Note:

For the purposes of these data summaries, a “whole genome” is interpreted as being an entire assembly of the genome, with or without chromosome assemblies (i.e. assemblies which are at least represented as “scaffold assemblies” in the NCBI GenBank Genomes Database).

The higher classification of Australia's biodiversity is driven by the taxonomic system managed by the Atlas of Living Australia. The Atlas of Living Australia hosts a record of all of the species that appear on the Australian National Species List, and services nationally agreed nomenclature for these species.

The data used to generate the page statistics and graphics are accurate to dd/mm/yy. Data and graphics on this page may be shared under a CC BY 4.0 licence.
