Species discovery is the field of biology that focuses on identifying and describing new species of organisms. This process involves conducting field surveys, collecting specimens, analyzing genetic data, and comparing physical characteristics to determine if a newly discovered organism is distinct enough to be classified as a new species. Species discovery is important for understanding biodiversity, conservation, and evolutionary relationships among organisms. This research area plays a critical role in expanding our knowledge of the natural world and has led to the discovery of countless new species in recent years.
