The data in the 2010 Annual Checklist have
been provided by 77 databases. Of these,
10 are new to the
2010 edition and 12 have been
updated over the past year. Most datasets include one or more global
species database sectors (GSDs), i.e. datasets being developed to cover
all of the world's species in a particular group of organisms. A few
datasets provide regional information for groups not yet covered
globally. The datasets result from collaboration and editing by many
expert taxonomists, whose names are found in the datasets themselves. A
brief summary is listed below giving: database short and full names;
home page on the web; the author(s) or editor(s); organisation; the
group for which data are provided, preceded by its higher
classification; and the number of species and infraspecific taxa
included in this Annual Checklist.
