Deutsch: Gattung (Biologie) / Español: Gênero (biología) / Português: Gênero (biologia) / Français: Genre (biologie) / Italiano: Genere (tassonomia)
In biology, a genus (plural: genera) is a low-level taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms, which is an example of definition by genus and differentia. Genera and higher taxonomic levels such as families are used in biodiversity studies, particularly in fossil studies since species cannot always be confidently identified and genera and families typically have longer stratigraphic ranges than species.
