Lennox taxon (in biology)

Lennox taxon is a classification concept used in biology to group organisms based on shared characteristics, often in the context of evolutionary relationships. It is named after the scientist who proposed it and typically refers to a specific, well-defined group of related species, such as a genus or family. The idea is to organize and understand biodiversity by defining clear boundaries for these groups, reflecting their common ancestry and evolutionary history. Essentially, a Lennox taxon helps scientists communicate about distinct biological groups with clarity, emphasizing their unique traits and evolutionary connections within the broader tree of life.
