Taxon (Organisms 🐞)

In biology, a taxon is a group of one or more populations of an organism, or organisms, as seen by taxonomists to form a biological unit;. Although neither is required, a taxon, once its description has become established, is usually known by a particular name and is given a particular ranking. It is not uncommon, however, for taxonomists ...

"Since 2004, Brooklyn-based artist Rachel Sussman has been traveling the globe in search of continuously living organisms that are at least two thousand years old, which she photographs and chronicles in her series, "The Oldest Living Things in the World". Shown here are 2,000-3,000 year old stromalites in Western Australia; 5,500 year old Antarctic moss; and a 9,550 year old spruce gran picea tree in Sweden. See "The Oldest Living Things in the World" by Rachel Sussman (@_sussman_) on display pre-security in Terminal 3. http://bit.ly/2qWJSTC" This was posted to our Instagram account on May 06, 2018 – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/instagram/1763558733/

Fauna (Organisms 🐞)

The Fauna is the whole of animal life present in a particular region or time. The corresponding terms for plants and fungi are flora and funga, respectively. Flora, fauna, funga and other forms of life are collectively referred to as biota. Zoologists and paleontologists use fauna to refer to a typical collection of animals found in a specific time or place, e.g. the "Sonoran Desert...

Organism (Organisms 🐞)

An organism is any living thing that functions as an individual. Such a definition raises more problems than it solves, not least because the concept of an individual is also difficult. Several criteria, few of which are widely accepted, have been proposed to define what constitutes an organism. Among the most common is that an organism has autonomous reproduction, g...

#Decomposing #deadwood is a #biodiversityhotspot; many small #organisms are either direct #decomposers or closely ecologically related to these primary decomposers. This #riparianforest in Saarland, #Germany, remains partly uncontrolled and is thus full of deadwood in different stages of decomposition. The authors T. Löfroth et al. (2023) studied #factors such as #globalwarming negatively affecting deadwood #ecosystems.

Flora (Organisms 🐞)

Flora is all the plant life present in a particular region or time, generally the naturally occurring native plants. The corresponding term for animals is fauna, and for fungi, it is funga. Sometimes bacteria and fungi are also referred to as flora as in the terms gut flora or skin flora for purposes of specificity.

”Russell and Whitehead’s struggles in Principia Mathematica illustrate the impossibility of grounding the whole edifice [of mathematics] in a final logical foundation. Mathematics evolves through paradox, revision, and imaginative leaps. The same is true of biological form. Organisms do not unfold according to rigid templates; they dip into a structured but evolving open field of potential, actualizing new patterns through their own activity.”

#KnowledgeByte: #Model #Organisms are biological species that are widely studied to understand basic biological processes. These organisms are chosen because they have certain characteristics that make them particularly suitable for scientific investigation,

They are usually organisms that are easy to maintain and breed in a laboratory setting.
