Introduction to Taxonomy
View through CrossRef
This chapter provides a general introduction to taxonomy. Taxonomy is the scientific discipline of describing, delimiting, and naming organisms. It is the foundation of biodiversity science, and taxonomic identification underpins studies of ecology, physiology, conservation, evolution, and more recently environmental policy, as issues and new legislation regarding sustainable management of our oceans have come to the forefront. Being able to identify and recognize planktonic organisms is key to both the protection and the sustainable management of marine resources.
