Description

An export of data from the Hesperomys Project version 23.2.0. The Hesperomys Project is a database of taxonomy and nomenclature, focused on mammals but also covering some other groups, principally other fossil tetrapods. The database contains information such as:

  • Taxonomic classification for all mammals, living and extinct
  • References to original citations for the vast majority of names
  • Type specimens and type localities for numerous names

The full database is available online at hesperomys.com. This export contains:

  • name.csv: Data on names, including taxonomic context, authority, citation, type locality, type specimen, and classification of the etymology.
  • taxon.csv: Data on taxa, including classification and authority
  • collection.csv: Data on collections that contain type specimens, including name, location, and number of type specimens in the database

The code used to generate the exports is on GitHub.
