| Notations
used on the website Scientific names are written in italics. Sometimes, after the genus name, there is an abbreviation 'sp.' for 'a species' or 'spp.' for 'many species'. This means we are referring to members of a genus and not to a specific species. Sizes indicated are the typical lengths of the plant or animal. For example, for plants, this is the height; for birds, from bill to tail; for fish, from head to tail. To save space, the dimension is specified only where this is not obvious or when the size does not include some body parts like legs. See also ...
