Botanical or fungal families present the termination “aceae”, while zoological families end in “idae”.]]> 2023-01-09 21:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/giora1/nbztqeg3nvntqwya/wish/2438455313 giora1 https://padlet.com/giora1/nbztqeg3nvntqwya/wish/2438463645 It is a taxonomic rank below family that is composed of one (monospecific) or more species, which tend to share many similar characteristics. In Linnaean binomial nomenclature, the genus comprises the first word of the scientific name having the first letter capitalized (sometimes being called the “generic name”), and along with the specific epithet it must be highlighted in some way, either italicized or underlined (if handwritten), for example. ]]> 2023-01-09 21:15:49 UTC https://padlet.com/giora1/nbztqeg3nvntqwya/wish/2438463645 giora1 https://padlet.com/giora1/nbztqeg3nvntqwya/wish/2438468255 The second word of the scientific name of a species in Linnaean binomial nomenclature, composed only by lower case letters, that follows the generic name and distinguishes the species within the genus. It must be italicized or underlined along with the generic name.]]> 2023-01-09 21:20:39 UTC https://padlet.com/giora1/nbztqeg3nvntqwya/wish/2438468255 giora1 https://padlet.com/giora1/nbztqeg3nvntqwya/wish/2438471521 It is the base of a spatial reference system that provides a point with latitude and longitude referencing a given position on the surface of the Earth. Latitude is the coordinate that specifies the north-south position and is given as an angle that ranges from -90° at the south pole to 90° at the north pole, with 0° at the Equator. Longitude specifies the east-west position, ranging from 0° at the Greenwich Meridian to 180° to both sides of the globe, getting minus sign when representing the western hemisphere. ]]> 2023-01-09 21:24:26 UTC https://padlet.com/giora1/nbztqeg3nvntqwya/wish/2438471521 giora1 https://padlet.com/giora1/nbztqeg3nvntqwya/wish/2438473712 2023-01-09 21:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/giora1/nbztqeg3nvntqwya/wish/2438473712 giora1 https://padlet.com/giora1/nbztqeg3nvntqwya/wish/2438476782 2023-01-09 21:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/giora1/nbztqeg3nvntqwya/wish/2438476782 giora1 https://padlet.com/giora1/nbztqeg3nvntqwya/wish/2438478898 2023-01-09 21:32:44 UTC https://padlet.com/giora1/nbztqeg3nvntqwya/wish/2438478898 giora1 https://padlet.com/giora1/nbztqeg3nvntqwya/wish/2438482656
It is an unique acronym assigned for the scientific collections around the world, to easily identify and cite these collections in scholarly publications.

It is a number used to identify a specimen in a given scientific collection (disambiguation), usually started by the collection code. Some biological collections - as ichthyology, for example - use to host a batch of specimens that present the same locality, date and collector under the same catalog number.

Designation of an epitype is not effected unless the holotype, lectotype, or neotype that the epitype supports is explicitly cited.
These types may also present duplicates that are deposited in different scientific collections as an attempt to preserve original materials and prevent their loss in case something happens to a given scientific collection. The duplicates are designated by an “iso-” prefix in the name of the types, e.g. isosyntype, isolectotype, isoneotype, and isoepitype.]]> 2023-01-09 21:51:17 UTC https://padlet.com/giora1/nbztqeg3nvntqwya/wish/2438493787 giora1 https://padlet.com/giora1/nbztqeg3nvntqwya/wish/2438496152
