Ten Challenges to Transform Taxonomy
نویسنده
چکیده
Taxonomy is at a crossroads. Although taxonomy has an impressive past, having documented and organized knowledge of nearly two million species, most of the basic work required to describe Earth’s biodiversity remains undone. Factors that guide the choices of research topics in science are considered. Ten challenges are presented to the taxonomic community that we believe will accelerate its revitalization.

متن کاملThe current status of Pythium species in Iran: challenges in taxonomy
Pythium species are cosmopolitan, fungus-like oomycotes which may cause diseases in plants, animals and even human beings. Some of the species, however, are saprophytes and also well-proven biological control agents of plant pathogenic fungi. Since 1968, when the first Pythium species was reported from Iran, ca 44 species, two varieties, and five groups of this genus have been reported from dif...
متن کاملPseudomonas Isolation and Identification: An Introduction to the Challenges of Polyphasic Taxonomy †
The ability to isolate an organism in pure culture from the environment is a manageable task for undergraduate students; the identification of that organism requires integration of both genotypic and phenotypic data and illustrates the challenges inherent in contemporary bacterial taxonomy. In this ten-laboratory period series of exercises, students isolate a strain of Pseudomonas from soil and...
