Biological Classification Diagram

Original - The hierarchy of biological classification's major eight taxonomic ranks

Reason

Extremely simple, but well-developed and -used diagram of the eight major taxonomic ranks in the currently accepted (for the most part) biological classification system. It is the basis of Template:Biological classification, which allows it to be clickable (I don't do much coding, so my description is quite that of a layman). Check it out here and see what I mean. Bonus: it's svg.

Articles this image appears in

Basis of Template:Biological classification, which is used in the respective articles of each of the taxonomic ranks, in addition to Life, Paleontology, Taxon, etc. See image page for complete list.

Y Added to Species in March 2007; added to Life in May 2007; I could go on, but I think that qualifies. ~ ωαdεstεr16_♣T^C♣ 03:30, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

• Weak Support Kind of seems upside down. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:22, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
  • (I know this is a bit late but) the flipped version can be found at File:Biological classification L Pengo vflip.svg. I've added made it more discoverable now too. —Pengo 23:37, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
• Weak support per Noodle snacks. I like that it is an SVG. J Milburn (talk) 19:15, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
• Support - I don't see it as upside down, as this represents a branch of the life tree -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:02, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Hierarchies are usually shown from top to bottom though, and this is reflected in the taxobox for pretty much everything. Noodle snacks (talk) 22:28, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
