TSN {{{ID}}}. Integrated Taxonomic Information System.

Purpose and description

This template creates a link to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS), a database containing scientific names of biological taxa.

Use and example

To use the template, you first need to search ITIS to find the taxon's ID number. The example wiki text

{{ITIS|ID=506801|taxon=Camellia sinensis|year=2006|date=16 February}}

creates

Camellia sinensis Camellia sinensis (TSN 506801). Integrated Taxonomic Information System. 16 February Accessed on 16 February 2006.

You can also use this as a TSN reference only by leaving out the taxon name; you may choose this format when you're using this template on second reference. For example:

{{ITIS|ID=506801}}

creates

TSN 506801. Integrated Taxonomic Information System.

Parameters

  • ID: The Taxonomic Serial Number (TSN) of the taxon in ITIS.
  • taxon (Optional): The taxon's name. (Should be included, but in some cases, the taxon's name will be implicit from context.
  • date, year (optional): The date the report was retrieved from ITIS.
