🍁🐾 Life & taxa hub

Notes:

EarthWeb.info's Life & taxa pages (🍁🐾 in the main menu) focus on specific taxonomic levels (e.g., insects, orchids, funghi, pandas, etc.).

This Life & taxa hub highlights an eclectic selection of taxa, most of which have played a prominent role in conservation efforts.

As such, it constitutes an infinitesimal sampling of the planet's biodiversity.

If you are starting a search for taxa-specific information, you are more likely to find what you want beginning at the Biodiversity databases & data management initiatives page.

General biodiversity issues can be found starting at the Biodiversity conservation hub.
