This website is intended as a cybercommunity for authors, reviewers and editors (and other taxonomists) where they can share information and files, exchange ideas, collaborate with each other on taxonomic research. It is hoped that this cybercommunity can be a basis for a formal international society. It is intended as a tool and to provide service and support to the journal Zootaxa and the international society that is be to named and developed.
Main contributors are editors and authors of Zootaxa. This will expand to a broad spectrum of zoological taxonomists in the world.
