COL+ will develop a clearinghouse covering scientific names across all life, provide a single taxonomic view, and provide an avenue for feedback from content authorities. [2] The CoL is developing in conjunction with the Global Species List Working Group to avoid replication and work towards an authoritative global list of species.
Some species-focused databases attempt to compile comprehensive data about particular species , while others focus on particular species attributes, such as checklists of species in a given area (FEOW) or the conservation status of species (CITES or IUCN Red List). Nomenclators act as summaries of taxonomic revisions and set a key between ...
The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is an international organisation that focuses on making scientific data on biodiversity available via the Internet using web services. [1] The data are provided by many institutions from around the world; GBIF's information architecture makes these data accessible and searchable through a ...
Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described—of which around 1 million are insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million in total. Animals range in size from 8.5 millionths of a metre to 33.6 metres (110 ft) long and have complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs .
This is a list of the fungus species in the genus Alternaria. Many are plant pathogens . As of 5 August 2023 [update] , the GBIF lists up to 602 species, [ 1 ] while Species Fungorum lists about 636 species.
Taxonomic databases digitize scientific biodiversity data and provide access to taxonomic data for research. [1] Taxonomic databases vary in breadth of the groups of taxa and geographical space they seek to include, for example: beetles in a defined region, mammals globally, or all described taxa in the tree of life.

This is a list of the fungus species in the genus Asterina. Many are plant pathogens. As of 27 August 2023, the GBIF lists up to 740 species, [1] while Species Fungorum lists about 727 species (out of 931 records). [2] About 1,085 species were accepted by Wijayawardene et al. in 2020. [3]
If set to the genus name this only includes lines beginning with a listed species and ignores extra lines on distribution and synonyms in lists such as those generated by World Plants or World Ferns. The |option= customises for taxonomic sources where the records need special handling, e.g. to remove unwanted information.
