Integrative taxonomy is a modern approach to identifying and classifying species. It combines multiple lines of evidence, including morphology and genetics, for species delineation and description. Here, we aim to resolve complex species boundaries to reveal hidden diversity that traditional methods might miss, thus creating a clearer and more reliable picture of biodiversity.

Understanding biodiversity begins with recognising and describing the organisms that make up our natural world. Through examining specimens, comparing traits, and evaluating variation within and among individuals and populations, distinct species can be determined. This process establishes the baseline information needed for broader biological research.

Data mobilisation involves locating, digitising, standardising, and sharing biodiversity data to make it accessible for research. By improving data availability and consistency, it provides foundational information that supports ecological, evolutionary, and conservation studies.
