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.

#Pseudoscorpions are #interesting and #biologically diverse #arachnids that are often overlooked due to their #smallsize. Many species are #grounddwellers or live in deadwood. The largest #taxon is the #Chernetidae, with approximately 726 extant #species. L. Laibe et al. (2025) described a new species of its genus #Attaleachernes from the eastern #Amazon region and also characterized the #habitat.
