If only down to "family" is available, it uses that term for scientific name.) There are 394,139 unique scientific names. This column is non-null for all entries; unresolved scientific names are denoted `''`.

Note: this large number of kingdoms (12) are considered in recognition of the fact that there is not agreement on merging them. Unresolved kingdoms are denoted `' '`.
