NaviKey - Pseudosinella dataset

Pseudosinella taxonomy

This page is an update of Ken Christiansen's original Pseudosinella database, which is now outdated but archived for historical purposes at Grinell College.

Java needs to be installed in your computer to run NaviKey, the Delta engine driving this key. If it doesn't work with Internet Explorer please try Mozilla Firefox.

The way Delta works may be affected by the latitude of the options you have chosen for the algorithm. If the key does not appear to give results consistent with your wisdom, please try unchecking "Use character dependencies" and/or "Restrict view on user characters..." on the engine's "Options" tab.

This database is now located at the Department of Zoology and Ecology of the University of Navarra, Spain. Please contact Rafael Jordana for data issues, or Arturo H. Ariño for technical issues.
