arXiv:2606.03156v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We describe a versioned cross-domain dataset of 410,499 active tropical species (working snapshot 2026-04-20) spanning three applied subdomains -- tropical_plants, tropical_aquatic, and tropical_pets -- that share a commercial and regulatory life cycle but are distributed across kingdom-organised biodiversity infrastructures. The resource joins taxonomic identifiers from GBIF, Plants of the World Online, iNaturalist, NCBI Taxonomy, the Catalogue of Life and the Encyclopedia of Life, and adds three original layers: a cross-domain ontology that re-segments taxa along trade and husbandry contexts; a Chinese vernacular layer with explicit per-name provenance under a typology that excludes unverified machine-generated proposals; and a CITES source-linkage layer connecting each taxon to its Species+ entry. Chinese vernacular coverage -- the proportion of taxa carrying a CJK Chinese name distinct from the scientific binomial -- reaches 99.
