Data sources and credits

The active service contains 1000 species: 150 curated records with localised common names and 850 supplemental records displayed under their scientific name. GBIF supports the scientific name and species rank only.

Record-level provenance

Each active entry stores its GBIF identifier and URL, the CC BY 4.0 licence, retrieval date and the exact covered fields: scientificName and rank.

The GBIF link is the record-level reference for those taxonomic fields. It does not source translated labels, habitat details, images, facts or conservation status.

Editorial fields and review

The first 150 records have common names in all nine languages. The other 850 deliberately keep their scientific name rather than inventing translations, and do not display a per-species habitat label.

A correction should identify the displayed name or public record identifier, the disputed field and a reliable source. Until a monitored contact address exists, this contact route honestly records the gap but cannot receive a report.

Abstract visual system

The interface contains no animal photographs, illustrations, silhouettes, anatomy or creature assets. Its 300 scenes are authored combinations of CSS-rendered colour fields, environmental marks, textures and registration accents.

The 300 figure comes from 30 environments multiplied by ten art-directed layouts. These are internal presentation variants, not additional species records, observations or independently licensed images.

Licence boundary

GBIF attribution and CC BY 4.0 apply to the sourced taxonomic fields recorded here. They do not grant rights over unrelated third-party content or turn the service’s editorial labels into GBIF data.

The abstract interface artwork is product presentation, not evidence. No animal media licence or attribution is implied because no animal media asset is used.

Taxonomic source register

This register lists the 150 curated records with localised common names. The 850 supplemental records keep their scientific name and expose their GBIF link directly in each result.
