SwissNature.org - Added value

This page provides an overview of the options for exploring animals (fauna) and plants (flora) that are provided by SwissNature.org.

Habitats (biotopes) show which plants (flora, botany) and animals (fauna, biology) thrive and live in a particular environment (biocoenosis).

This page lists all species for which there is at least one record in SwissNature.org (e.g. insect A on flower B) or which we could document in at least one habitat.

This function can be used to determine which animals (e.g. all, bees or emperor cloak) we have been able to document, identify and enter into the database on which plants (e.g. all, labiates or glossy scabious).

On this page, you can find out which animals (e.g. all, bees or purple emperor butterflies) we have been able to document, identify and enter into the database so far, according to altitude, on which plants (e.g. all, labiates or shiny scabious).

On this page, you can find out at which altitudes we were able to document, identify and enter which animals (e.g. all, bees or emperor moths) and/or plants (e.g. all, labiates or shiny scabious) into the database.

The species that we have observed in parts of Switzerland to date, documented photographically, identified and entered into the database can be displayed per category (e.g. ants, bees, wasps, etc.) using this function. One concise photo is displayed per species.

The flora and fauna identification guides help to identify plants (flora) and animals (fauna).

The ecological indicator values according to ©Landolt et al. (2010) provide information on, amongst other things, climate indicators, soil indicators and/or substrate indicators.

The Red Lists provide information on the conservation status of animals and plants.
