Biological nomenclature

system of identifying species of organisms using a two-part name

science of naming, defining and classifying organisms

in biology, level in a taxonomic hierarchy

term to indicate an uncertain taxonomic position

name generally used for a taxon, group of taxa or organism(s)

names for taxa below the rank of species; these names have three parts; the usage is different in zoology and botany

rank-based taxonomy, sometimes (wrongly) ascribed to Linnaeus

In the scientific naming of organisms, a basionym or basyonym is the original name on which a new name is based; the author citation of the new name should include the authors of the basionym in parentheses. The term "basionym" is used in both botany and zoology. In zoology, alternate terms such as original combination or protonym are sometimes used instead. Bacteriology uses a similar term, basonym, spelled without an i.

organization

A tautonym is a scientific name of a species in which both parts of the name have the same spelling, such as Rattus rattus. The first part of the name is the name of the genus and the second part is referred to as the specific epithet in the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants and the specific name in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.
