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).
