Every organism CalCOFI has counted
From the diatoms of the phytoplankton slides
to the whales of the Farallon census, keyed to one accepted name so the same species means the same thing in
every dataset. Search it, walk the tree, or start from a dataset — every taxon has its own page, and the
1,540 observed carry 890 ancestors that roll them up. The machine-readable form is one JSON per taxon (/species/{slug}.json) and

The two authorities are merged where they name the same rank twice — the taxon table keys birds through ITIS and everything else through WoRMS, so Animalia, Chordata, Vertebrata and Gnathostomata each appear once here and link to their WoRMS page. Dataset colour is never the only cue: a dot always has its dataset's name beside it, and the matrix is one sequential ramp.
