United Kingdom Species Inventory (UKSI)

checklist
The UK Species Inventory is the most comprehensive curated database of UK wildlife taxonomy and nomenclature. Originally developed for the JNCC's "Recorder" biological recording package, the database has since 2000 been maintained by the Natural History Museum, London. Data has been sourced from published checklists and from a network of dedicated amateur and professional taxonomists. It forms the foundation for the largest biological recording and reporting systems in the UK, including all of the partners in the National Biodiversity Network. This extract from the UKSI has been created by the data management team at the NBN Atlas as as simplified derivative checklist.
