Practice searchesTo get a better understanding of the NatureServe Explorer database and search techniques, try these name searches. Type in a whole scientific or common name or a GRANK (global ranking). Or, use part of the name with wildcards, ignore punctuation, and AND/OR to find out how the results differ using the various techniques. Note: NatureServe Explorer is updated regularly, so your results may differ after each update. PlantsTry searching for these plants by one criterion or by a combination of whole or partial names from either the scientific or common name with the GRANK (global ranking for conservation significance). If you use partial names, place a wildcard ( * ) in various positions to view how its placement determines results.
AnimalsTry searching for these animals by one criterion or by a combination of whole or partial names from either the scientific or common name with the GRANK (global ranking for conservation significance). If you use partial names, place a wildcard ( * ) in various positions to view how its placement determines results.
*Salmon are classified by populations. However, searching by pop 1 is not recommended here. CommunitiesTry searching for these communities by one criterion or by a combination of the scientific or common name and GRANK (global ranking for conservation significance). Use whole or partial names. Try searches with ignore punctuation turned off and on to find how this option affects your results.
Taxonomic and combined searchesTry searching for these species and communities by their formal and informal taxonomic trees to understand how taxonomic searches can give you more precise results. Then, try combining a species search and a community search to view how these results appear. See also:Searching
