Checklist Dutch Species Register - Nederlands Soortenregister

Checklist Dutch Species Register - Nederlands Soortenregister

checklist

The Dutch Species Register provides a current and comprehensive overview of Dutch biodiversity. It is based on numerous published papers, reports, books and checklists provided by experts, covering all aspects of the Dutch flora and fauna. The Dutch Species Register combines this information into an authoritative and frequently updated national checklist.

All multicellular animals, plants and fungi are included in the checklist, with the exception of species under direct supervision of humans (e.g. pets) and species not recorded since 1758 (i.e. subfossil and fossil species).

The checklist includes available synonyms and preferred Dutch name and higher classification, including associated source and expert. Furthermore, all species and lower taxa are assigned a standardized code for their occurrence status within the Netherlands.

The Dutch Species Register is coordinated and hosted by Naturalis Biodiversity Center in close collaboration with European Invertebrate Survey (EIS) - the Netherlands. A large number of scientific institutions, individual experts and organizations of volunteer recorders contribute to the Dutch Species Register. The project is supported by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and NLBIF.
