All taxa: number of marine scientific names at all ranks (sum of species, genera, families,..., accepted and synonyms).
All species: number of marine species (sum of accepted and synonyms) within the specific rank.
Acc. species: number of accepted marine species within the specific rank.
Species (non-marine): number of non-marine species (sum of accepted and synonyms) within the specific rank.
Checked taxa: number of scientific names (%) that have been verified by a Taxonomic Editor.
