SIDbase Database system developed by Maurice Leponce (with a Ms-Access database core) to manage biodiversity survey data and especially adapted to ecological inventories of social insects. Its main features are: (i) management of sample and specimen data through barcode printed labels (alcohol proof, to speed up data entry and facilitate loan management); (ii) quick storage and retrieval of numeric pictures on habitats and taxa; (iii) tools for specimen identification (computer keys linked with an image bank) and data entry (world checklist of ant genera and South American habitats); (iv) data analysis friendly (filters for sorting data with respect to taxon, site and sampling method; abundance matrices automatically exported to EstimateS format); (v) simultaneous data-entry by several users.
