Taxonomy Module
The Taxonomy module of KE EMu holds information about taxa. Taxa can be recorded at any level, from as broad as Kingdom to as narrow as sub-specific levels such as Form and Variety. It records information about the authors of the name, the protologue, basionyms, synonyms, common names, and images.
Quick guide to entering a new Taxonomy record
For users that just need to quickly add a new scientific name to EMu, use the Taxonomy Quick Entry Guide.

Geog. Status: Details of any geographical area related to the taxon (links to gazetteer module).
Common Names: Lists common names for the taxon, as well as informal names
Descriptions: Lists any descriptions about the taxon. Before entering descriptions here, please refer to the Mongraphs module first.
