Formal ranks in the taxonomic hierarchy shown in a taxobox should be in descending sequence. In the table shown on the right when viewing a taxonomy template, ranks that appear to be anomalous are highlighted in red, and when the last in the table cause the template to be placed in Category:Taxonomy templates showing anomalous ranks.
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.
