Browse

Counts are recordings at or below each taxon, so an empty branch shows as empty before you click it. A dash means the join view holds no column for that rank and cannot roll up to it.

Sources

The rows audioBlast holds for this taxon, each matched to the same Catalogue of Life node. Where a source classifies it differently, its own classification is kept.

Source	Its name	Its rank	Its family	Record
iNaturalist	Spheniscidae	Family	Spheniscidae	iNaturalist/3806
BAbio.acousti.ca	Spheniscidae	Family	Spheniscidae	bio.acousti.ca/5021
