tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243614842011-04-21T17:56:39.931-07:00The aim of the binomial nomenclature used by biologists to call species is simplify and standardize the comunication between scientists from different origins. Sometimes I realize the meaning of a scientific name and after that, is easier to remember the bug because of the meaning of its name than by its name and surname... which are in Latin So what do you think? Is easier that way? Makes more sense? I hope it does.
