If you have added an assessment by mistake, you can click the “Delete” link to delete the assessment. Note that this is not reversible, and a deleted assessment cannot be retrieved. It is usually better to edit an assessment rather than delete it.

To search by species name, you can enter the scientific name (genus and/or species) or the common name. The search engine will find all species that contain all or part of the entry. Example: Enter “Acris”. Result: species with the genus Acris and Pseudacris. Note that undescribed and un-named species (e.g. Anodonthyla sp. aff. boulengeri [Ca HM364558]) are also included in the species list. This example indicates that this is a species of the genus Anodonthyla, and "sp. aff. boulengeri" indicates that molecular evidence suggests that the proposed species is related to, has an affinity to the already described Anodonthyla boulengeri. Authors referring to these species usually also include the GenBank accession numbers, so other people can more easily track back the sequence, and thus in this case it would be Ca HM364558.

To find a comprehensive list (not limited to country or species) of all of your completed assessments or those for a particular Assessor, click the “Reports” link at the top of the page and select “Assessments by User”. Select the name of the Assessor from the drop-down menu and click the “Search” button. The resulting grid shows the Assessor’s last name and first name, species scientific name, country and assessment date. You can view the assessment by clicking the scientific name.
