This chapter asks how biologists keep track of the enormous variety of living things. It sets out why organisms need one agreed scientific name, how binomial names are written, what classification, taxonomy and systematics mean, and how organisms are placed in a ladder of taxonomic categories from species up to kingdom. It is the vocabulary for the rest of the Diversity unit.
Also called: taxonomy · binomial nomenclature · taxonomic hierarchy
