Biodiversity checklists for Bhutan.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The species checklists for Bhutan published in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) were originally collated for the publication 'Biodiversity Statistics of Bhutan 2017, A Preliminary Baseline' (BSB 2017). This document was published in 2019 and is the first comprehensive overview of Bhutan's species richness, recording more than 11,000 species across all five kingdoms. Collation of biodiversity checklists has been limited in Bhutan. Thus, this paper and its associated data provide an overview of all species from the kingdoms Plantae, Animalia, Fungi, Chromista and Eubacteria in the country that have been recorded in scientific publications.

New information

The checklists showcase 11,175 species from the kingdoms Plantae, Animalia, Fungi, Chromista
