The starting point, that is the time from which these codes are in effect (usually retroactively), varies from group to group, and sometimes from rank to rank. [7] In botany and mycology, the starting point is often 1 May 1753 (Linnaeus, Species plantarum).
The ICPN, or PhyloCode, is a code of rules and recommendations for phylogenetic nomenclature. The ICPN only regulates clade names. Names for species rely on the rules of the traditional codes of nomenclature. The Principle of Priority (or "precedence") is claimed for names and for definitions within the ICPN. The starting point for priority was ...
Taxonomic rank is a classification level in biological taxonomy, such as species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, and kingdom.
The International Code of Phylogenetic Nomenclature, known as the PhyloCode for short, is a formal set of rules governing phylogenetic nomenclature. Its current version is specifically designed to regulate the naming of clades , leaving the governance of species names up to the rank-based nomenclature codes ( ICN , ICNCP , ICNP , ICZN , ICVCN ).
Engström et al. [14] suggest and evaluate the use of a taxonomy to bridge the communication between researchers and practitioners engaged in the area of software testing. They have also developed a web-based tool [15] to facilitate and encourage the use of the taxonomy. The tool and its source code are available for public use. [16]
Systematics: "The study of the identification, taxonomy, and nomenclature of organisms, including the classification of living things with regard to their natural relationships and the study of variation and the evolution of taxa". In 1970, Michener et al. defined "systematic biology" and "taxonomy" in relation to one another as follows: [10]
The glossary of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (1999) defines [10] a "taxon, (pl. taxa), n. A taxonomic unit, whether named or not: i.e. a population, or group of populations of organisms which are usually inferred to be phylogenetically related and which have characters in common which differentiate (q.v.) the unit (e.g. a ...
The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) is a widely accepted convention in zoology that rules the formal scientific naming of organisms treated as animals. It is also informally known as the ICZN Code , for its formal author, the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (which shares the acronym "ICZN").
