Subject Taxonomy
 
Description Taxonomy is the discipline of Biology that identifies, names and classifies organisms according to
certain rules. Taxonomists are scientists who study classifying and taxon ( taxa-plural) is a category
into which related organisms are placed. Aristotle was the first taxonomist dividing organisms into
land, sea and air dwellers and Linnaeus introduced the binomial nomenclature (Genus and species)
where the genus is always capitalized followed by species in lower case. Taxonomy is central to
exploring and understanding biodiversity. Alpha taxonomy deals with the species category, beta
taxonomy with higher categories. The need for good alpha taxonomy is further increased by the
biodiversity crisis both for assisting conservation programs and documenting diversity before it is
lost.
