Checklist Dutch Caribbean Species Register

Checklist Dutch Caribbean Species Register

checklist

The Dutch Caribbean 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 flora and fauna of the Dutch Caribbean (the islands of Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, Sint Eustatius and Sint Maarten). The Dutch Caribbean 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 Dutch, English and Papiamento names and higher classification, including associated source and expert.

The Dutch Caribbean Species Register is coordinated and hosted by Naturalis Biodiversity Center. A number of scientific institutions, individual experts and organizations of volunteer recorders have contributed to the Dutch Caribbean Species Register.
