species identification
Determining creature type
Species identification is the process of determining what species an organism belongs to.
In biology, it relies on physical characteristics, genetic analysis, or behavioral traits: The field guide helps with species identification of local birds.
Wildlife management, conservation, and forensic science all depend on accurate species identification to track populations, enforce protections, or analyze biological evidence.
