Discrepancies between taxonomic databases. A: Occurrence of canonical scientific names found in four taxonomic reference databases. B: Canonical name-synonym discrepancy. Dark blue: universal canonical names – scientific names which appear only as canonical names in at least one other taxonomic reference database. Gold: disputed canonical names – scientific names appear as synonym of other canonical name in at least one other taxonomic reference database. Grey: unique canonical names – scientific names only appear in a given database. C: Taxonomic composition of entities found within databases. Dark blue: metazoa (animal), Green: plant, Purple: fungi, Gold: bacteria, Cyan: archaea, Dark red: virus, Grey: others. D: Number of hemihomonyms found within taxonomic databases. E: Number of canonical scientific hemihomonyms which correspond to more than two different taxonomic entities with different taxonomic rank. Dark blue: number of whole rank disagreements, Gold: number of rank disagreements found within a single database
