We are moving the database from GT1 to GT2 right now, so it can be some problems with the GT2-checklist.

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

Taxonomy and Distribution

Taxa

 Sika Deer Cervus nippon (36360)
 The sika was distributed across east Asia, from central China in the west to Japan and Korea in the east, and from the extreme eastern tip of Russia in the north to southern China and Viet Nam. Specifically, it was originally found in China (formerly from Manchuria south to Guangxi, and Sichuan to Anhui), North and South Korea (including Cheju Island) (but now probably extinct in both countries), Japan, Russia (a few places in Primorsky in the Far East), Taiwan (extinct in 1969, but subsequently re-introduced), and Viet Nam (probably now extinct). Wild populations are now very localized in China. In Japan, the species ranges widely from Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu, islands in the Seto Inland Sea (Awaji, Shodo, and others), Goto Islands, Ika, Yakushima, Mageshima, Kuchinoerabu-shima, Tsushima, and the Kerama Islands (introduced) (Okinawa Prefecture). The species has been widely introduced. In the Philippines it was anciently introduced to Solo Island, with questions remaining as to its continued existence there. It was introduced in 17th century to Kerama Islands (Ryukyu Islands, Japan); and introduced in 19th-20th centuries to British Isles, mainland Europe (Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, western Russia, and Ukraine), New Zealand, USA, and small islands off Japan (Whitehead 1993; Wemmer 1998; Grubb, 2005). It is also widely farmed in Asia, particularly in China. (IUCN 2010)
