Binomial nomenclature was introduced by C. Linnaeus, who systematically used it in the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae (1759). All the generally accepted zoological and botanical nomenclature in Latin comes from this work—for example, Betula pubescens (white birch), Cervus elaphus (red deer). binomial nomenclaturenomenclature[no´men-kla″chur]lin·nae·an sys·tem of no·men·cla·turebinomial nomenclaturebinomial nomenclatureThe naming convention for living organisms in which each organism is identified by 2 names: genus (e.g., Pneumocystis) and species (e.g., jiroveci).bi·no·mi·al no·men·cla·ture(bī-nō'mē-ăl nō'mĕn-klā'chŭr)binomial nomenclaturein this the FOVEA, an area of acute vision, is of particular importance. Binocular vision results in a stereoscopic or 3-D effect, the slightly different positions of the two eyes being important in that they view the object from slightly different angles.binomial nomenclaturethe basis of the present scientific nomenclature of animals and plants, each of which is given a generic name followed by a specific name, in Greek, Latin or often Latinized English. The generic name invariably has an initial capital letter, and the specific name, even if it is the name of a person, an initial small letter, both names being in italics, or underlined. Thus the robin is named Erithacus rubecula. All scientific names used before the publication of the 10th edition of LINNAEUS'S Systema Naturae (1758) are no longer applicable, and the names given since then have priority by date as a rule, the earliest name for an organism being given preference over others. Often the scientific name is followed by the name of the person allocating the name and the date, e.g. Erithacus rubecula (L.) 1766. L. is an abbreviation for Linnaeus, and the brackets indicate a change from the genus in which he originally placed it; where genera and species are redefined, change of generic name is allowable. The robin was originally named Motacilla rubecula L. 1766. Motacilla is now the genus including wagtails, a group not closely related to robins which were subsequently placed in the genus Erithacus. |
