How to add a Taxonomy record

In this example we add a Taxonomic record for (zoological) species Aus bus. We want EMu to auto-generate the scientific name based on the appropriate set of rules (ICZNClosed International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. in this case).

Note: Only fields relevant to this example are considered. See Taxonomy module: Tabs for detail about each tab.

To begin:

  1. Create a new record in the Taxonomy module:

    Classification

    Typically, you will find default values in:

    • Applicable Code: (Controls)
    • Automatic?: (Scientific Name)
    • Hybrid?: (Hybrid & Parentage)
    • Currently Accepted?: (Currently Accepted Name)

The Classification group of fields provides two methods for recording a name's position in the taxonomic hierarchy:

Next we complete the Citation details and Author details. The name of the Author of the scientific name (the Name AuthorClosed The author responsible for writing the formal description of a species (i.e. specifying a Taxonomic classification for the species).) is included in the scientific name of the species.

If the author of the Primary CitationClosed In Taxonomy, the paper / article that first proposes (specifies) the scientific name for a species. In Botany this paper is known as the Protologue. is the same as the name author, enter details of the citation on the Citations & Primary Citation tabs:

If the author of the Primary CitationClosed In Taxonomy, the paper / article that first proposes (specifies) the scientific name for a species. In Botany this paper is known as the Protologue. is not the same as the name author, add the name author's details on the Authors tab:
