Implications and caveats

Severity: Warning

• Matching to the taxonomic backbone cannot be done because there was no information provided, no match to the information provided, or several matches with too little information to keep them apart (potentially homonyms).
• Records without a taxonomic match are unable to be placed in the ALA taxonomic hierarchy. They will only appear in searches that cover the entire database, or searches looking for records with this issue.
• May indicate an incorrect scientific name or a scientific name not used in Australia.
• The names lists used by the ALA are targeted to the Australian jurisdiction and may not be completely up to date with current taxonomic research and publication

Data custodian recommendations

Review scientific name provided and source names lists for currency. If the record can't be matched at a species level, consider matching to a higher taxon.
