Taxonomic coverage

Abstract

This is a taxonomic checklist derived from the Rotifer World Catalogue (RWC). The checklist includes information about nomenclature, taxonomy and classification for all currently accepted species, genus, and family-group names in Phylum Rotifera. It serves as an authoritative source for all nominal taxa of genus rank and below, that were named since the start of zoological nomenclature in 1758. It also provides a consistent framework for taxonomic data management; allowing collecting, integrating and arranging of complex future data and knowledge about the group.
