Scintific Names of organism and their founders

Answer and Explanation:

Taxonomy is the area of science that focuses on classifying organisms. Within this area, the Binomial Nomenclature is the system of naming organisms in regard to their classification. The father (founder) of the Binomial Nomenclature or Taxonomy is Carl Linnaeus. He was the first scientist to name organisms as we do today, that is, the genus followed by the species name. He published the book Systema Naturae which contained thousands of species of flora and fauna and their scientific names.

Today, scientists are able to label an organism by using the name of another person, e. g. an inspiring scientist, person, figure, or even an actor or singer.

Here are some examples:

Agathidium bushi (beetle) - Named after George W. Bush

Doronomyrmex pocahontas (ant) - Named after Pocahontas

Scientist (s) : Buschinger

Electrotettix attenboroughi (grasshopper) - Named after Sir David Attenborough
