Abbreviation

An abbreviation (from Latin, meaning "short") is a shortened form of a word or phrase, by any method including shortening, contraction, initialism (which includes acronym) or crasis.

See Undescribed taxon and Abbreviation

Academic publishing

Academic publishing is the subfield of publishing which distributes academic research and scholarship.

See Undescribed taxon and Academic publishing

In botanical nomenclature, author citation is the way of citing the person or group of people who validly published a botanical name, i.e. who first published the name while fulfilling the formal requirements as specified by the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN).

See Undescribed taxon and Author citation (botany)

Bacteriology

Bacteriology is the branch and specialty of biology that studies the morphology, ecology, genetics and biochemistry of bacteria as well as many other aspects related to them.

See Undescribed taxon and Bacteriology

Binomial nomenclature

In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), also called binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages.

See Undescribed taxon and Binomial nomenclature

Biological specimen

A biological specimen (also called a biospecimen) is a biological laboratory specimen held by a biorepository for research.

See Undescribed taxon and Biological specimen

Botanical name

A botanical name is a formal scientific name conforming to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN) and, if it concerns a plant cultigen, the additional cultivar or Group epithets must conform to the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP).

See Undescribed taxon and Botanical name

Candidatus

In prokaryote nomenclature, Candidatus (abbreviated Ca.; Latin for "candidate of Roman office") is used to name prokaryotic taxa that are well characterized but yet-uncultured.

See Undescribed taxon and Candidatus

Correct name

In botany, the correct name according to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN) is the one and only botanical name that is to be used for a particular taxon, when that taxon has a particular circumscription, position and rank.

See Undescribed taxon and Correct name

Eastern Australian sawshark

The Eastern Australian sawshark, Pristiophorus peroniensis, is a sawshark of the family Pristiophoridae, found off southeastern mainland Australia at depths of between 100 and 630 m. Its length is up to 1.36 m. Prior to its description in 2008, this species was known as Pristiophorus sp.

Flowering plant

Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae, commonly called angiosperms.

Glossary of scientific naming

This is a list of terms and symbols used in scientific names for organisms, and in describing the names.

Herbarium

A herbarium (plural: herbaria) is a collection of preserved plant specimens and associated data used for scientific study.

See Undescribed taxon and Herbarium

International Plant Names Index

The International Plant Names Index (IPNI) describes itself as "a database of the names and associated basic bibliographical details of seed plants, ferns and lycophytes." Coverage of plant names is best at the rank of species and genus.

Jargon

Jargon or technical language is the specialized terminology associated with a particular field or area of activity.

Latin

Latin (lingua Latina,, or Latinum) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages.

Nomen illegitimum

Nomen illegitimum (Latin for illegitimate name) is a technical term used mainly in botany.

See Undescribed taxon and Nomen illegitimum

Nomen nudum

In taxonomy, a nomen nudum ('naked name'; plural nomina nuda) is a designation which looks exactly like a scientific name of an organism, and may have originally been intended to be one, but it has not been published with an adequate description.

See Undescribed taxon and Nomen nudum

Nomenclature codes

Nomenclature codes or codes of nomenclature are the various rulebooks that govern the naming of living organisms.

Polyscias

Polyscias is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araliaceae.

See Undescribed taxon and Polyscias

Pristiophorus

Pristiophorus is a genus of sawsharks found in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans.

Scientific literature

Scientific literature encompasses a vast body of academic papers that spans various disciplines within the natural and social sciences.

Sensu

Sensu is a Latin word meaning "in the sense of".

Species

A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.

See Undescribed taxon and Species

Species description

A species description is a formal scientific description of a newly encountered species, typically articulated through a scientific publication. Undescribed taxon and species description are biological descriptions.

See Undescribed taxon and Species description

Taxon

In biology, a taxon (back-formation from taxonomy;: taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit.

See Undescribed taxon and Taxon

Taxonomic rank

In biology, taxonomic rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in an ancestral or hereditary hierarchy.

See Undescribed taxon and Taxonomic rank

Taxonomy (biology)

In biology, taxonomy is the scientific study of naming, defining (circumscribing) and classifying groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics.

See Undescribed taxon and Taxonomy (biology)

Tropical sawshark

The tropical sawshark, Pristiophorus delicatus, is a recently described species of sawshark, family Pristiophoridae, formerly known in literature as Pristiophorus sp.
