New dataset integrates 410k tropical species with Chinese names

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a comprehensive dataset of over 410,000 tropical species, integrating taxonomic identifiers from multiple biodiversity databases. This dataset includes novel layers for trade and husbandry contexts, a Chinese vernacular name layer with provenance tracking, and links to CITES entries. The goal is to provide a structured resource for understanding and regulating tropical species across various domains, with a high percentage of species now having associated Chinese names. AI
