So the rules of binomial nomenclature are fairly simple, and i am going to use the scientific name, bison, bison.
00:10
That is the scientific name of the bison here in the united states.
00:15
It's also one of my favorite.
00:18
So first and foremost, when you're writing scientific names, the name of the genus, which is this first name in humans, it would be homo.
00:27
Say homo would be the genus, and then sapien is the specific epithet.
00:34
So first rule is first letter is always capitalized of the species.
00:44
I'm just going to put first capital.
00:49
The second rule is that the name itself is going to be in latin.
01:01
So if you were to name of species, you need to make sure there's a lot in latin endings.
01:08
The third rule is if it is, if like you're typing it, you put in italicized.
01:16
You notice bison bison is not italicized, and that's because i don't have the option...
