Biological_classification [classification_identity]
This frame has to do with scientific taxonomy. The lexical units in this frame include the seven major classifications in which organisms are grouped based on common biological characteristics. These classifications are labeled Rank in this frame. The Members or Subtype of the Rank is often expressed with the use of the target-denoting noun.
[Phylum|target] Arthropoda|Sub contains crustaceans, insects, spiders and other creepy-crawlies|Mem.
The snow leopard|Mem belongs to the [kingdom|target] Animalia|Sub.
