122. Proposed FGDC Biological Nomenclature And Taxonomy Data Standard Proposed FGDC Biological Nomenclature and taxonomy Data Standard. Development of data standards to support discovery, comparison, exchange, and integration http://biology.usgs.gov/fgdc.bio/standard.html

OCTOBER 1999 Proposed FGDC Biological Nomenclature and Taxonomy Data Standard Development of data standards to support discovery, comparison, exchange, and integration of biological thematic data sets through the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) and the complementary National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII) is one of the primary areas of emphasis of the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Biological Data Working Group. In November 1998 the Working Group initiated the process to develop a new FGDC data standard for biological nomenclature and taxonomy. Need for a Data Standard: Many biological data sets (e.g., data sets on current and historic distributions of rare species or invasive species within a certain State) include some data on the scientific names (nomenclature) and/or common (vernacular) names and associated classification (taxonomy) of the species and/or higher taxonomic groups (genera, families, etc.) which are the focus of the data set. Biological systematics is a complex and dynamic science and scientific perspectives on nomenclature and classification are in a constant state of flux. Because of this, many species have been assigned two or more different scientific names and associated classifications by different specialists. The application of common names to organisms is even less consistent and thus more complex. The Working Group is developing a new FGDC data standard that can be used to help support exchange and comparison of biological and/or geospatial data sets in the NSDI/NBII data federation. The proposed standard will provide a consistent reference system or database framework for maintaining and representing dynamic, scientifically credible biological taxonomy and nomenclature information. This information can then be used as needed as a consistent reference source for aiding in the discovery, comparison, exchange, and integration of biological and geospatial data sets from many different distributed sources. Individual species names or classifications will

Yellow Starthistle Information download (10 pages 40 kb) Reproduction Flower pollination Seed dispersal dormancy ... allelopathy Biology and Ecology Yellow starthistle is a winter annual widely distributed in the Central Valley and adjacent foothills of California and also common in many other western states. It is currently spreading in mountainous regions of California below 7,000 ft and in the Coast Ranges, but is less commonly encountered in the desert, high mountains and moist coastal sites. Yellow starthistle is typically found in full sunlight and deep, well-drained soils, where annual rainfall is between 10-60 inches. Taxonomy and identification Of the 12 species of Centaurea in California, all are non-native and 9 have purple to white flowers. The three yellow flowered species include Centaurea solstitialis (yellow starthistle), Centaurea melitensis (tocalote, Napa or Malta starthistle), and Centaurea sulphurea (Sicilian starthistle). In addition to having yellow flowers, these three species also have long sharp spines associated with their flowerheads. The Jepson Manual (1993) to the California flora separates the three species by the following key.

Systematics is the study of patterns of diversity in living and fossil organisms. It is the foundation of organismal biology. The theory of evolution, which unifies modern biology, emerged from systematics. Systematists have united globally to state their mission and agenda for the year 2000. The three elements of this mission are to: discover, describe, and inventory global species diversity. analyze and synthesize information derived from this global discovery effort into a predictive classification system that reflects the history of life. organize information from this global program into an efficiently retrievable form that best meets the needs of science and society.

Classifieds Washington Watch: The Evolving Taxonomy of Biological Research May 2003 Robert E. Gropp Thus far, biologists have focused their attention mainly on the committee's attempt to develop a new academic taxonomy. The committee has identified 57 fields in the areas of life sciences, physical and mathematical sciences and engineering, social sciences, and humanities. Biologists have expressed concern about which fields within life sciences would be assessed and ultimately ranked. Their trepidation is based on the impact that previous NRC assessments have had on academic departmental organization: Research universities tend to align their academic units with fields recognized and ranked by NRC. Scott D. Russell, George Lynn Cross Research Professor of Botany at the University of Oklahoma and president of the Botanical Society of America, believes prior changes in research taxonomy have constrained academic disciplines. "The taxonomy has had an eerily predictive relationship in determining departmental alignments and resource allocations. During prior realignments, new departments were formed and organismal [research] diversity decreased as research programs began to focus on a limited number of model organisms, humans being the most conspicuous." Russell thinks past assessments have resulted in insufficient appreciation for "the intrinsic value of diversity in academic disciplines and of organismal diversity."

Visitors Book BIOSYSTEMATICS INTRODUCTION The ARC-PPRI Biosystematics Division comprises four units, namely the South African National Collections of Insects, Arachnids, Nematodes and Fungi, which together form a unique centre for basic and applied taxonomic research in southern Africa. As one of the most comprehensive archives of the region’s biological diversity of arthropods, nematodes and fungi, the specimen collections and associated biological reference sources of the Division form an irreplaceable national asset and an invaluable research tool for scientists working in the fields of agricultural and natural resource management in southern Africa and further afield. Through the development of these biological reference sources, and its research on economically and environmentally important groups of organisms, the Division strives to render comprehensive biosystematic services in support of applied entomology, arachnology, nematology and mycology. The Division is also dedicated to building biosystematic capacity in southern Africa. To this end, the Division functions as the Network Coordinating Institute of Safrinet, a SADC government owned knowledge network that functions under the ambit of BioNET-International.

Scientific classification From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Family (biology) For other uses, see Scientific classification (disambiguation) Scientific classification or biological classification is how biologists group and categorize extinct and living species of organisms . Modern classification has its roots in the system of Carolus Linnaeus , who grouped species according to shared physical characteristics. These groupings have been revised since Linnaeus to improve consistency with the Darwinian principle of common descent Molecular systematics , which uses genomic DNA analysis , has driven many recent revisions and is likely to continue to do so. Scientific classification belongs to the science of taxonomy or biological systematics Contents Early systems Linnaean taxonomy Modern developments Examples ... edit Early systems The earliest known system of classifying forms of life comes from the Greek philosopher Aristotle , who classified animals based on their means of transportation (air, land, or water).
