- Animal Diversity Web
Education
The Animal Diversity Web (ADW) is an online, searchable database and encyclopedia focused on the natural history, classification, characteristics, conservation, and distribution of animal species. Myers, who earned his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, launched the ADW as a pioneering educational tool on the early World Wide Web. Hosted by the University of Michigan, ADW operates as a non-profit educational resource. Its content is primarily contributed by undergraduate students from over 30 collaborating colleges and universities across the United States, who create species accounts as part of their coursework. These accounts are researched using peer-reviewed scientific journals and are edited by professors and ADW staff before publication. The platform's business model is not based on revenue generation but on educational collaboration and grants. Investors and supporters include the University of Michigan, its College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, Innovation Partnerships, the U.S. National Science Foundation, and the Wethersfield Foundation. The platform serves a global audience, from K-12 students and teachers to the general public, providing detailed, consistently structured information that facilitates inquiry-driven learning and comparisons between species. Each species account covers topics such as geographic range, habitat, physical description, reproduction, behavior, and conservation status. In addition to text, the database includes thousands of photographs, sound clips, and a virtual museum featuring a collection of skulls. As of June 2022, the site contained approximately 2,150 species accounts and 350 higher taxonomic group accounts.
