Peter Domanski

Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, Wormley, Godalming Surrey GU8 5UB, UK

Received on May 1, 1980; accepted on March 1, 1981 BIOS is a computerised database system for holding species distribution data. Emphasis has been placed on the flexibility in which stored information can be accessed. Multiple retrieval pathways permit simple enquiries to be answered or complicated interrogation sequences for statistical treatment of data. The structural organisation of the database is explained and details of its contents are listed. Examples of applications in the fields of zoogeography and ecology are given together with illustrations.
