Evolution of the theory of nomenclature, interpretation and application of code (Stability, priority, first revisor principle, range of authority of code, concept of availability, type method, formation of specific names, brief concept of cladistics
Evolution of the Theory of Nomenclature: 1. Pre-Linnaean Period: • Naming conventions were often based on descriptive terms, often in Latin, to describe the characteristics of organisms. • Lack of standardized rules led to confusion and redundancy in naming. 2.
Taxonomic collection and identification, definition of synonym, homonym, keys
1. Taxonomic Collection: • The systematic collection of specimens from the natural world for the purpose of scientific study, classification, and identification. • Collections often include preserved specimens, such as plants, animals, or fossils, along with detailed documentation of their
