| The data in the 2008 Annual Checklist have been provided by 52 taxonomic�databases. Of these,�5 are new to the 2008 edition and�17 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.
