'''Binomial nomenclature'''; also known as '''binomial designation''', ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Lovecraft Invasion (audio story)|The Lovecraft Invasion]]'') '''scientific name''', ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cold Fusion (novel)|Cold Fusion]]'') or '''[[Latin]] name'''; ([[PROSE]]: ''[[T. memeticus: A Morphology (short story)|T. memeticus: A Morphology]]'') was a system of naming [[organism]]s with a formal name of two terms: [[genus]] and [[species]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Menagerie (novel)|The Menagerie]]'') [[Subspecies]] were given a third term. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Pirate Loop (novel)|The Pirate Loop]]'')
'''Binomial nomenclature''' was a system of naming organisms in which each species received a formal name of two terms. For example, the [[Ilin Island cloudrunner]] was ''Crateromys paulus''; the [[Tasmanian tiger]] was ''Thylacinus cynocephalus''; the [[Time Lord]] was ''Dominus temporis''. That system was notably used in ''[[The I-Spyder Book of Earth Creatures]]''. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Last Dodo]]'')

Binomial nomenclature

Binomial nomenclature; also known as binomial designation, (AUDIO: The Lovecraft Invasion) scientific name, (PROSE: Cold Fusion) or Latin name; (PROSE: T. memeticus: A Morphology) was a system of naming organisms with a formal name of two terms: genus and species. (PROSE: The Menagerie) Subspecies were given a third term. (PROSE: The Pirate Loop)

Earth species[[edit] | [edit source]]
