In Linnaean taxonomy, taxa are defined by a set of traits thought to be unique to the group.

In fact, it does not have an exact present form, as " Linnaean taxonomy " as such does not really exist: it is a collective ( abstracting ) term for what actually are several separate fields, which use similar approaches.

The secondary ranks between the suborders and the families are out of practical or historical considerations than out of strict respect for phylogenetic classifications ( modern cladists spurn the use of Linnaean rank names ).

** Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, two Looney Tunes characters, are given various dog Latin Linnaean taxonomical names at the beginning of most of their cartoons

These four clades are usually discussed without a Linnaean rank, but has been assigned the rank of cohort or magnorder, and superorder.

In this larger sense, its borders are Garden St. to the west, Linnaean St. to the north, Walker St. to the east, and Shepard St. to the south.

The difference is one of weight: While phylogenetic nomenclature bases the group on an ancestor with a certain trait, Linnaean taxonomy uses the traits themselves to define the group.

The idea of a clade did not exist in pre-Darwinian Linnaean taxonomy, which was based by necessity only on internal or external morphological similarities between organisms – although as it happens, many of the better known animal groups in Linnaeus ' original Systema Naturae ( notably among the vertebrate groups ) do represent clades.

The same applies to " Linnaean name ": depending on the context this may either be a formal name given by Linnaeus ( personally ), such as Giraffa camelopardalis Linnaeus, 1758, or a formal name in the accepted nomenclature ( as opposed to a modernistic clade name ).

It was the first in English based on the then new Linnaean taxonomy — a classification of all living things — devised by the eminent Swedish botanist and physician Carolus Linnaeus ( 1707 – 1778 ).

* William Withering publishes The botanical arrangement of all the vegetables naturally growing in Great Britain, the first flora in English based on Linnaean taxonomy.

Shortly after his return to England he read a paper on his theory of mimicry at a meeting of the Linnean Society of London on the 21st of November 1861, which was then published in 1862 as ' Contributions to an Insect Fauna of the Amazon Valley ' in the Transactions of the Linnaean Society.

Started in September 2004, with biologists across the world invited to contribute, the project had grown a framework encompassing the Linnaean taxonomy with links to Wikipedia articles on individual species by April 2005.

Traditionally the taxonomy of bacteria was based on similarities and differences in morphology ( Linnaean taxonomy ).

The classification of organisms can be made on the basis of morphology ( Linnaean taxonomy ) or according to ancestry / genetic origin ( cladistics ).

" Haughton has the dubious honour of being the first person to comment on Darwin ’ s theory when the joint papers of Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace were read to the Linnaean Society of London in 1858.

He was writing up his theory in 1858 when he received an essay from Alfred Russel Wallace who was in Borneo, describing Wallace's own theory of natural selection, prompting immediate joint publication of extracts from Darwin's 1844 essay together with Wallace's paper as On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties ; and on the Perpetuation of Varieties and Species by Natural Means of Selection in a presentation to the Linnaean Society on 1 July 1858.

Dohrn had many contacts including Alexander Henry Haliday, with whom he wrote a paper on the Linnaean Diptera ( See Talk: Carl August Dohrn ) and the London entomologists.

Dyer persuaded him to spend time researching the biological processes involved in brewing ginger beer, and helped ensure his entry to the Linnaean society, his signature was on a letter to the prime minister of the day H H Asquith recommending a pension should be paid to his widow, Selina after his death.

* Mykologische Berichtigungen zu der nachgelassenen Sowerbyschen Sammlung, so wie zu den wenigen in Linneschen Herbarium vorhandenen Pilzen nebst Aufstellung einiger ausländischer Gattungen und Arten ( Mycological determinations for the addenda to the Sowerby collection, a few of the fungi on stock in the Linnaean herbarium, with a presentation of some of the foreign genera and species )

The ongoing conflict between traditional, Linnaean classifications and non-traditional classifications is exemplified by the problem inherent in continued usage of the name Heteroptera when it no longer can be matched to any standard Linnaean rank ( as it falls below suborder but above infraorder ).

This would have matched a type of pre-Neanderthalian ( according to a Linnaean species definition ) preceding the most ancient types of classic Neanderthal and subsequently to the phases of Homo erectus, subsequently the estimation of the dating involved an interval between 400, 000 and 100, 000 years ago, with most likely values around 150-250, 000 years ago.

* In Linnaean taxonomy, genus is the rank between family and species.

The Linnaean system has proven robust and it remains the only extant working classification system at present that enjoys universal scientific acceptance.

On a recommendation from Linnaeus, Dahl served as curator at the private natural museum and botanical garden of Claes Alströmer, a Linnaean disciple, at Kristinedal in Gamlestaden, outside Gothenburg.

The label was not considered to be a proper Linnaean " name " for the animal in question at the time, and was not used in subsequent literature.

Returning to Sweden, he again took up his position as botanices demonstrator at Uppsala, and was in 1802 elected president of the " Zoophytolithic Society " ( later called the Linnaean Institute ).

Scientists generally recognize that folk taxonomies conflict at times with Linnaean taxonomy or current interpretations of evolutionary relationships, and can tend to refer to generalized rather than quantitatively informative traits in an organism.

The preparation for this venture was made by Benjamin Daydon Jackson of the Linnaean Society, directed by Joseph Dalton Hooker at Kew.

It is located at 21 Linnaean Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

This means that advocates of phylogenetic nomenclature have removed a large number of basal Devonian and Carboniferous amphibian-type tetrapod groups that were formerly placed in Amphibia in Linnaean taxonomy, and included them elsewhere under cladistic taxonomy.

The dominant classification system is called the Linnaean taxonomy.

The Avon Hill sub-neighborhood consists of the higher elevations bounded by Upland Road, Raymond Street, Linnaean Street and Massachusetts Avenue.

Mayr encouraged his Linnaean Society seminar participants to take up a specific research project of their own.

He was awarded the Linnean Society of London's prestigious Darwin-Wallace Medal in 1958 and the Linnaean Society of New York's inaugural Eisenmann Medal in 1983.

( Some critics thought he should have organized the plates in Linnaean order as befitting a " serious " ornithological treatise.

* He was elected to the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the Linnaean Society, and the Royal Society in recognition of his contributions.

Prior to Linnaean taxonomy, animals were classified according to their mode of movement.

A strength of Linnaean taxonomy is that it can be used to organize the different kinds of living organisms, simply and practically.

This is largely what is meant by the term ' Linnaean taxonomy ' when used in a modern context.

Representing presumptive evolutionary relationships, especially given the wide acceptance of cladistic methodology and numerous molecular phylogenies that have challenged long-accepted classifications, within the framework of Linnaean taxonomy, is sometimes seen as problematic.

* Zoology mnemonic for a list of mnemonic sentences used to help people remember the list of Linnaean ranks.

The Poverty of the Linnaean Hierarchy: A Philosophical Study of Biological Taxonomy.

In Egypt he spent three years, and from a practice in the management of Date Palms, which he observed in that country, he seems to have deduced the doctrine of the sexual difference of plants, which was adopted as the foundation of the Linnaean taxonomy system.

As a result the Linnaean system was born, and is still used in essentially the same way today as it was in the eighteenth century.

In 1787 he was elected a Fellow of the Linnaean Society in recognition of his contribution to botany.

An incident in August 1817 spawned a rather silly mix-up when a committee of the New England Linnaean Society went so far as to give a deformed terrestrial snake the name Scoliophis atlanticus, believing it was the juvenile form of a sea serpent that had recently been reported in Gloucester Harbor.

After the Linnaean Society's misidentification was discovered, it was frequently cited by debunkers as evidence that the creature did not exist.
