gti_abctaxa - Aims<p><em>Abc Taxa</em> aims to accelerate taxonomic capacity building by clearing existing taxonomic know-how. Therefore each volume strives to provide a detailed state of the art needed to embark on the taxonomy of a particular living taxon. As such, each manuscript should at least include the following, preferably didactically illustrated, sections:</p>
<ul>
<li>an introduction to the general biology of the taxon;</li>
<li>a description of the collecting methodologies commonly used for the taxon;</li>
<li>a description of the curatorial methodologies commonly used for the taxon;</li>
<li>a description of the characters employed in the taxonomy of the group;</li>
<li>an outline of the current classification of the taxon;</li>
<li>a guide to the identification of the members of the taxon in the region under study;</li>
<li>a list of key-references.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Abc Taxa</em> can be considered at any hierarchical level above the species. Both regional accounts and global treatises are deemed suitable for publication.</p>
<p>Further, as capacity building in taxonomic research does not stop with taxonomy <em>sensu stricto</em>, but also dwells on good practices, manuscripts dealing with related, more applied topics, relevant to taxonomic research will also be considered (<em>e.g.</em> nature photography, sampling techniques, databasing, ...).</p>2020-07-16T10:04:44Ztag:www.abctaxa.be,2020-07-16:/aimshttp://www.abctaxa.be/misc_/CHM2/Site.gifNFP-GTIgti_abctaxa
