	Species - FreeEncyclopedia
		Species is a taxonomic concept used in biology to refer to a population of organisms that are in some important ways similar.
		Moreover, boundaries between species are often fuzzy: there are examples where members of one population can produce fertile offspring with a second population, and members of the second population can produce fertile offspring with members of a third population, but members of the first and third population cannot produces fertile offspring.
		This is common in parasites: Xenos vesparum, Anaticola phoenicopteri.

		Common names are those names used by different human cultures and societies for the species of animals and plants where humans and biota reside together.
		Often-times common names are lacking for Neotropical frogs or are broad in scope.
		For example, indigenous people may have a single name for frogs that occur on the ground and another name for frogs that occur in shrubs and trees, even though there are many species of ground frogs called by the same name as well as for the tree frogs.

	Common names
		Common names are automatically shown for the named genus, species and variety.
		The common names are displayed in a short list with a special pop-up window for adding, removing, and changing entries.
		To import common names that are from non-English speaking countries you can place the name of the country of origin within parentheses after the common name.

		from a vernacular name (e.g., Picea Omorika - the Balkan name for spruce), or
		Furthermore, if a trademark name is used in international registers or printed matter as a cultivar name, the name becomes generic and losses the protection status for the inventor (breeder).
		In this case, the cultivar name is sometimes considered a "nonsense" name in that it is rarely used in commerce.

	About Common Names
		Common names such as blue crab, redfish, and dolphin are successfully used in casual communication, and convey an immediate idea of what a particular animal or plant looks like.
		Scientists avoid using common names because they are often not specific to a particular species.
		The first word of the binomial is the genus name of the species, and the second word is the specific epithet for the species.

	Common name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In science, a common name is any name by which a species or other concept is known that is not the official scientific name.
		Names like "sardine" or "deer" can apply to dozens of different species worldwide, though those names are perfectly adequate in their original domains of use, (fishing and hunting), in localities where only one such species is known to exist or is likely to be caught.
		For example Cranesbill is the common name for the genus Geranium, while the common name Geranium refers to species of the South African genus Pelargonium.

		The genus and species names are underlined or italicized.
		When species from two different genera are crossed we make up bi-generic names consisting of the parents generic name and a common name (not a species name).
		The common name differs from the scientific name in that they are capitalized, and not based on Greek or Latin.

	Scientific and common names
		The scientific name of a species is governed by internationally accepted rules that determine what the name is and insure that each species has only one.
		Each scientific name of a species is two words (a binomen)—the first is the name of the genus to which the species is assigned, the second is the specific name.
		One reason is that the classification of insect species is continually being refined and improved, and whenever a species is assigned to a new or different genus, its scientific name changes.

	ZO 402 Guide to Scientific Names
		The author's name is supposed to be attached to the species name in every scientific publication the first time it is used, in the text or a table, but this rule is often ignored in non-taxonomic articles.
		Notice that, when the species was moved to a new genus, the ending of the specific epithet had to change to match the gender of the new genus name, because the epithet is treated like an adjective in Latin and must agreed with the modified noun in gender.
		In rare cases, the scientific name and common name for a genus are the same.

	Endangered, threatened & special concern species: Minnesota DNR
		A species is considered a species of special concern if, although the species is not endangered or threatened, it is extremely uncommon in Minnesota, or has unique or highly specific habitat requirements and deserves careful monitoring of its status.
		Species on the periphery of their range that are not listed as threatened may be included in this category along with those species that were once threatened or endangered but now have increasing or protected, stable populations.
		Species of special concern are not protected by Minnesota's Endangered Species Statute or the associated Rules.

	Bumblebees Frequently Asked Questions about species and names
		However we cannot be sure that every species has been found, or that none of the species that have been described have since gone extinct, or that a species described and named in one country is not the same as one described and given a different name in another country.
		Taxonomy is an on-going process, new species are found, old species go extinct, on close examination one existing species is found to be two, or more slightly different species, or two previously separate species are found to be actually just one.
		A cuckoo bumblebee, like the bird it is named after, lays its eggs in another bumblebee’s nest and leaves the workers of that nest to rear the young.

		The second name is the SPECIES name: i.e.: borleyi, almost always a Latin or Greek one, and then written in italics WITHOUT a capital letter at the beginning.
		Binomial (genus/species) names are followed by the name(s) of the describer(s) and by the year of publication of the scientifc description.
		The species name follows the “sex” of the latin GENUS name, such as (“male name”) Astronotus ocellatus or (“female name”) Rineloricaria parva.

	Species Names
		Therefore, you may see a species name written in a number of different fonts, but always that font should differ from the font used for the rest of the words on the paper.
		Sometimes the name or abbreviation of the biologist (called the authority) who named the organism follows the species name.
		Note that the species name (both words) and the variety name are written in the same font.

	Wildflower Botanical Names
		Common names are wonderful, and fine in your own garden, but when you order a plant or read about one, you’ll find just using the common name doesn’t work very well.
		The first names the group or the “genus” and the second describes a single individual plant within the group, or a “species.” Centuries ago, when the system was devised, Latin was chosen since it is a language understood worldwide.
		The species name is an adjective since it is used to describe a characteristic that separates the plant from other members of the group.

	Common Names
		The use of common names or local names for fishes is the largest source of confusion and misidentification of species that perhaps the fish world has ever known.
		The main problem with common names is that there are so many different variants of Anemonefish species, particularly in colour, that one member of say Amphiprion melanopus will be called 'Orange' in one area, 'Black and Red' in another, or 'Blue Striped' in yet another, and yet all these fish are the same species.
		Because of this I prefer to use the scientific names and don't use the common names at all.

	List of Latin and Greek words commonly used in systematic names - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When a species is named thus in honour of a person, the person's name is converted in accordance with established rules into a 'Latinised' form, most typically by the appending of a Latin genitive ending.
		Even though such species descriptors are derived from the proper names of persons, they are still written beginning with a small letter, in conformity with the conventions for naming species.
		Examples of organisms named after persons other than scientists working in the field are Mirolabrichthys imeldae (a species of Anthiid coral reef fish named after Imelda Marcos) and Tanichthys albonubes (another fish species, the generic name Tanichthys translating as "Tan's Fish", after the Chinese boy who brought the fish to the attention of collectors).

	Commonly Used Descriptive Botanical Names
		The advantage is that common names ascribed to plants - which are easier to remember - cause much confusion when used to refer to several different plants.
		The species, an adjective, often refers to a place, the plant's characteristics/appearance, or the name of the person credited with discovering it Species are botanically classified by analysis of the flower parts and characteristics for flowering plants, and by the seed/cone for coniferous and other non-flowering plants.
		When the genus and species are written together, the first letter of the noun genus is capitalized and the species is in all lower case but both are italicized.

		As someone brought up in a country where the botanical names of plants are always listed alongside their common names, even in children's reference books, it came as a big surprise to me when I got on the internet to find gardeners in the US using common names for the plants in their gardens.
		And your common name might not be the common name used in another part of your own country.
		Come to that, your common name might be peculiar to your own family.
