Taxon pages Scratchpad taxon pages provide a mechanism for users to dynamically construct and curate pages of information about any taxon selected from the site’s biological taxonomy. These pages use taxonomic names as a search term to integrate tagged content in a Scratchpad with third party content external to the site. This third party content draws upon a variety of external data sources (e.g. Biodiversity Heritage Library, flickr, GBIF and NCBI Genbank), which have suitable APIs that support this type of integration.
