Arctic Biodiversity Assessment (ABA) 2013.

Table 7.1. A typical biodiversity profile across invertebrate taxa for a high Arctic region: the diversity of the terrestrial and freshwater invertebrates of Svalbard, listing the number of families, genera and species for each known group. Data are based on revised versions of Coulson (2000, 2007) and Coulson & Refseth (2004). The list includes occasional presumed vagrants and introductions. The table retains the animal classifi cation used in the original work: more recent updates of the classification for some groups, such as the rotifers, are given in Tab. 7.3.
