Regional flora and fauna (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

biota

'regional flora and fauna' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for biota that I've seen before include "Animal and plant life in an area" , "The animal and plant life of a region or period" , "Region's creatures, plants" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and The New York Times.
