Information About

Animal Diversity Web




The ADW acts as an online Encyclopedia , with each individual species account displaying basic information specific to that species. Each species account includes Geographic Range , Habitat , physical description, Reproduction , Lifespan , Communication and Perception , Behavior , Food habits, Predation , and Conservation Status .

The ADW was created by the Staff at the Museum Of Zoology at the University Of Michigan . Each account is written by both Student s and Teachers at 30 Colleges and Universities across the United States . Species accounts are often assigned to college students as class projects. Each account is thoroughly researched using Peer Reviewed Scientific Journals and Research papers and is edited by both the Professors and staff at the ADW.

Along with species accounts, the ADW has over 350 accounts of higher Taxonomic groups, as well as classification lists of hundreds of thousands of species that do not yet have accounts.
