Carl Linnaeus [a] (23 May 1707 [note 1] – 10 January 1778), also known after ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné, [3] [b] was a Swedish biologist and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy". [4]
The particular form of biological classification (taxonomy) set up by Carl Linnaeus, as set forth in his Systema Naturae (1735) and subsequent works. In the taxonomy of Linnaeus there are three kingdoms, divided into classes, and the classes divided into lower ranks in a hierarchical order. A term for rank-based classification of organisms, in ...
Linnaeus (later known as "Carl von Linné", after his ennoblement in 1761) [8] published the first edition of Systema Naturae in the year 1735, during his stay in the Netherlands. As was customary for the scientific literature of its day, the book was published in Latin.
Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778), a Swedish botanist, invented the modern system of binomial nomenclature. Prior to the adoption of the modern binomial system of naming species, a scientific name consisted of a generic name combined with a specific name that was from one to several words long. Together they formed a system of polynomial nomenclature ...
The Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778) [38] ushered in a new era of taxonomy. With his major works Systema Naturae 1st Edition in 1735, [ 48 ] Species Plantarum in 1753, [ 49 ] and Systema Naturae 10th Edition , [ 50 ] he revolutionized modern taxonomy.
Linnaeus did not invent the binomial system but he was the person who provided the theoretical framework that lead to its universal acceptance. [3] The second word of the binomial, the nomen triviale as Linnaeus called it, is now known as the specific epithet and the two words, the generic name and specific epithet together make up the species ...
Carl Linnaeus, an 18th-century naturalist who formalized binomial nomenclature, [16] is said to have "invented the index card" c. 1760 [1] in order to help deal with the information overload facing early scientists that occurred from overseas discoveries, [17] though there is room for dispute about whether he alone was the index card's inventor ...
The bibliography of Carl Linnaeus includes academic works about botany, zoology, nomenclature and taxonomy written by the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778). Linnaeus laid the foundations for the modern scheme of binomial nomenclature and is known as the father of modern taxonomy.
