How many species of algae are there?
Algae have been estimated to include anything from 30,000 to more than 1 million species. An attempt is made here to arrive at a more accurate estimate using species numbers in phyla and classes... -
Mapping the biosphere: exploring species to understand the origin, organization and sustainability of biodiversity
The time is ripe for a comprehensive mission to explore and document Earth's species. This calls for a campaign to educate and inspire the next generation of professional and citizen species... -
New Technologies Challenge the Future of Taxonomy in Orthoptera
A global imperative for the conservation of biodiversity brings into focus the need for taxonomic research. However, this biodiversity crisis is reflected in a parallel taxonomic crisis. Whereas... -
Plant DNA Barcodes, Taxonomic Management, and Species Discovery in Tropical Forests
DNA barcodes have great potential for species identifi cation and taxonomic discovery in tropical forests. This use of DNA barcodes requires a reference DNA library of known taxa with which to match... -
Progress in molecular and morphological taxon discovery in Fungi and options for formal classification of environmental sequences
Fungal taxonomy seeks to discover, describe, and classify all species of Fungi and provide tools for their identification. About 100,000 fungal species have been described so far, but it has been... -
Streamlining taxonomic publication: a working example with Scratchpads and ZooKeys
We describe a method to publish nomenclatural acts described in taxonomic websites (Scratchpads) that are formally registered through publication in a printed journal (ZooKeys). This method is fully... -
taxonstand: An r package for species names standardisation in vegetation databases
1. Compilation of vegetation databases has contributed significantly to the advancement of vegetation science all over the world. Yet, methodological problems result from the use of plant names,... -
What would NASA do? Mission-critical infrastructure for species exploration
Three House of Lords reports and many essays and articles have lamented the loss of prestige and support for taxonomy in the UK, Europe and the United States, but little has been done to stop the... -
Current progress in DNA barcoding and future implications for entomology
DNA barcoding is a technique for identifying organisms based on a short, standardized fragment of genomic DNA. The standardized sequence region is called a DNA barcode because it is like a barcode...
