why is scientific nomenclature important
Every recognized species on earth (at least in theory) is given a two-part scientific name. This system is called binomial nomenclature.. These names are important because they allow people throughout the world to communicate unambiguously about animal species.he scientific name of each species is made up of a generic name (generic epithet) and a specific name (specific epithet). In our bluegill sunfish example the generic epithet is Lepomis and the specific epithet is macrochirus.
