Author Search
Queries must
take the format Linnaeus or Linnaeus C. Searches
for several authors are not possible (use
the Keyword Search instead).
This search field only accepts
the name of a single person and restricts the
search to the author field. The query name will be
used for a wildcard search, i.e. the query Smith will return works by Smith, but also e.g. by Smithson,
Blacksmith or Smithers etc.
You can make the results more
accurate by adding the initials of the author,
e.g. Smith JD.
Note: Special characters are not
included in the author field for script
compatibility reasons.
To search for author names that normally have a
special character just use the plain latin
letter. Examples:
Stål: search
for Stal
Fallén:
search for Fallen
Horváth: search for Horvath
However, German umlauts (ä, ö, ü)
are treated as ae, oe, and ue in the database.
In addition, the ligated double-s (ß) is
treated as ss. Examples:
Förster:
search for Foerster
Schäfer:
search for Schaefer
Seidenstücker:
search for Seidenstuecker
Rößler: search for Roessler

Keyword Search
A maximum of three query terms will be processed. The query terms are linked with AND.
This search field also performs
a wildcard search, but accepts up to three
separate query terms and searches all data
fields (including e.g. title of the work,
keywords). This search field is also recommended
for taxonomy searches: all database entries are
tagged with at least one high-ranking taxon
(e.g. a phylum or a class), but the search is
less accurate for lower rank taxa.

Periodicals Info
Type in up to three keywords from the title of the periodical.
This search field searches a
different database that contains publication
info and Web links of periodicals. This database
is under construction and still very incomplete. Thus this search facility is
currently not very accurate.
