caption_attribution_description: English: Title page of the 10th edition of Systema naturæ written by Carl Linnæus, published in 1758 by L. Salvius in Stockholm. Digitized in 2004 from an original copy of the 1758 edition held by Göttingen State and University Library, signature &lt;8 H NAT I, 7105 &lt;10&gt;:1&gt;. Uploaded by Francisco Welter-Schultes, I personally checked that the original copy was identical with the digitized version. This is the original title page of the famous 1758 work which provided the base for modern zoological nomenclature. This image can be taken to illustrate the original work of Carl Linnæus.
context_page_description: This bibliography of biology is a list of notable works, organized by subdiscipline, on the subject of biology.
  Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy. Biology is a vast subject containing many subdivisions, topics, and disciplines. Subdisciplines of biology are recognized on the basis of the scale at which organisms are studied and the methods used to study them.
context_section_description: This section contains a list of works on taxonomy, the practice and science of classification or the result of it.
  Linnaeus, Carolus (1758–1759). Systema naturæ per regna tria naturæ, secundum classes, ordines, genera, species, cum characteribus, differentiis, synonymis, locis (two volumes) (in Latin). Online access (10th ed.). Stockholm: Laurentius Salvius.
  Classified animals using a hierarchical system with 5 levels: Kingdom, class, order, genus and species. The official starting point of zoological nomenclature.
  Linnaeus, Carolus (1753). Species Plantarum (The Species of Plants).
  A two-volume work, going through many editions (ever expanding), listing all plants then known, made accessible by an ordering in (artificial) classes and orders, and giving every listed species a two-part name. With this book anybody, by counting the male and female parts present in a flower, could get to a listing of the genera the plant in question belongs to. The system of binomial nomenclature that bears his name effectively began with this work.
