Comprehensive Checklist – Fauna of Alaska

The Comprehensive Checklist contains 652 accepted names of non-fish, vertebrate species that are known to occur in Alaska. The checklist also includes 2 provisionally accepted names. We include 233 synonyms and spelling variants. This checklist is searchable by both all names and accepted names.

Instructions

Use the filters and search boxes below to explore the checklist. The “Given Names” field includes all names that have been applied or misapplied to vertebrate species in Alaska. The “Accepted Names” field shows accepted taxa. The “Status” field shows the relationship between the applied/misapplied name and accepted name. The “Source” field contains links for the reference material from which a name was accepted.

Fields can be filtered by typing queries in the main search block above the table or in the search blocks directly below the column names. For example, members of the genus Poecile can be searched for by typing “Poecile” into either the main search block or the “Accepted Names” field. This search will return all names (accepted, synonyms, spelling variants, etc.) that have been applied to species that are currently in the genus.

To download the results of a query, click the desired download format (Excel or CSV). Use the “Clear Filters” option to erase query results and return to displaying all rows.
