Superseded Combination
In taxonomy a superseded combination is a notice of change to the binomial nomenclature of the accepted name of a species. This happens when a species is moved to a new genus after the initial species description. The original name is called a superseded combination, and the new name is called the new combination, or . Some, but not all superseded combinations are basionyms, but some basionyms are not superseded combinations. The superseded combination is not the same as a Synonym (taxonomy), synonym and technically should not be called one. If the species is moved again to a third genus, both of the older names are considered superseded combinations. The original name is the superseded original combination and the second name is the superseded recombination. If the species were moved back to a previous genus, the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature would not consider the current name to be a new combination. The specific epithet is kept in all these name ch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fire Worm (Chloeia Flava) - Makawide, Lembeh Strait, Sulawesi, Indonesia (cropped)
Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material (the fuel) in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction Product (chemistry), products. At a certain point in the combustion reaction, called the ignition point, flames are produced. The ''flame'' is the visible portion of the fire. Flames consist primarily of carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen and nitrogen. If hot enough, the gases may become ionized to produce Plasma (physics), plasma. Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire's Intensity (heat transfer), intensity will be different. Fire in its most common form can result in conflagration, which has the potential to cause physical damage through burning. Fire is an important process that affects ecological systems around the globe. The positive effects of fire include stimulating growth and maintaining various ecological systems. Its negative effects include hazard to life and pr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
