About this group
This is a free online public enquiry database that provides taxonomic and biological information. The database is constantly being updated and expanded with addition of new data sets. At present about 55 per cent of described species are listed in the Australian Faunal Directory. The database can be downloaded from http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/abrs/online-resources/fauna/index.html
