The Taxonomy Research & Information Network

Welcome!

The National Taxonomy Research & Information Network (TRIN) aims to enhance and accelerate taxonomic research and delivery of information on Australia's biodiversity, with broad goals to:

  • Reinvigorate taxonomy in Australia
  • Evaluate and road test new methodologies for research and delivery of taxonomic information for a wide range of end users
  • Create and maintain a modern collaborative national electronic framework for taxonomic knowledge exchange.

This Wiki is intended to provide a medium for Network researchers to collaborate with each other and with researchers all over the world.

From here you can visit the resources for each project group:

Others users of the Taxonomy Research & Information Network wiki can be found at Main.TWikiUsers

Links to other taxonomic projects and resources on the web

There are many resources available on the internet relevant to the TRIN. This page will take you to a developing, categorised list of these resources.

Requests, Queries or Complaints?

Please send all queries, complaints and requests regarding the trin wiki to trin.wiki@taxonomy.org.au

How to use the Wiki

The following links provide guidelines for editing and resources to help you get started editing existing pages, creating new pages etc.

General Discussion

General discussion of the TRIN, its scope, objectives, operation, products, resources and overall progress and impact.

Management

Taxonomy Network management and governance matters.

Communication and Knowledge Exchange

Knowledge brokers and researchers collaborating with key user groups to develop suitable taxonomic products and services, enabling broad adoption and application in environmental management and decision-making.

Ants

Morphology and molecular analysis contributing to research on the ant genera Camponotus, Iridomyrmex and Monomorium.

Aquatic Macroinvertebrates

Barcoding technologies and morphological research on Mayflies and other aquatic macroinvertebrates which are widely used for monitoring freshwater quality.

Insect Family Key

Identification tools for Australia's insect families provided on the web; many of these are being developed as user friendly interactive keys.

Mangrove Communities

Documentation of plant, animal and fungi species level biodiversity of mangrove and salt march communities of the Australian region.

Small Terrestrial Vertebrates

Molecular and morphological analyses to rapidly resolve the taxonomy of various small terrestrial Australian mammals, reptiles and amphibians.

Systematics of Environmental Weeds

Research on environmental weeds of national significance for which there is a taxonomic impediment to developing appropriate control strategies.

Taxonomy Hub Research Information Systems (HubRIS)

Information managers working with taxonomists and the biological collections to develop effective and productive processes to capture, manage, analyse and deliver biodiversity information.

Documentation of the Taxonomic Process

Phases and tasks in the taxonomic process and associated work flow are being analysed and documented. The goal of the exercise is to develop an operational framework for taxonomy focussing on aspects where information management technology can assist the process. Managed as part of the Hub Research information Systems Project, this project is working in collaboration with all other taxonomy research projects.

To Participate

TRIN welcomes groups wishing to initiate new collaborative taxonomy research projects, of who wish to use the on-line collaboration and communcation tools of the Taxonomy Hub (website, wiki, email lists, etc.).
