FaunaKeys

What is FaunaKeys?

FaunaKeys makes available web-based taxonomic tools for easy identification of selected invertebrate and vertebrate groups in New South Wales and Australia.

Illustrated interactive keys combined with information pages, photo images and accompanying checklists on taxa will provide hands-on education for both beginners and professionals in the field. The keys are linked to helpful glossaries and labelled diagrams on general anatomy and morphology. Additionally, lists of useful references will be handy for those seeking further information or literature sources.
