Taxonomy Discussion
November 2007 Photo contest winner - mesozoic
Welcome to the Taxonomy Forum! Taxonomy is the science of identifying and naming species, and arranging them into a classification. The field of taxonomy, sometimes referred to as "biological taxonomy", revolves around the description and use of taxonomic units, known as taxa (singular taxon). A resulting taxonomy is a particular classification ("the taxonomy of ..."), arranged in a hierarchical structure or classification scheme. Here you may post messages or questions pertaining to all aspects and issues regarding Reptile and Amphibian Taxonomy. If you are a new user to this forum, please take the time to review the rules first before posting: Terms of Service.
