Biodiversity

Taxonomic research at the Senckenberg Institute and the Leibniz Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity Science – In biology, taxonomy is the scientific study of naming, defining and classifying groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics. The system of modern biological classification is intended to reflect the evolutionary relationships among organisms, both living and extinct.
