style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: rgb(23,23,23); FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">Taxonomists
need a common language worldwide. This is provided by the international codes of
nomenclature. Although several codes exist, according to the organisms at stake,
they all follow a similar mode of allocation of names to taxa (through “types”)
and of establishment of the valid name for a taxon (priority, usage). As
biological nomenclature is rarely taught in academic formations, many
taxonomists have difficulties mastering it. This training will provide an
overview of the history and epistemology of biological nomenclature, and a
discussion of the relationships between phylogeny, taxonomy and nomenclature.
The zoological and botanical codes will be presented in detail, the other codes
more briefly. The recent problems and projects of nomenclature, including
alternative systems, will be discussed.</SPAN><SPAN
