Instance or subclass
edit@Eulenspiegel1: I don't think my cat is an instance of Q845214 (now it is inherited also that she is Biota (Q2382443) which is nonsense). You added that this is group of organisms (which I almost agree) so the cat is a part of it. Moreover I see an instance like Biota of Tokyo Imperial Palace (Q4915320) which is a group of organism so why not to have

- This item has been described as "plant and animal life of a region" in English since 2019.
- No specialized vocabulary (at the same level of flora or fauna) seems to have emerged to describe biota of bacteria, protista or mushroom; few literature can be found. --Zhenqinli (talk) 13:53, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
- Hi. English Wikipedia says that it's "Microbiota" which "include bacteria, archaea, protists, fungi, and viruses". I think macroscopic funguses are sometimes included in the flora concept and that's why Merriam-Webster online dictionary and biology online dictionnary talk only about fauna and flora for biota. But their is the new concept of funga for funguses that seems to be included in biota. --Harmonizator (talk) 09:51, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
- So we will make "biota" and "microbiota" the opposites? --Infovarius (talk) 12:11, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
- mycobiota (Q1474267) seems to be a new term used to describe biota of fungi specifically, though not yet used widely. --Zhenqinli (talk) 22:13, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
