\begin{enumerate}
  \item \textbf{Multimodal fusion}: Combining visual features with audio
    and eDNA sequence embeddings for visually cryptic species.
  \item \textbf{Continual meta-learning}: Adapting as new species are
    described without catastrophic forgetting.
  \item \textbf{Federated training}: Training on distributed citizen
    science data without centralizing raw images, governed by Zoo DAO.
  \item \textbf{Zero-shot identification}: Leveraging taxonomic
    descriptions and field guide text via vision-language models.
  \item \textbf{Decentralized inference}: Deploying TaxoNet on edge
    devices and the Zoo decentralized compute network.
\end{enumerate}
