  2. Taxonomic database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxonomic_database

    Taxonomic databases digitize scientific biodiversity data and provide access to taxonomic data for research. [1] Taxonomic databases vary in breadth of the groups of taxa and geographical space they seek to include, for example: beetles in a defined region, mammals globally, or all described taxa in the tree of life. [2]

  3. List of biodiversity databases - Wikipedia

    This is a list of biodiversity databases.Biodiversity databases store taxonomic information alone or more commonly also other information like distribution (spatial) data and ecological data, which provide information on the biodiversity of a particular area or group of living organisms.

    BacDive: bacterial metadatabase that provides strain-linked information about bacterial and archaeal biodiversity, including taxonomy information; Catalogue of Life: a meta-database of all species on earth; EzTaxon-e: database for the identification of prokaryotes based on 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequences

  5. Linnaean taxonomy - Wikipedia

    Linnaean taxonomy can mean either of two related concepts: The particular form of biological classification (taxonomy) set up by Carl Linnaeus, as set forth in his Systema Naturae (1735) and subsequent works. In the taxonomy of Linnaeus there are three kingdoms, divided into classes, and the classes divided into lower ranks in a hierarchical order.

  6. Taxonomy (biology) - Wikipedia

    A whole set of terms including taxonomy, systematic biology, systematics, scientific classification, biological classification, and phylogenetics have at times had overlapping meanings – sometimes the same, sometimes slightly different, but always related and intersecting. [1] [11] The broadest meaning of "taxonomy" is used here.

    The Legend for this map, published in 1974 under the leadership of Rudi Dudal, became the FAO soil classification. Many ideas from national soil classification systems were brought together in this worldwide-applicable system, among them the idea of diagnostic horizons as established in the '7th approximation to the USDA soil taxonomy' from 1960.

  8. Phylogenetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylogenetics

    Taxonomy is the identification, naming, and classification of organisms. Compared to systemization, classification emphasizes whether a species has characteristics of a taxonomic group. [ 6 ] The Linnaean classification system developed in the 1700s by Carolus Linnaeus is the foundation for modern classification methods.

  9. Ecological classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_classification

    Ecological classification or ecological typology is the classification of land or water into geographical units that represent variation in one or more ecological features. . Traditional approaches focus on geology, topography, biogeography, soils, vegetation, climate conditions, living species, habitats, water resources, and sometimes also anthropic factors.
