Australian online fauna & flora databases: Both the Commonwealth of Australia and its various states maintain a number of online databases which encompass both native and naturalised fauna and flora. Some are taxonomic. Some are descriptive. Some indicate threatened or nuisance species. The list below is incomplete.

Australian databases

ABRS (Australian Biological Resources Study) online resources lists:

and numerous other databases.

State databases

The majority of these are run by state herbaria, but Queensland produces several government originated databases.

  • Queensland biota includes both fauna and flora found in Queensland (and is useful for this fact), and gives the taxon's status under the Queensland conservation act. Taxon names do not necessarily match current usage. This database is used for Queensland Biota ID in wikidata (not currently included in the taxonbar).
