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]
In biology, taxonomic rank (which some authors prefer to call nomenclatural rank [1] because ranking is part of nomenclature rather than taxonomy proper, according to some definitions of these terms) is the relative or absolute level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in a hierarchy that reflects evolutionary
This template sets up a manual taxobox, as a right-side infobox table setting out the biological classification for a group of living things.For guide to automated taxoboxes, see WP:Automated taxobox system/intro.
Normally you should not create a taxonomy template for a species or a lower rank; the taxonomy can be retrieved from the genus's taxonomy template. Use {{ Speciesbox }} in the article rather than {{ Automatic taxobox }} .
The hierarchy of scientific classification. Taxonomy mnemonics are used to memorize the scientific classification applied in taxonomy. They are usually constructed with a series of words that begin with the letters KPCOFGS, corresponding to the initials of the primary taxonomic ranks.
The project uses a supertree approach to generate a single phylogenetic tree (served at tree.opentreeoflife.org [5]) from a comprehensive taxonomy and a curated set of published phylogenetic estimates. The taxonomy is a combination of several large classifications produced by other projects; it is created using a software tool called "smasher". [6]
It is intended to be used only in other taxonomy templates, particularly Template:Taxobox/core. It takes three parameters: rank – the Latin rank of the taxon (e.g. "ordo"), which will be anglicized before display (required) link – the formatted taxon name with any wikilink to be used (required)
A. W. Eichler. A system of plant taxonomy, the Eichler system was the first phylogenetic (phyletic) or evolutionary system. [1] [2] It was developed by August W. Eichler (1839–1887), initially in his Blüthendiagramme (1875–1878) and then in successive editions of his Syllabus (1876–1890).
