The shape of the register, drawn: classes in the inner ring, then orders, then families in the outer ring. The angle of each arc is the node’s share of the published terminal records beneath it, so the size is the count and nothing else.

448 published terminal records (447 species and 1 subspecies) in 93 families and 26 orders.

Inner ring: classes · middle ring: orders (each arc links to its order page) · outer ring: families (each arc links to its family page). The names around the ring belong to the orders whose arc is wide enough to carry one; every other node is in the list below.

Text alternative to the drawing: every node

What this drawing does not show
  • No distribution: it does not say where any animal occurs. The register publishes no distribution record yet, and a local name recorded for a coast is not one.
  • No relation between two species: no “lives with”, no “preys on”, no “feeds on”. The only relation drawn is “belongs to”: a family belongs to an order and an order to a class, as the register holds them.
  • No habitat, no sea, no hazard: none of these is a node in the drawing.
  • Size is the number of published records and nothing more; it is no evidence of how common an animal is in the water or how much it matters.
