## Examples - Taxa This page shows examples of how to populate Darwin Core terms for Taxon records. ### Species Checklists #### Taxonomic treatment, normalized Taxon records comprising a single accepted subspecies extracted from Mammal Species of the World, 3rd Edition with its normalised classification hierarchy and synonyms.
