Alpha taxonomy

Alpha taxonomy is the scientific process of identifying, describing, and classifying living organisms into groups based on shared characteristics. It involves naming new species, organizing them into hierarchical categories like genus and family, and documenting their features to distinguish them from other species. This systematic approach helps scientists communicate accurately about biodiversity, understand evolutionary relationships, and track changes in species over time. Essentially, alpha taxonomy provides the foundational framework for organizing the vast diversity of life on Earth into a structured, universally recognized classification system.
