Biota

These are the major groups with iden­ti­fied species and with many macro­scop­ic mem­bers. There is at least one slime mold (Amoe­bo­zoa) await­ing iden­ti­fi­ca­tion. Links are also in the main menu.

Most of the list­ed species have been sub­mit­ted to iNat­u­ral­ist.

Sci­en­tif­ic names include the author cita­tion, which gives a stan­dard­ized form of the name of the per­son to first pub­lish the name, and in the case of botan­i­cal names, the per­son respon­si­ble for its cur­rent form (for exam­ple, if it was moved to a new genus). The for­mat for author cita­tions is dif­fer­ent for species gov­erned by the Inter­na­tion­al Code of Zoo­log­i­cal Nomen­cla­ture (ICZN) and the Inter­na­tion­al Code of Nomen­cla­ture for algae, fun­gi, and plants (ICNafp).
