Linked from
The 124 pages that link to Taxonomy, each with the reason it gives.
Carl LinnaeusNarrower topic: It is the broader discipline in which Linnaeus’s classification work belongs.
Comparative anatomyNarrower topic: Comparative anatomy can inform classification, but taxonomy also relies on other evidence.
DNA barcodingRelated: Barcode matches depend on the accuracy of species names attached to reference sequences.
Natural historyRelated: Classification organizes the diversity documented by naturalists.
Binomial nomenclatureNarrower topic: Binomial nomenclature supplies species names within taxonomic classification.
SpeciesNarrower topic: Species are the central units that taxonomy names and places in broader groups.
Marine biodiversityRelated: Reliable biodiversity estimates depend on accurate identification of marine species.
Botanical nomenclatureNarrower topic: Botanical nomenclature supplies names for the taxa that taxonomy recognizes.
International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plantsNarrower topic: The Code regulates naming, while taxonomy also includes classification and biological interpretation.
Conservation geneticsCompared with: Genetic data can inform classification, but conservation genetics focuses on management consequences.
International Code of Zoological NomenclatureNarrower topic: The Code regulates naming, while taxonomic judgments determine which animal groups are recognized.
Plant systematicsRelated: It supplies the classification framework used to organize plant diversity.
Species DelimitationRelated: Delimitation supplies the evidence for recognizing taxa that taxonomy formally names.
Crop wild relativesRelated: Disputed species boundaries can affect which plants count as crop wild relatives.
Biodiversity monitoringRelated: Consistent identification and names are needed to compare records over time.
Ernst HaeckelRelated: His creation and use of taxonomic ranks reshaped how organisms were grouped.
MorphologyRelated: Structural traits have long supplied characters used to identify and classify species.
PhylogenomicsCompared with: Classification assigns names and groups; phylogenomics infers relationships that can inform them.
Scientific illustrationRelated: Classification determines which visible traits matter for distinguishing specimens.
Taxonomic rankNarrower topic: Taxonomic ranks form the hierarchical framework used in classification.
Species complexNarrower topic: Revisions to a complex can change its members’ scientific names and classification.
Species problemNarrower topic: Species concepts guide the decisions through which taxonomists organize life.
TaxonNarrower topic: Taxonomy establishes and revises the taxa recognized in classification.
Vladimir NabokovRelated: His butterfly research included taxonomic descriptions and revisions.
Botanical illustrationNarrower topic: Botanical images help document the features used to distinguish plant taxa.
Fish taxonomyNarrower topic: Fish taxonomy is a specialized branch of this broader discipline.
PhasianidaeNarrower topic: Changing taxonomic systems determine which genera and species are assigned to the family.
Taxonomic revisionNarrower topic: A revision is a focused reassessment within taxonomy.
Bone WarsRelated: The rivals’ rapid descriptions created lasting disputes over names and classification.
Marine biologyRelated: Identifying marine species makes their distributions and relationships measurable.
Edward Drinker CopeRelated: Cope’s prolific descriptions expanded fossil classifications, while some names were later revised.
HolotypeRelated: Taxonomists designate holotypes when formally describing species.
ViverridaeRelated: Species boundaries and family relationships remain subjects of taxonomic research.
Biological classificationRelated: Taxonomy supplies the formal methods used to establish biological groups.
Species PlantarumNarrower topic: The book joined naming and classification in a single systematic work.
InvertebrateNarrower topic: Invertebrate is a broad descriptive grouping, not a formal taxonomic rank.
Species descriptionNarrower topic: Species descriptions supply the evidence and names used in taxonomic classification.
CoraciiformesNarrower topic: Different taxonomic systems have drawn the boundaries of Coraciiformes differently.
Cranial ornamentationRelated: Ornament shapes can help distinguish fossil species, though they may vary with age.
Natural History Museum, LondonRelated: Taxonomic systems organize much of the museum's biological material.
Common nameNarrower topic: Taxonomic classification provides the framework behind many scientific names used alongside common names.
Joseph LeidyRelated: Leidy’s fossil descriptions depended on distinguishing and classifying species from anatomical evidence.
MonophylyRelated: Taxonomic groups are often evaluated by whether they correspond to clades.
Natural history illustrationNarrower topic: Natural history images help communicate the characters used to distinguish taxa.
PercomorphaRelated: Ongoing revisions affect the names and ranks assigned to percomorph groups.
Systema NaturaeNarrower topic: Systema Naturae is a foundational work in the history of biological classification.
GenusNarrower topic: Genus is one rank in biological classification.
Sahelanthropus tchadensisRelated: Debate over whether Sahelanthropus is a hominin concerns both its classification and evolutionary relationships.
John Edward GrayNarrower topic: Gray’s principal scientific work was the classification of animals.
John GouldRelated: Gould’s publications introduced and organized many bird species through taxonomic descriptions.
