Preoccupied Name

	Preoccupied Name In biology, a homonym is a name for a taxon that is identical in spelling to another such name, that belongs to a different taxon. The rule in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature is that the first such name to be published is the senior homonym and is to be used (it is " valid"); any others are junior homonyms and must be replaced with new names. It is, however, possible that if a senior homonym is archaic, and not in "prevailing usage," it may be declared a ''nomen oblitum'' and rendered unavailable, while the junior homonym is preserved as a ''nomen protectum''. :For example: :Cuvier proposed the genus ''Echidna'' in 1797 for the spiny anteater. :However, Forster had already published the name ''Echidna'' in 1777 for a genus of moray eels. :Forster's use thus has priority, with Cuvier's being a junior homonym. :Illiger published the replacement name ''Tachyglossus'' in 1811. Similarly, the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (IC ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Taxon In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; plural taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion. If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were set forth in Carl Linnaeus's Linnaean taxonomy, system in ''Systema Naturae'', 10th edition (1758), as well as an unpublished work by Bernard de Jussieu, Bernard and Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. The idea of a unit-based system of biological classification was first mad ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Centropogon (fish) ''Centropogon'' is a genus of ray-finned fishes, waspfishes belonging to the subfamily Tetraroginae, which is classified as part of the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes and their relatives. These fishes are endemic to the brackish and marine waters around Australia. Taxonomy ''Centropogon'' was first described as a genus of fishes in 1860 by the German-born British ichthyologist Albert Günther. The genus was created for ''Apistus australis'', which had originally been described as ''Cottus australis'' in 1790 by George Shaw in John White's ''Journal of a voyage to New South Wales''. The genus is included in the subfamily Tetraroginae within the Scorpaenidae in the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' however other authorities place that subfamily within the stonefish family Synanceiidae, while other authorities classify this subfamily as a family in its own right. The genus name is a compound of ''kentron'', meaning a "thorn" or "spine", and "pogon", which means "b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan o ... is 21–28 mm. The forewings are shiny grey, with silvery or whitish shading in the median area. The subterminal line is heavy and almost straight near the costa and the basal patch is white. The reniform spot is obscure and the postmedial line is sinuate. Adults are on wing from April to September in up to three generations per year in the south.

picture info	Asterina Gibbosa ''Asterina gibbosa'', commonly known as the starlet cushion star, is a species of starfish in the family Asterinidae. It is native to the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Description ''Asterina gibbosa'' is a pentagonal starfish with short blunt arms and an inflated appearance. The aboral (upper) surface is clothed in groups of short, blunt spines. This starfish grows to a diameter of about and may be brown, green or orange. It is sometimes blotched with colour and individuals from deeper sea locations tend to be paler in colour. It can be distinguished from the closely related ''Asterina phylactica'' by the fact that it has two small spines on each of the plates surrounding its mouth, ''A. phylactica'' having no spines on these plates and having a plain olive-green aboral surface with a brown central star. ''A. gibbosa'', at is considerably bigger than ''A. phylactica'' which seldom exceeds . At one time the two were believed to be the same ...

picture info	Plant Plants are predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Historically, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi; however, all current definitions of Plantae exclude the fungi and some algae, as well as the prokaryotes (the archaea and bacteria). By one definition, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (Latin name for "green plants") which is sister of the Glaucophyta, and consists of the green algae and Embryophyta (land plants). The latter includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns and their allies, hornworts, liverworts, and mosses. Most plants are multicellular organisms. Green plants obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis by primary chloroplasts that are derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria. Their chloroplasts contain chlorophylls a and b, which gives them their green color. Some plants are parasitic or mycotrophic and have lost the ...
