For example, Template:Taxonomy/Mus (Coelomys). For plant subgenus names, the style "Template:Taxonomy/Genus subg. Subgenus" is used. (The bare subgenus name should not be used, because then the taxonomy template for the nominate subgenus, such Mus or Banksia subg. Banksia, cannot be distinguished from the taxonomy template for the genus.)
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]
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)
For example, a basic biology taxonomy would have concepts such as mammal, which is a subset of animal, and dogs and cats, which are subsets of mammal. This kind of taxonomy is called an is-a model because the specific objects are considered instances of a concept. For example, Fido is-a instance of the concept dog and Fluffy is-a cat. [8]
DELTA (DEscription Language for TAxonomy) is a data format used in taxonomy for recording descriptions of living things. It is designed for computer processing, allowing the generation of identification keys, diagnosis , etc. [ 1 ]
Willi Hennig's pioneering work provoked a controversy [33] about the relative merits of phylogenetic nomenclature versus Linnaean taxonomy, or the related method of evolutionary taxonomy, which has continued to the present. [34] Some of the controversies with which the cladists were engaged had been happening since the 19th century. [35]
For example, a basic biology taxonomy would have concepts such as mammal, which is a subset of animal, and dogs and cats, which are subsets of mammal. This kind of taxonomy is called an is-a model because the specific objects are considered as instances of a concept. For example, Fido is-an instance of the concept dog and Fluffy is-a cat. [23]
An example of a long-established taxon that is not also a clade is the class Reptilia, the reptiles; birds and mammals are the descendants of animals traditionally classed as reptiles, but neither is included in the Reptilia (birds are traditionally placed in the class Aves, and mammals in the class Mammalia).
