All datasets have information on taxonomic order, family and species, category of threat and if the species was evaluated in the previous list MMA2014. The invertebratesBRlist dataset provides the additional fields phylum and class, this information is not present in the MMA 148/2022 and was added to the dataset using the package taxsize.
Please feel free to report any mistakes on the datasets. Taxonomic classification follows the MMA 300/2022. For the Birds list I intend to incorporate the Brazilian and US common name since it is avaiable online, if anyone has this information for the other groups and want to contribute please contact me at pbarrosbio@gmail.com.
