The Catalogue of Life is an online database that provides an index of known species of animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms. It was created in 2001 as a partnership between the global Species 2000 and the American Integrated Taxonomic Information System. The Catalogue is used by research scientists, citizen scientists, educators, and policy makers. The Catalogue is also used by the Biodiversity Heritage Library, the Barcode of Life Data System, Encyclopedia of Life, and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility. The Catalogue currently compiles data from 165 peer-reviewed taxonomic databases that are maintained by specialist institutions around the world. As of September 2022, the COL Checklist lists 2,067,951 of the world's 2.2m extant species known to taxonomists on the planet at present time.

Oribatida, also known as oribatid mites, moss mites or beetle mites, are an order of mites, in the "chewing Acariformes" clade Sarcoptiformes. They range in size from 0.2 to 1.4 millimetres. There are currently 12,000 species that have been identified, but researchers estimate that there may be anywhere from 60,000 to 120,000 total species. Oribatid mites are by far the most prevalent of all arthropods in forest soils, and are essential for breaking down organic detritus and distributing fungi.

The Roccellaceae are a family of fungi in the order Arthoniomycetes. Most taxa are lichenized with green algae, although some are lichenicolous, growing on other lichens.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Proscopiidae</span> Family of grasshoppers

Proscopiidae is a family of Neotropical grasshoppers, now placed in its own superfamily, the Proscopioidea. Some species may be known as stick grasshoppers or jumping sticks. Within the family Proscopiidae, there is 34 genera and 228 different species. The proscopiids are herbivores and feed on a variety of plants in a variety of environmental conditions. Due to the insects being herbivores, they also have the ability to cause significant damage to the agriculture of their neotropical habitat. Identifying Proscopiidae is extremely difficult due to their close resemblance to a couple of other species of insect and the fact that the proscopiid taxonomy is far from complete.

<i>Siro</i> (harvestman) Genus of harvestmen/daddy longlegs

Siro is a genus of mite harvestmen in the family Sironidae with 7 described species. All are found in Europe.

<i>Herpothallon</i> Genus of lichens

Herpothallon is a genus of crustose lichens in the family Arthoniaceae. It has about 50 species.

Crypthonia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Arthoniaceae. It has 16 species. The genus was circumscribed in 2010 by Andreas Frisch and Göran Thor, with Crypthonia polillensis assigned as the type species.

Myriostigma is a genus of lichens in the family Arthoniaceae. The genus was circumscribed by German lichenologist August von Krempelhuber in 1874.

Inoderma is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Arthoniaceae. It was resurrected for use in 2015 for a small group of species with the following features: elevated, white pruinose pycnidia, immersed to adnate white pruinose apothecia, and a weakly gelatinized hymenium. Inoderma byssaceum was assigned as the type species for the genus.

Melarthonis is fungal genus in the family Chrysotrichaceae. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Melarthonis piceae, a corticolous lichen. Both the genus and species were described as new to science in 2014 by Andreas Frisch and Göran Thor. The type specimen was collected from Mount Oakan at an altitude of 420 m (1,380 ft); there, it was found growing on the bark of a spruce tree in an old-growth forest. It is only known to occur in the type locality. The genus name alludes to the black ascomata that are similar to those in genus Arthonia, while the species epithet refers to the genus of the host tree (Picea).

Glomerulophoron is a small genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Arthoniaceae. The genus contains two species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) crustose lichens. It was circumscribed in 2015 by the lichenologists Andreas Frisch, Damien Ertz, and Göran Thor. It was created to contain a single species from Mauritius, G. mauritiae, which was distinct from the similar genus Sporodophoron both genetically and morphologically, in the tightly coiled chains of sporodochial conidia. The genus gained another member in 2024 when the Brazilian species G. confluentisorediatum was added to it. It is distinguished from the type species by the absence of sporodochia.
