Topic: Meles (genus)


In the News (Tue 22 Dec 09)

  
  ADW: What is in a Scientific Name?
The generic epithet is the name of the genus (singular of genera) to which bluegill sunfish belong, the genus Lepomis.
The genus is the first level of taxonomic organization, in a way, because all species that are thought to be most closely related, are placed together in a genus.
An example are "badgers." There are various animals worldwide that are superficially similar, honey badgers (Mellivora capensis), North American badgers (Taxidea taxus), Eurasian badgers (Meles meles), stink badgers (Mydaus javanensis), and ferret badgers (Melogale personata).
