What's the difference between linnaean and linnean?
Linnaean
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Linnean
Example Sentences:
(1) Of the Linnaean taxa, the section Salivaria and the four subgenera thereof, Duttonella, Nannomonas, Pycnomonas, and Trypanozoon, are useful at the present time but lower taxa are often unsatisfactorily defined.
(2) Thus, nomenclatural prejudice is eliminated, and, by keeping the system informal and thus circumventing the Linnaean system, our system remains flexible in accommodating new data yet should retain a great degree of stability.
Linnean
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to Linnaeus, the celebrated Swedish botanist.
Example Sentences:
(1) In a statement, the Linnean society said: "The Chagossians' return and conservation are not necessarily exclusive.
(2) We have a golden opportunity to preserve and observe," said Elizabeth Rollinson, secretary of the Linnean Society.
(3) The authors propose a new classification for the genus Leishmania Ross, 1903 based both on the use of intrinsic and extrinsic characters and on Linnean and Adansonian methods.
(4) Uniparental reproduction renders unsatisfactory Linnean taxonomy; this needs to be supplemented by the "natural clone" as an additional taxonomic unit, which is best defined by means of genetic markers.
(5) The apparent success of earlier Linnean nomenclature (with its implications of discrete species) could easily have been misinterpreted as evidence of punctuation and stasis, and it is probable that detection of many other gradualistic patterns has been hindered by ready application of binominal taxonomy to fossils.
