Dyntaxa. Svensk taxonomisk databas
type: Dataset
description: Dyntaxa is a Swedish taxonomic database of organisms occurring in Swedish nature. For other databases at the Swedish Species Information Centre, e.g. Artportalen, it has a normative function for taxonomic concepts, and is increasingly referenced by external Swedish users. To date (October 2021) Dyntaxa contains information about 62,200 species occurring in Sweden. This includes about 95% of known multicellular species – remaining gaps mainly found among the fungi. Our goal is to include in the database all species documented from Sweden – at least the multicellular ones and such unicellular species that are included in environmental monitoring by the Swedish EPA. In addition to these species there are many names at other taxonomic levels, scientific synonyms, Swedish vernaculars, etc. In all, the database includes more than 307,000 names (October 2021). Dyntaxa is continuously updated with new species, changes in taxonomy and added Swedish names and scientific synonyms.
