A taxonomic subdivision larger than a kingdom (6)

I believe the answer is:

domain

(Other definitions for domain that I've seen before include "Range of influence or field of thought" , "Sphere of activity" , "Realm or range of influence" , "Territory over which someone reigns" , "Range of influence or field of activity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
