Species Identification Guides
Taxonomic identification is a key step in studies of biodiversity. For relatively well-known groups, PPBio promotes the production of species identification guides in a colorful format with excellent quality graphics written for a mixed audience, made up of scientists, students, tourists and others. The introductory sections, which occupy much of the content of the books are complete enough to be used by high school students in school projects. These guides are available for free in electronic format.
However, identification can be very time consuming to mega-diverse groups and little studied. For these, it is necessary to work with morphotypes in inventories, to the identification or description of the species. Therefore, the PPBio Portal Amazon offers virtual guides of various taxonomic groups being studied by researchers Program. These guides are preliminary and should not be used for definitive identifications. They are available to stimulate the communication between researchers and experts who can receive the material in the future, and to enhance communication among researchers doing surveys in different areas.
