Section (biology)
In biology a section () is a taxonomic rank that is applied differently in botany and zoology. In botany. Within flora (plants), 'section' refers to a "botanical" rank below the genus, but above the species: In zoology. Within fauna (animals), 'section' refers to a "zoological" rank below the order, but above the family: In bacteriology. The International Code of Nomenclature for Bacteria states that the Section rank is an informal one, between the subgenus and species (as in botany).
