Multi-access Identification Keys
(Identikit & Lucid)
A collection of interactive identification resources designed for use in the field, classroom and self-directed study. These digital keys allow users to identify species through a flexible selection of characteristics, making them particularly useful for challenging taxonomic groups where traditional pathway keys may be inefficient.
Waders
Beetle Families
Covers the identification of wader species known to occur in Britain and Ireland.
Covers the identification of adult beetles to family and sub-family level. It includes all 102 beetle families known to occur in Britain and Ireland.
Gilled Fungi Genera
Prototype key covering the identification of mature fungal fruit bodies (sporophores) to genus level. It includes over 200 genera known to occur in Britain and Ireland. All have spore producing surfaces in the form of radiating gill-like structures (lamellae) on the lower surface of a protective cap (pileus).
Plant Families
Prototype key covering the identification of flowering plants (angiosperms) to family level. It includes a total of 14 plant families which, between them, contain approximately 67% of the wild British flora.
