Species



The data on species level is structured in four areas (see picture below):
1. At the top in light yellow, the species' name is shown together with, when applicable, its IUCN code (click on the code and you will be redirected to IUCN's webpage with detailed information about this threatened species) and, if you have ticked the species, a green tick to the right
2. In the rich yellow field you also have the species name and a scroll function up (left) or down (right) the sequence of the chosen checklist (click on Filter if you want to change the active checklist).
3. Below the yellow field, the taxonomic tree down to the chosen level is shown (click on any higher level to get a new selection of species groups).
4. The submenu in black shows the information sets available:
* Info - species info including a distribution map, a photo and, if applicable, subspecific information and taxonomic notes
* Names [# of] - shows the species' name in different languages (recommended as well as optional names) and within brackets # of names
* Photo [# of] - all photos on the GT Network of this species and within brackets # of photos
* Distribution - a distribution map and countries where this particular species/subspecies has been recorded and also its status
* Who X - list of GT members that have ticked the species and in which countries
* My ticks [# of] - my own ticks on country level and within brackets # of ticks
* My notes [*]- a free text field where you can save your personal notes related to this species; if you have saved information you will have a [*] marker
* Literature - in which book and on which plate is the taxon depicted (this is work-in-progress so not many references so far...)
* xeno-canto - click and you will be redirected to xeno-canto's website to hear voice recordings of the species
* Wikipedia - click on the icon and you will be redirected to Wikipedia's website

Taxonomy and Distribution

Taxa

 Tiger Panthera tigris (35879)
 The tiger once ranged widely across Asia, from Turkey in the west to the eastern coast of Russia. Over the past 100 years tigers have disappeared from southwest and central Asia, from two Indonesian islands (Java and Bali) and from large areas of Southeast and Eastern Asia. Tigers have lost 93% of their historic range.
 virgataExtinct. Caspian Tigers were found in the sparse forest habitats and riverine corridors west (Turkey) and south (Iran) of the Caspian Sea and west through Central Asia into the Takla Makan desert of Xinjiang, China. The last Caspian tiger was seen in the early 1970s, and there are none in captivity.
 sondaicaIndonesia (Java). The Javan Tiger likely became extinct in the mid-1970s.
 balicaIndonesia (Bali). Became extinct at the end of World War II.
 amoyensisToday the estimated population of the South Chinese subspecies is 20-30 individuals found only in the Chinese provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang.
 altaicaCompletely confined to the Amur-Ussuri region of Primorsky Krai and Khabarovsk Krai in far eastern Siberia.
 sumatraeSumatra (Indonesia)
 jacksoniPeninsular Malaysia. The geographic division between P. t. jacksoni and P. t. corbetti is unclear as tiger populations in northern Malaysia are contiguous with those in southern Thailand.
 corbettiThe Indochinese tiger occurs in Myanmar, Thailand, Lao PDR, Viet Nam and Cambodia.
 tigrisIt occurs in India, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh.
