Talk:Fauna

message: Ok. Now we moved Fauna (animals) to Fauna but the talk page was left behind. I tried the request move templates but it didn't work. Who can do this. How do you request the talk page to be moved from here to Talk:Fauna? Currently there's just a redirect. Jasu 12:57, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reunite talk with article 

message: Shouldn't this page be a Fauna and the disambig page that is there be linked to at the top of this page. Surely the majority of people who look for "Fauna" will be looking for the animals, not the other two definitions. Witty lama 13:11, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Best not to cut and paste, that way you loose the edit history. Best thing to do is move fauna to fauna (disambiguation), find a friendly admin to delete the redirect left behind, this should be speedy G6, then move fauna (animals) to fauna. --Salix alba (talk) 19:15, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Well done, Thanks! I reckon that's much more like it now. Cheers guys. Witty lama 04:01, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wiktionary 

message: This is just a proposal... I was wondering that considering all the Microfauna,  Megafauna, etc... are related very closely to fauna and in any case they are all stubs, what would all of you think of merging them with Fauna...? Each of them as sections. --Francisco Valverde 17:18, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging proposal 

message: We could also include, being consecuent with Flora, the list of the most famous faunas, like for example Linnaeus' Fauna Suecica, being fauna also the name of a book and any relevant history. This, I just speculate, I am not an expert in this subject, could do a good section...--Francisco Valverde 13:08, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fauna as a book 

message: I have found the term Ichthyofauna for fish fauna. It was in the German and Polish Wiki. Is it also used in English? --Francisco Valverde 21:45, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ichthyofauna is the correct term, possibly derived from Ichthyology. Joelito (talk) 20:46, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. Fauna is a Latin word, so it should have the Latin prefix pisci- (as in the article), rather than Greek ichthyo-. Ichthyofauna does seem to be more common on Google, though, so I guess we should note it. Lesgles (talk) 00:30, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You are, of course, right, Lesgles, but explain that to words like "automobile" -- which should be either "autokineton" or "ipsomobile"...  —Nightstallion (?) 09:31, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ichthyofauna or Piscifauna? 

message: Both the sections on Macrofauna and Meiofauna use the term "benthic."  After studying the article at benthic, I wonder if the term "aquatic" might be more accurate? ~ Mpwrmnt 09:11, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "benthic" or "aquatic"? 

message: I get a very different picture of what Macrofauna might look like, depending on whether I consult this article ("Macrofauna are benthic or soil organisms which are at least one millimeter in length.") or the Wictionary ("macrofauna: A term applied to large animals, not quite large enough to be considered megafauna but larger than microfauna. Some include larger species of insects and annelids in this group.")  Perhaps a few examples in each category would help. ~ Mpwrmnt 09:17, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Let's have some examples, please! 

message: Are the Subdivisions listed in any particular order?  It seems to me that it might be clearer if they were.  ~ Mpwrmnt 09:23, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Order of the Subdivisions? 

message: The term 'microfauna' is listed as 'microscopic' and the Meiofauna, also defined as 'larger than 45 nanometers' are supposed to be larger than microfauna, but the microfauna page itself lists (nonmicroscopic) gerbils and housecats. Clearly someone is a little confused.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.48.161 (talk) 05:39, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fauna or Flora? 

message: i have removed the sentence showing erroneous use of the word fauna. the word 'fauna' specifically means 'all animals' and so the expression 'ant fauna', like 'cat fauna', 'fish fauna' or anything similar is not only redundant it's incorrect.
for example 'arboreal fauna' makes sense, so does 'arboreal insects', but 'arboreal insect fauna' doesn't; the all animal insects of trees?? 114.189.88.207 (talk) 10:05, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  "ant fauna" 

message: According to: 
"Fauna is all of the animal life of any particular region or time", 
should be tigers, white bears, and pinguins as fauna of London, Amsterdam, or Warsaw? 
All of them are living in Zoologicals Gardens in many places. 
But not in natur. 
So I think, the definition need some correct. Lien Shan (talk) 23:50, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
