Roses by other names: taxonomy of the Rhizobiaceae.
When Shakespeare wrote (46), “What’s in a name? that which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet,” he implied that phenotypes (scent in this case) take precedence over nomenclature. In popular usage, they usually do. Cartoonists classify politicians by their ears or noses. Scientists use physical characteristics to delimit everything from species (e.g., cranium size in the gen...
متن کاملAmazonia Biodiversity Estimation Using Remote Sensing and Indigenous Taxonomy
Measuring and monitoring biological diversity is a priority for safeguarding life on Earth. Measuring species richness is the most popular method to assess biodiversity. It is however laborious and expensive. To obviate this problem many studies of biodiversity use higher taxon richness (using genera and families) as a less data demanding surrogate for species richness, or select some taxa as "...

متن کاملContextual Cross-Referencing of Species Names for Fiddler Crabs (Genus Uca): An Experiment in Cyber-Taxonomy
Cyber-taxonomy of name usage has focused primarily on producing authoritative lists of names or cross-linking names and data across disparate databases. A feature missing from much of this work is the recording and analysis of the context in which a name was used--context which can be critical for understanding not only what name an author used, but to which currently recognized species they ac...
متن کاملDissecting the Ambiguity of FMA Concept Names Using Taxonomy and Partonomy Structural Information
The complex inner structures of concept names in the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) remain an obstacle for further analyzing the ontology using lexical methods. A very common problem is the ambiguity lying in names with the sometimes multiple occurrences of the preposition "of." In this paper, we propose an automatic method to help disambiguating FMA terms by leveraging the taxonomy and pa...
