The Interim Register of Marine and Nonmarine Genera (IRMNG) is a database of life.
It includes published scientific names for all domains of life from 1758 in zoology (1753 in plants, flowers, and trees) up to the present. It has a consistent order. The database holds over 1.7 million species names (1.3 million listed as "accepted").
Database location and hosting[change | change source]
The database was created by Australian biologist and data manager Tony Rees in 2006.[1] For his work on this and other projects, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility awarded him the 2014 Ebbe Nielsen Prize.[1] IRMNG identifiers have also been associated with numerous Wikipedia taxon pages, based on content harvested from IRMNG and stored in Wikidata.[2]
