&#39;s entomology collection. They were initially classified in the suborders as Rhopalocera and Heterocera, respectively...
15. RBINS Mammal collection
    <p>The RBINS mammal collection contains 63,000 specimens and includes significant osteological material (bones and skeletons). The best represented groups are bats, rodents, carnivores and primates. The Institute has type material for 27 species. The rodent collection was extended by RBINS biologist Xavier Misonne...
16. RBINS Mollusc collection
    <p>Within the RBINS collection of Belgian Recent Invertebrates, most of the approximately 1 million specimens are molluscs. A large proportion of this material comes from former RBINS director Gustave Gilson, who was one of the first Belgian oceanographers. He systematically sampled the North Sea between 1898 and 1939...
17. RBINS Reptile collection
    <p>The RBINS holds more 45,000 reptilian specimens, and type material for 183 species. The majority of the specimens were collected by Gaston-François de Witte during his missions to the national parks in Congo. Philippe Kok has also put together a fine collection of reptiles from Guyana...
18. RBINS Rotifera collection
    <p>The RBINS has an important, world-renowned collection, containing Belgian species as well as species from more exotic locations, such as Southeast Asia.</p>
19. RBINS marine Chelicerata collection
    <p>The RBINS has specimens of three species of horseshoe crab. The sea spiders in our collection come mainly from Antarctica.</p>
20. Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences Belgian Marine Invertebrates collection
    The Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences Belgian Marine Invertebrates collection contains 130 digitised specimens of 21 taxa. The following classes are included: Bivalvia Linnaeus, 1758, Cephalopoda Cuvier, 1797, Gastropoda Cuvier, 1797, Polyplacophora Gray, 1821
