Untertaxonomien
Untertaxonomien, also known as infrataxonomies, are subdivisions of a higher-level taxonomic rank. They are used in biological classification to provide a more detailed and specific categorization of organisms beyond the traditional ranks of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. These subdivisions can be applied at various levels of the taxonomic hierarchy, depending on the needs of the classification system and the diversity of the organisms being studied.
