Names • Indicate a new discovery or invention • Constant source of frustration • End users of literature and scientific databases • Publishers and data providers • Names are not permanent • Queries can be incomplete or wrong • Difficult and costly to maintain • Render content inaccessible and obsolete • Poor identifiers
Ogden Richards semiotic triangle THOUGHT OR REFERENCE Symbolizes (a causal relationship) Refers to (other causal relations) SYMBOL REFERENT Stands for (an imputed relation) Adapted from Ogden,CK and Richards, IA The Meaning of Meaning, Magdale, 1923
Does the OGT apply to biological names? TAXONOMIC CONCEPT Symbolizes (a causal relationship) Refers to (other causal relations) NAME EXEMPLAR Stands for (an imputed relation)
Fundamentals of bacterial nomenclature • Governed by Codes of Nomenclature • Scientific names are all latinized words • Purpose is to serve as a unique label • Each name is “anchored” by a nomenclatural type • Correct names are based upon • Valid publication • Legitimacy • Priority of publication • Names have standing only if validly published • Each taxon can bear only one correct name, based on • Circumscription • Position • Rank • Names should not be changed without sufficient reason Adapted from International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria, 1990 Revision
Anatomy of a bacterial name Alteromonas communis Bauman et al. 1972 Authority and priority date Latinized species name Species epithet Marinomonas commune (Bauman et al. 1972) van Landshoot and Delay 1984 Oceanomonas commune (Bauman et al. 1972) Bowditch et al. 1984 Alteromonas Baumann et al. 1972 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Novick and Tyler 1985 Alteromonadaceae Ivanova and Mikhailov 2001 emend. Ivanova et al. 2004
Nomenclatural assertions New name • Any rank from subspecies to order • Must assert novelty, declare type, circumscribe taxon, provide definition of name. • Effective vs. valid publication New combination • Subspecies or species split • Must assert novelty, declare type, circumscribe taxon, provide definition of new genus name. Species epithet retained. Synonymies Heterotypic Homotypic Orthographic corrections Rejected/conserved names
