Literature and Taxonomic Keys
Taxonomic literature and keys are invaluable to the benthic biologist faced with identifying fauna collected from the seabed. A guide to the published, and unpublished, taxonomic literature for North East Atlantic seas is available via the NMBAQC Bibliography of Taxonomic Literature which is updated on a regular basis. All relevant papers and keys should be listed therein. However, if you are aware of important keys that have been overlooked then please let us know. For copyright reasons we cannot make published keys available here. Many are available via open access on the internet. The NMBAQC Bibliographies are available below in (in section 1) below.
The NMBAQC scheme has itself produced or commissioned numerous taxonomic keys as outputs of its various taxonomic workshops led by recognised experts in particular taxonomic groups. Some of these have since been published as formal papers but many remain as unpublished working keys designed for everyday use in the marine laboratory. In addition, a number of unpublished in-house keys produced by the scheme contractor, or offered for use by participants of the scheme are also available. All of these current keys and guides are available (in section 2) below.
An archive of older unpublished keys has also been collated (in section 3) below. These include older NMBAQC keys, some keys by NMBAQC scheme participants, and historical keys produced at taxonomic workshops organised by the Estuarine and Coastal Sciences Association (ECSA), which was formerly known as the Estuarine and Brackish-Water Sciences Association (EBWSA). These keys go back as far as the early 1980’s and, while most have now been superceded, many are still useful. These old versions often include various hand-written annotations which have been added then or since. A browse through these keys certainly shows how the taxonomy of benthic fauna has changed over the decades, and why comparing older taxonomic records with new is potentially problematical.
