A new taxon can be added by specifying the scientific name (Loxodonta), level (genus), status (valid, invalid or deprecated) and parent taxon (Elephantidae). The field “Name “ has autocompleting function, checking if a taxon exists in the Darwin database.
On the right panel several external services are available for checking a taxon name: WoRMS, FishBase, IPNI, Species.be, CoL, Avibase.
The button “Check taxonomy with GBIF, Worms” will open a taxon checker integrated in Darwin and allowing to check batch set of taxons.
