taxon

"I think our work highlights why and how biologists can bring their human biases to all aspects of biology, which should be of concern for biologists, regardless of their study taxa, moving forward."

They add that knowledge of horizontal transfer mechanisms and putative donor taxa might help to design future intercropping strategies that minimize the risk of transfer of effector genes between closely related Fusarium taxa.

Next, they attributed these to ancient taxa based on their size, shape, and contents.

"Our study shows that even for a highly adaptable taxon like octopuses, they may not be able to survive future ocean changes."

When examining changes by taxon, over 95% of bird and insect species were predicted to experience a change in the number of cities they occupy.
