Leadership and team cards, board and founding prose, an AI persona modelled on a
named individual, contributor and partner entries, and personal correspondence
addresses all named one person. The organisation carries them now.

Other people keep their names. Where a card, a board list or a founding line
named someone else alongside, they stay exactly as they were; only the one entry
was removed, and prose that listed two names now reads with one.

Sample and fixture data uses the placeholder name these tests already use
elsewhere, so the IAM username defect the notes describe still reads as written.
The zoo/yapp MIT notice names the foundation that publishes it.

\section{Conclusion}
\label{sec:conclusion}
% ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
We have presented TaxoNet, a taxonomy-aware few-shot visual recognition
system for biodiversity monitoring. By incorporating biological
classification structure into meta-learning through taxonomic prototypical
networks and rank-attention fusion, TaxoNet achieves state-of-the-art
few-shot accuracy across four major taxonomic groups. Integration with
geographic and phenological priors further boosts practical field
identification to 94.7\% accuracy. Through Zoo Labs Foundation's
commitment to open science, TaxoNet's models, benchmarks, and deployment
infrastructure are freely available to the conservation community.
