Emendation

In zoological nomenclature, emendations are alterations made to the spelling of taxon names. In bacteriological nomenclature, emendations are made to the circumscription of a taxon.[1]

In zoology

The change must be consciously made along with justification for altering the spelling originally used by the taxon author while describing the species. Any other spelling changes are considered to be unjustified. Valid emendations include changes made to correct:[2][3]

  • typographical errors in the original work describing the species
  • errors in transliteration from non-Latin languages
  • names that included diacritics, hyphens
  • endings of species to match the gender of the generic name, particularly when the combination has been changed

The binomial authority remains unchanged.

gollark: ALL protocols are to support reasonable confidentiality.
gollark: Maybe, but it can have POST bodies.
gollark: - gpg is isomorphic to cryoapioform - it is already too late, as I just interfaced this with a JS engine and some HTML layouting stuff and am accessing my email through this; for now, I am using an SSH tunnel, but this is uncool, so security *is* required - additionally, normalizing protection of exactly which content you visit from eavesdroppers is good- it doesn't even have a Content-Length field- but I need to store arbitrarily large indices into metagollarious ultraspace
gollark: Where?
gollark: - lack of TLS, while ALL is to be utterly secured- no extensibility- what if I want to send 1025 bytes
